Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo unveiled to mark the brand's 80th anniversary
09. 07. 2026.During the grand "80 Years of an Icon" celebration at Foro Italico in Rome, Vespa unveiled a special model – the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo. Although it is a limited edition that only a select few will have the opportunity to own, the experience that makes Vespa so iconic can be enjoyed without this exclusive model.
Our agency offers the Vespa Primavera 125, so if you're looking to rent a scooter in Tivat, this legendary model gives you the perfect opportunity to experience the unique charm of riding a Vespa.
Why the number 1,946 is so special
The name "Ottantesimo" is not the only detail that pays tribute to Vespa's heritage. Production is limited to exactly 1,946 units – a symbolic reference to the year Vespa was born. Each scooter features its own numbered plaque beneath the seat, making this model a true collector's item rather than just another limited edition.
A design that returns to the brand's roots
The body is made of steel, while the paint was carefully chosen to resemble raw, unfinished metal, creating a rugged and authentic look that pays tribute to the very first Vespas. In addition, the distinctive green accents on the seat and wheel rims recall the original single-colour models from the 1940s.
The seat design is equally interesting. At first glance, the Vespa appears to be built for a single rider, as the rear section is covered by a rigid body-coloured cowl inspired by classic racing models. Beneath it, however, is a comfortable passenger seat. The large number 80 stands out on the side panels, while the wheel rims feature a design inspired by the legendary Vespa 98 from 1946.
The most powerful Vespa ever built
Beneath its elegant exterior lies impressive engineering. The Edizione Ottantesimo shares its platform with the GTS 310, meaning it is powered by a 310 cc single-cylinder engine producing 25 horsepower – the most powerful production Vespa in the brand's history. Standard equipment includes full LED lighting, a 5-inch colour TFT display, the Vespa MIA smartphone connectivity system, keyless ignition, as well as ABS and ASR traction control for enhanced safety.
Details that make the difference
The scooter also comes with a specially designed helmet finished in the same grey-green colour scheme, featuring the number 80 on the back. Buyers also receive a luxury monograph published by Assouline, featuring rare photographs from the Piaggio archives that tell the complete story of Vespa. Optional accessories such as a 36-litre top case, luggage rack and windscreen are also available for those who wish to personalise the model even further. The price of this limited edition is approximately €10,400.
Over the past eight decades, Vespa has proven that it is much more than just a means of transportation – it is a way of life. Although the Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo will remain a dream for many fans of this legendary brand, the feeling of freedom and enjoyment that comes with riding a Vespa is something everyone can experience.
When you wish to experience that feeling yourself, rent a scooter in Tivat and explore the Montenegrin coast on a Vespa Primavera 125, available through Queen Rent a scooter agency.
