Vespa 946 Scooter From Piaggio Launching In June

The famous Italian scooter brand, Vespa by Piaggio is planning to launch their 946 Vespa in India this June. The scooter was first displayed at the Auto Expo held in Greater Noida, New Delhi during the month of February.

We expect the Vespa 946 to cost INR 8 to 9 lakh in India. The scooter is expected to justify the price tag with its styling and exclusivity. The scooter will not be made in India and will come via the CBU route, from the Italian facility.

Piaggio calls their Vespa the 946, and most may think it has a huge engine under the skin. The scooter however, doesn't have a 946cc engine, but instead features a 125cc four-stroke mill. It will feature fuel injection and will produce 10.3 Nm of peak torque along with 11.7 horsepower.

Piaggio will sculpt the Vespa 946 on an aluminium monocoque structure for weight saving. It will also sport an automatic CVT transmission for smooth riding.

The Vespa 946 will also have a bunch of safety features like ABS as standard with front and rear disc brakes for superior braking. It will also sport ASR traction control system.

Piaggio will add loads of curves and smooth flowing lines to the Vespa 946. You can bet the scooter will be a definite head turner. The attention to detail is evident even in the single piece seat.

The Vespa 946 will get an all digital dashboard, and will display various key information of the scooter. All lighting on the scooter will be LED fixtures.

Piaggio has recently launched the Vespa S in India along with their current offering of Vespa LX and Vespa VX. We will have to wait and see how many people would want to own an Italian masterpiece from Piaggio. The Vespa 946 is a definite buy for those who can afford and love the Italian brand.
