Vespa Edizione Ottantesimo Scooter
Vespa's original 1946 wheels borrowed their support arm straight from aircraft landing gear, engineered by aeronautical designer Corradino D'Ascanio so a flat could be swapped without pulling an axle. Now for Vespa's 80th anniversary, the Edizione Ottantesimo revives that same pressed-steel wheel profile on the GTS 310, cut with a diamond-finish channel and painted Verde 80th, a pastel green lifted from Vespa's earliest single-color models. Underneath: a 310cc liquid-cooled single producing 25 hp and 21.3 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-inch color TFT display running Vespa's MIA connectivity. The rear seat snaps under a body-color hard cover for a single-seat, competition-style profile, and every unit carries a numbered plaque under the saddle, one of 1,946 built worldwide, a count matched to the year Piaggio patented the design. Each comes with a matching helmet and a commemorative book from Assouline.
