Vespa presented the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo at the Foro Italico on June 25, 2026, the opening day of celebrations marking its 80th anniversary. The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo embodies 80 years of stories and passion: tales of freedom and independence, of enthusiasm and the joy of being alive, featuring an Italian legend.
Rome, the Eternal City, was chosen for the debut of this model. As a tribute to the year Vespa was created, each edition produced will be numbered and limited to 1,946 units in total.
Design, Livery Honor Vespa’s Steel Body
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo revives, reinterprets and pays homage to Vespa’s symbolic backbone, the distinctive feature that represents this vehicle in its purest, most unmistakable form: the load-bearing body with its timeless design, constructed entirely and exclusively from steel.
The livery of the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo is inspired by the raw steel of the bodywork. Pure metal: rough, solid and authentic. Vespa pairs the steel finish with color and refined finishes to blend tradition and modernity.
Saddle, Wheel Rims, Graphics
A distinctive shade of green, which harks back to Vespa’s early single-color 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 color as the body, a nod to the typical fairings of competition Vespas. The saddle accommodates two riders and features a wide, comfortable seat with horizontal heat-sealed seams and tone-on-tone stitching around the contours.
The wheel rims reinterpret the closed, pressed sheet-metal structure of the version fitted to the 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 feature the hexagonal logo, the common thread that ties this anniversary together, and recall the shape of a bolt, highlighting the manual craftsmanship and artisan-quality workmanship that have always characterized Vespa vehicles.
Numbered Plaque, Dedicated Helmet
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, matching the Vespa. The top of the helmet echoes the textured gray 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.
Powertrain, Technology
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo shares the same technical base as the models in the Vespa GTS 310 range and is powered by the modern 310 hpe single-cylinder engine with 25 horsepower.
Standard features include full LED lighting and a 5-inch color TFT display, which allows the rider to make the most of the VESPA MIA connectivity system. It also features a keyless system to start the engine without a traditional key, as well as courtesy lights in the rear of the shield and under-seat compartment. For safety, electronic traction control and anti-lock braking system are also provided as standard.
Accessories, Ordering
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo can be enhanced with accessories, such as the top box — with a capacity of 36 liters (9.5 gallons) — in the same color as the bodywork, which can be fitted with a padded backrest in the same color and material as the saddle.
The range of original Vespa accessories is available to personalize the vehicle or enhance functionality. These include front and rear luggage racks, side bars, fairings and windscreens, and an electronic anti-theft system.
The Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo is available to order as of today exclusively online.
