At the Vespa Days event in Rome (June 25‑28, 2026), Piaggio unveiled the Vespa Edizione Ottatesimo – a special‑edition scooter created to mark the brand’s 80th anniversary. Only 1,946 units will be produced worldwide, a number that mirrors the year Vespa was founded.
Design that nods to heritage
The Edizione Ottatesimo stands out with a muted‑gray “smog” finish complemented by vivid green accents. The green hue decorates the seat and the 12‑inch wheels, echoing the palette of early Vespa models. The wheels themselves are inspired by the stamped‑metal rims first seen on the 1946 Vespa 98.
Three‑dimensional “80” badges in the same signature green are embossed on both sides of the scooter. The zero in the badge is rendered as a hexagonal bolt, a subtle tribute to Vespa’s meticulous craftsmanship. A unique serial‑number plate sits beneath the seat, confirming each bike’s place in the limited series.
Performance and mechanics
Built on the foundation of the Vespa GTS 310, the Ottatesimo houses a single‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled HPE 310 engine delivering 25 hp at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 28.4 Nm at 5,250 rpm. The powertrain is paired with a smooth, automatic transmission for an effortless city ride.
Tech‑savvy features
- Full‑LED lighting system for brighter, energy‑efficient illumination.
- 5‑inch full‑color TFT display, supporting the Vespa MIA app for navigation, ride stats and remote diagnostics.
- Single‑disc brakes on both wheels, equipped with standard ABS for enhanced safety.
- Smart key system with anti‑theft lock.
- Traction control (ASR) to keep the scooter stable on slippery surfaces.
Pricing and limited availability
The Vespa Edizione Ottatesimo will be priced at USD 12,000 in the United States and USD 16,000 in the United Kingdom. In the U.S., only 25 units will be allocated, making the model a true collector’s item.
