Vespa
946 Emporio Armani
The
Vespa people have joined forces with legendary fashion guru Giorgio Armani to
produce an especially classy version of the 946 called the Emporio Armani.
These two classically Italian brands have come together to celebrate the 130th
anniversary of the Piaggio Group and the 40th of the Giorgio Armani brand.
This
new version of the Vespa 946 sports an exclusive color scheme conceived by the
maestro himself: a dark shade of matte gray with a touch of green that pops up
only under specific lighting conditions. All the metallic elements of the body
and of the rolling gear are painted in this Armani Gray that complements the
retro styling of the Vespa 946 and further enhances its appeal. The seat trim
and grips, as well as an optional leather bag, all in leather, are beautifully
color coordinated.
Please
recall that the project Vespa 946 was designed to link the styling of the
original 1946 Vespa with the most advanced technology in the scooter
domain—body components in sheet aluminum sheet, front and rear disc brakes, and
even a state-of-the-art electronics suite that includes ABS, traction control,
and web connectivity.
The
Vespa 946 Emporio Armani is being produced in a limited run of individually
numbered units, and sold in major cities internationally. No price has been
listed yet, but this is for sure: It won’t be inexpensive. For the record, last
year’s Bellissima Edition 946 sold for US$ 10,499 (IDR 196 millions).
