Vespa “Edizione Ottantesimo”
UNVEILED IN ROME AT THE FORO ITALICO DURING THE “80 YEARS OF AN ICON” EVENT, VESPA “EDIZIONE OTTANTESIMO” CAN NOW BE ORDERED ONLINE
In Rome, against the inimitable and majestic backdrop of the Foro Italico, Vespa presents the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo, on the opening day of the celebrations marking its 80th anniversary.
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo embodies eighty years of powerful stories and overwhelming passion: tales of freedom and independence, of enthusiasm and of the joy of being alive, stories featuring an Italian legend.
Rome, the Eternal City, the place that more than any other evokes the iconic imagery of La Dolce Vita, was the only choice for the baptism of such a unique creation. This special model is rare from the outset: as a tribute to the year the Vespa was created, each edition produced will be numbered, and limited to just 1,946 units in total.
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo revives, reinterprets and pays homage to the Vespa’s symbolic backbone, the distinctive feature which truly represents this vehicle in its purest, most unmistakable form: the load-bearing body with its timeless design, constructed entirely and exclusively from steel.
Indeed, even the unique livery of the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo is inspired by the raw steel of the bodywork. Pure metal: rough, solid, indestructible, authentic.
But Vespa is also innovation, technology and excellence, attention to detail and an exacting focus on even the tiniest elements. Here, the steel finish meets the vibrancy of colour, blending with the refined finishes to create a magical fusion of tradition and modernity.
A distinctive shade of green, which harks back to Vespa’s early single-colour models, is featured on the saddle and wheel rims. With a sporty single-seater look, the rear seat is covered by a removable hard cover in the same colour as the body, a nod to the typical fairings of competition Vespas. However, the saddle is in fact type-approved for two riders and features a wide, comfortable seat with horizontal heat-sealed seams and tone-on-tone stitching around the contours.
The wheel rims boast a design that reinterprets the closed, pressed sheet-metal structure of the version fitted to the legendary Vespa 98 from 1946, and are enhanced by a channel with a diamond-cut finish.
A special three-dimensional graphic depicting the number 80 stands out on the sides, in the same green. Its contours not only feature the hexagonal logo, the common thread that ties this extraordinary anniversary together, but also inevitably bring to mind the shape of a bolt, thus highlighting the manual craftsmanship and artisan-quality workmanship that have always characterised Vespa vehicles.
The set-up of this model is completed by a numbered commemorative plaque, positioned in the under-seat compartment.
A special dedicated helmet is also provided, which matches the Vespa perfectly. The top of the helmet echoes the textured grey of the bodywork, with a matte finish, and is complemented by green detailing. The number 80 stands out on the back, in the same design that appears on the sides of the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo.
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo shares the same technical base as the models in the Vespa GTS 310 range, and is therefore powered by the modern 310 hpe single-cylinder engine with 25 hp, the most powerful ever used on a Vespa.
The comprehensive range of technological features provided as standard includes full LED lighting and a 5-inch colour TFT display, which allows the rider to make the most of the VESPA MIA connectivity system, which also comes as standard.
It also features a keyless system, which allows the engine to be started without having to insert a traditional key, as well as courtesy lights in the rear of the shield and under-seat compartment. Meanwhile, in terms of safety, electronic traction control (ASR) and anti-lock braking system (ABS) are also provided as standard.
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo can be enhanced with stylish accessories, such as the top box – with a capacity of 36 litres – in the same colour as the bodywork, which can be fitted with a padded backrest in the same colour and material as the saddle.
The extensive range of original Vespa accessories is naturally available to lend an even more personalised touch to the vehicle or to enhance its functionality: these include front and rear luggage racks, side bars, fairings and windscreens, and an electronic anti-theft system.
Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo can be ordered online from today in selected markets.
Each Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo comes with a unique book
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo is a tribute to Italian beauty and style, of which Vespa is one of the world’s leading ambassadors. For this reason, each Vespa sold comes with a beautiful coffee table book by Assouline, a luxury brand known across the world for its stunning volumes dedicated to the culture of style and elegance.
The book celebrates the legend of the Vespa through its most iconic images, alongside rare material unearthed from the Piaggio archives, tracing its evolution and its constant influence on cultures and lifestyles.

Steel, colour, the mark of a legend.
Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo pays tribute to the purest essence of the brand: the steel monocoque body, a symbol of strength, durability and identity.
The matt metallic grey livery recalls raw steel, transforming it into a textured, elegant finish. This intense base is paired with the energy of green, featured on the seat, wheels and dedicated graphics as a reference to the earliest Vespa productions.
Between graphic sign and artisanal memory.
Also in green, a special graphic with a three-dimensional texture featuring the number 80 stands out on the side panels. Its outlines, while echoing the hexagonal logo that acts as the common thread of this extraordinary anniversary, inevitably recall the shape of bolts, enhancing the manual craftsmanship and precious artisanal quality that have always defined Vespa.
The set-up is completed by a numbered celebratory badge, positioned in the under-seat compartment.
The matching helmet
An exclusive detail, in perfect Vespa style.
Included with Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo is a special dedicated helmet, designed to reflect the vehicle’s aesthetic identity.
The shell echoes the textured grey of the bodywork, with a matt finish and green details. On the back, the number 80 reprises the three-dimensional graphic featured on the side panels, completing the coordinated look of this special edition.
Technology
The 5” colour TFT display gives access to the advanced functions of the Vespa MIA system, making every journey more personal, while the keyless system simplifies everyday use by eliminating the need for a traditional key. Integrated with the Vespa MIA app, the Navigation System* displays pictogram-based GPS directions directly on the screen, providing information on distance, travel time and route.
Lighting
Excellent visibility is ensured by full LED lights, providing clarity both in the city and on every kind of route. On the leg shield back plate, LED courtesy lights further enhance illumination, improving visibility around the footboard when getting off the vehicle.
Matt metallic bodywork
The matt metallic grey livery is inspired by the raw steel of the Vespa body: a textured, solid and sophisticated finish.
Celebratory details
Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo is rich in celebratory details, and each unit is made unique by a numbered badge positioned in the under-seat compartment.
Three-dimensional textured graphics
The three-dimensional graphic celebrates the anniversary with a mark inspired by the 80th anniversary hexagonal logo and the material language of Vespa craftsmanship.
