The Italian scooter legend Piaggio has unveiled the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo 2026 – a limited‑edition model that marks the brand’s 80th anniversary. With only 1,946 units produced worldwide, this exclusive bike blends classic Vespa heritage with modern performance.
Heritage and Design
Built to celebrate 80 years of Vespa, the Edizione Ottantesimo carries a symbolic production run of 1,946 machines – the same number as the year the original Vespa 98 rolled out in 1946. The scooter is finished in a sophisticated matte‑gray paint, while striking green accents adorn the seat, wheel rims, and badge, recalling the very first Vespa models.
The 12‑inch wheels are inspired by the chrome‑spoked rims of the 1946 Vespa 98, giving the bike a vintage silhouette with contemporary handling. Each unit features a three‑dimensional embossed “80” on both sides of the bodywork, and a hexagonal “0” that mimics a bolt, highlighting Vespa’s attention to detail. A discreet serial‑number plaque is tucked under the seat, confirming the bike’s exclusivity.
Performance and Technology
Under the classic styling lies a modern powerplant: the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo shares the GTS 310’s 310 cc single‑cylinder HPE engine, liquid‑cooled and delivering 25 hp at 6,500 rpm with a peak torque of 28.4 Nm at 5,250 rpm. The scooter is equipped with LED lighting, a 5‑inch full‑colour TFT display, and full integration with the Vespa MIA app for navigation, ride data, and remote lock/unlock.
