Unlike Japanese automakers, it can be said that European automakers only change the color scheme and change the livery to announce it as a new car, and release it in limited quantities. In addition to the familiar straddle brand, the Italian Vespa in the pedal field is notoriously ruthless. You'll remember the Vespa 946 Year of the Rabbit Limited Edition, which was launched last year, and now the Year of the Dragon Limited Edition is ready to be officially unveiled on January 24th.
The ancient Chinese mascot that wants to compete for eternity and supremacy, the dragon, has also descended on the Italian brand this time. According to the Piaggio Group, the Vespa 946 Dragon, which is full of oriental flavor, is sold in a limited edition of 1,888 units and is handmade in Italian factories, expressing its mysterious artistic and humanistic characteristics to the highest quality.
Perhaps because of the blueprints, it doesn't seem obvious, but it is officially mentioned that this time the Vespa 946 Dragon has a large amount of gold paint on the body, symbolizing the mythical nature of the dragon and the supremacy of the emperor.
Compared to last year's Rabbit 946, the Vespa 946 Dragon is painted in the same colour as the frame itself, as well as the mirror brackets, the trunk racks, and even the rubber grips and seat cushions.
If you take a closer look, you really feel that the dragon on the front of the car looks like a dragon tattoo!
The fittings, gauges, engine system, etc. of the vehicle itself have not been altered. Inspired by the old Vespa MP6 classic, the 946 is already so sophisticated that it doesn't need to be repainted.
In addition to the vehicle itself, the original boutique has also launched a dragon-themed helmet as the best choice for knights.
As well as exclusive wheel frames, rear trunk accessories and double seat cushions, etc., can allow the rider to enjoy the eyes of the crowd and have further practical performance.
In addition to the car itself, Vespa's usual clothing accessories are also featured in this game, and the Dragon Varsity jacket is made of light beige fleece soft Nappa leather fabric, and embroidered with an emerald green dragon pattern on the pockets and back.
In fact, at the beginning of the 946's release, its unique design and outstanding price made it unique in the scooter world. After many years, related co-branded and limited edition styles emerge in an endless stream, I believe you can start to look forward to next year's snake 946!
