1. Celebrating the Year of the Horse 🐎

Vespa has unveiled the Vespa 946 Horse, a special limited‑edition scooter inspired by the Chinese Lunar Year of the Horse — part of its ongoing Lunar Collection series following editions like the Dragon and Snake.

2. Striking & Thematic Design

This edition sports a deep bay brown finish (reminiscent of a horse’s coat) with a mix of matte and gloss surfaces, accented by gold‑toned visuals — including a horseshoe‑style v monogram beneath the seat.

3. Premium Italian Craftsmanship

The 946 Horse features:

  • A handcrafted Italian leather saddle inspired by equestrian tack
  • Matching leather trims on handlebars and mirrors
    These enhance both the scooter’s look and tactile appeal.

4. Exclusive Accessories & Helmet

Vespa has designed a series of dedicated accessories for this edition, such as:

  • Rear‑mounted leather bag
  • Windshield with aluminium supports
  • A matching jet helmet with a gold Vespa emblem
    All crafted to complement the scooter’s design theme.

5. Built on the Beloved 946 Platform

Mechanically, the 946 Horse is based on the established Vespa 946 framework — known for combining classic retro styling with modern engineering — making it more of a collector’s piece than a performance overhaul.

6. Part of the Vespa lifestyle — “In Sella” fashion Drop

Alongside the scooter, Vespa launched the “In Sella” capsule collection — its third drop in the AL VENTO apparel line — featuring equestrian‑inspired jackets, knitwear, T‑shirts and a wool blanket in navy and gold themes.

7. Limited Availability & Pre‑Orders

Pre‑orders for the Vespa 946 Horse began on January 26, 2026 through Vespa’s official global website and the Vespa The Empty Space concept store in Milan.

8. collector Appeal & Exclusivity

Like earlier 946 Lunar editions, the Horse model is aimed at collectors and style‑oriented buyers rather than mass‑market riders — making it a coveted addition to the Vespa 946 lineage.

Bottom Line: The Vespa 946 Horse is much more than a scooter — it’s a symbolic, limited‑edition lifestyle piece celebrating culture, craftsmanship, and design, while continuing Vespa’s tradition of highly collectible Lunar Collection releases.
