Discover the Vespa 946 Horse 2026, a limited-run luxury scooter inspired by the lunar Year of the Horse. Only 888 units worldwide—learn more now!
Italian scooter icon Vespa, part of the Piaggio Group, is set to unveil the Vespa 946 Horse 2026. This special edition celebrates the lunar Year of the Horse, a motif that resonates across many Asian cultures, including Vietnam.
Design Inspired by the Year of the Horse
The 946 Horse draws its spirit from the Binh Ngọ (Wood‑Horse) year, embodying the zodiac’s ideals of freedom, intelligence, and sleek elegance. Key visual cues include a stylised horse‑shoe motif beneath the seat and a subtle ‘V’—the Vespa monogram—crafted in polished gold‑plated brake calipers.
Exclusive Limited Production
Only 888 units will be produced worldwide, making the 946 Horse the fourth Vespa 946 model released with a lunar‑calendar theme. Previous editions were:
- 2025 “Snake” – 888 units
- 2024 “Dragon” – 1,888 units
- 2023 “Rabbit” – 1,000 units
Premium Styling and Materials
The scooter wears a deep metallic‑brown finish accented with gold‑tone stitching. Leather‑trimmed handlebars feature a diamond‑pattern stitch in a contrasting shade, while the seat is wrapped in high‑grade leather with matching golden thread. The dual‑tone, multi‑spoke alloy wheels complete the upscale look.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
Even though Vespa has kept the power‑train details under wraps for the 946 Horse, the model inherits the sophisticated chassis of the 946 range:
- Monocoque steel frame with aluminium sub‑components (handlebars, swing‑arm, rear mud‑guard, mirror brackets, and seat support).
- Single‑action front fork with coil spring and single shock absorber.
- Hydraulic mono‑shock rear suspension, adjustable in five load settings.
- Full‑colour digital dashboard and LED lighting.
Pricing & Market Position
While Vespa has not announced an official price for the 946 Horse, recent limited‑edition 946 models in Vietnam have been priced as follows:
- 2025 “Snake” – VND 460 million
- 2024 “Dragon” – VND 455 million
- 2023 “Rabbit” – VND 425 million
Given the exclusive nature of the Horse edition, expect a premium price point comparable to or above the previous year’s Snake model.
Availability
The 946 Horse will go on sale globally at the beginning of 2026. Interested buyers should watch Vespa’s official channels for dealer‑level allocations and reservation details.
