Vespa 946 Emporio Armani:
The Vespa 946 Emporio Armani,
was developed jointly by Giorgio Armani and Piaggio to celebrate two of Italy’s
most established symbols of style and creativity. To mark the year 2015 – the
40th anniversary of the foundation of Giorgio Armani and the 130th birthday of
the Piaggio Group – Emporio Armani designed a special version of the Vespa 946.
In keeping with Armani’s signature subdued colour palette, the designer has
come up with a special combination of greys with subtle hints of green visible
only under particular light conditions for the project.
The name ‘Vespa 946’ alludes
to the year – 1946 – that this scooter, which has become popular around the
world, was first made. The design of the new Emporio Armani is a modern reinterpretation
of the original Vespa style. The metallic parts have been treated in order to
convey a matt effect in line with the body finishings.The words ‘Emporio
Armani’ appear on the side, while the iconic eagle logo of the
brand sits above the headlight.
The Vespa 946 Emporio Armani
is about technology as well as style. It comprises of aluminium cylinder
blocks, brown leather finishing, luxury accessories, electronic riding controls
which also interface with the latest internet devices. In addition, the
innovative four – stroke electronic injection engine, with enhanced fuel
