Introducing the Vespa 946 Snake
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Vespa has introduced its latest special edition scooter: the stunning Vespa 946 Snake. Designed to honor the Chinese Lunar Calendar’s year of the snake, this premium twist-and-go scooter is set to become the ultimate collectible. With only 888 units produced, it’s a rare gem not to be missed.
Specifications That Stand Out
With an asking price of £12,115, the Vespa 946 Snake isn’t aimed at everyday commuters, but rather at passionate collectors who appreciate the finest details. The UK model boasts a 125cc three-valve engine, offering a claimed output of 11.6bhp—much like its predecessor, the 946 Dragon. For those outside Europe, a more robust 155cc engine is available, providing an exciting option for international buyers.
Design Features Inspired by Nature
What truly sets the Vespa 946 Snake apart are its unique design elements, taking inspiration from its namesake reptile. With 12-inch wheels and 220mm disc brakes, it combines performance with style. The textures of the seat and grips are designed to mimic the snake’s skin, creating a tactile connection that is both innovative and impressive. Additionally, lavish chrome badging throughout ensures that anyone spotting this beauty knows it’s far from ordinary.
As a fun bonus, the Vespa 946 Snake’s launch includes a collection of stylish wearables and a pop-up shop tour across Europe—though the UK may not be among the lucky stops this time. For those who love the lifestyle that Vespa embodies, this is a moment that celebrates both tradition and modernity.
