Vespa has added another special model to its 946 line with the global reveal of the Vespa 946 Horse limited-edition scooter. Built around the Year of the Horse theme, this model continues Vespa’s approach of turning the 946 into a collector-focused machine rather than a regular road scooter. It keeps the same iconic body shape but brings in fresh visual details aimed at riders who care about design as much as the ride itself. The 946 Horse sits closer to a showcase model, created to be noticed whether parked outside a café or displayed indoors.

The design of the Vespa 946 Horse leans heavily into its theme. The scooter comes finished in a bay brown shade, giving it a look that feels controlled and deliberate. Gold-tone highlights appear across the bodywork, adding contrast without breaking the clean lines of the 946. Beneath the seat sits a V-shaped monogram placed within a horseshoe layout, tying the entire visual package together.
Look closer and the details begin to do the talking. Vespa has used handcrafted Italian leather across the saddle, handlebar grips and mirror trims. The material choice reflects traditional riding gear, adding texture rather than flash. It keeps the scooter looking focused, with every element appearing to have a clear purpose.
To complete the package, Vespa has introduced a matching set of accessories for the 946 Horse. This includes a rear-mounted leather bag finished in the same material as the seat, along with a windshield supported by aluminium brackets. A jet-style helmet with a gold V emblem also forms part of the collection, giving owners a full setup that mirrors the scooter’s identity.
Mechanically, the Vespa 946 Horse stays close to the standard model. It is expected to use the familiar 125cc single-cylinder engine producing around 11.4bhp, supported by the same braking and suspension layout seen on earlier versions. Pre-orders opened on 26 January through Vespa’s official website and its Milan retail space, while pricing and broader market plans remain under wraps.
