According to the Chinese calendar, 2024 is the year of the dragon, the fifth animal in the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. Reason for Piaggio to celebrate this in an appropriate way with the limited Vespa 946 Dragon and matching jacket.
A Vespa 946, but with a different color and a sticker of a dragon, if you ask us, that’s the Vespa 946 Dragon in a nutshell, but according to the Italians, the cool scooter is more than that.
“The Vespa 946 has been redesigned in a golden hue and is adorned with an emerald green dragon motif that winds around the bodywork for the exclusive Dragon collector’s edition. Crafted in Italy with advanced technology, the Vespa 946 Dragon’s handcrafted design marks a fusion of cultures, innovation and refinement,” Vespa said in its press release.
The model can be reserved from January 18 to February 18 via prebooking on the Vespa website and has a limited edition of 1,888 pieces.
In addition to the unique limited scooter, Vespa is releasing its first fashion item in honor of the year of the dragon: the exclusive Dragon Varsity Jacket. Inspired by the design of the Vespa 946 Dragon, the jacket is made of light beige ribbed wool with soft nappa leather sleeves.
An emerald green dragon is embroidered on the left front pocket and back. The front of the jacket features Vespa’s iconic V monogram along with an ancient Chinese saying: “He who wants to be a dragon must eat many little snakes”.
According to Vespa, the exclusive collection reflects the daring character that is central to the Year of the Dragon.
