Celebrating 80 Years of Vespa
At the Vespa Days event in Rome (June 25‑28, 2026), Piaggio unveiled the Vespa Edizione Ottatesimo, a special edition model that marks the brand’s 80th anniversary. Only 1,946 units will be produced worldwide – a number that mirrors the year Vespa was founded.
Engine and Performance
The Edizione Ottatesimo is built on the proven GTS 310 platform and shares the same 310 cc single‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled HPE engine that delivers 25 hp at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 28.4 Nm at 5,250 rpm.
Design Touches that Honor Heritage
- Subtle “fog‑gray” paint with iconic green accents on the seat, wheel rims and badge.
- 12‑inch wheels inspired by the original 1946 Vespa 98, featuring a retro‑stamped steel design.
- Three‑dimensional “80” embossing in green on both sides of the fuel tank, with a hexagonal “0” resembling a bolt head.
- A unique serial‑number plate beneath the seat that identifies each limited‑edition scooter.
Modern Technology
The scooter comes equipped with full‑LED lighting, a 5‑inch colour TFT display, and Vespa MIA app connectivity. Safety features include single‑disc brakes on both wheels, ABS, ASR traction control, and a smart key system.
Pricing and Availability
In the United States the Edizione Ottatesimo will be sold for $12,000, with a limited allocation of just 25 units for American buyers. In the United Kingdom the price is set at £16,000. Production is limited to 1,946 units globally, so interested riders should act quickly.
