Deep paint that expresses the horse's chestnut color and outstanding Italian craftsmanship
The Vespa 946 Horse is a special limited edition model that pays homage to the symbolism of the twelve animal signs of the Chinese zodiac, and is the latest version following the Dragon and Snake. At the core of the design is the fusion of elegance with the values of the horse, a symbol of majesty, dynamism, and tenacity. The body color is a deep paint that recalls the shiny, dark chestnut color of the horse. The contrast between the matte and gloss finishes further accentuates the beauty of the modeling.
High quality and advanced safety performance from the fusion of steel monocoque and aluminum parts
While the core of the vehicle is the Vespa's traditional steel monocoque body, a wealth of aluminum parts are lavishly used throughout, including wheels, handlebars, side panels, front mudguard, mirror support, and seat support. These parts are handmade by skilled craftsmen and women, and the high quality of the finished product transcends the boundaries of an industrial product. LED headlamps and taillamps are used for lighting, and an LCD multifunctional instrument panel is used for the instrument panel, incorporating the latest technology into a traditional silhouette.
