Vespa 946 “Horse Edition” Scooter Officially Revealed

Over the years, Vespa has introduced special edition models that are based on its 946 scooter, some in conjunction with the Chinese Zodiac signs for each year. In 2026, being the year of the horse, the Italian scooter maker has revealed the special Vespa 946 Horse.

Vespa’s lunar collection consists of special edition models pays the tribute to symbols of years gone by, Dragon and Snake, namely. Since 2026 is the year of the horse, what Vespa has done is reveal the special edition that it claims embodies some traits of that animal – regal, dynamic and symbol of resilience – to quote the company.

The Vespa 946 Horse edition has been distinguished by its bay colour, a deep brown shade that the company says recalls the glossy, dark coat of a horse. The handcrafted seat is made out of leather and has been inspired by equestrian tack, fancy speak for saddle seen on horses and has a V monogram stamped at the centre of the horseshoe beneath. Even the handlebars, as well as rear-view mirrors, have premium leather trims just to reinforce the entire horse theme.

There are a couple of accessories available too, a small rear bag made out of the same leather as the scooter’s seat, a small, lightly smoked windshield for those who prefer that look and lastly, a colour-matched three-quarter helmet with the 3D gold V logo. Vespa says this 946 Horse Edition scooter is going to be a limited edition model, but the literature doesn’t specify exactly how many units are going to be built. For instance, only 1888 units of the Vespa 946 Dragon edition were built.
