Vespa 946 Emporio Armani, 70th Anniversary launch delayed

We had earlier reported that Vespa will be launching the 946 Emporio Armani and the 70th Anniversary range of scooters in India on October 25, 2016. However, the two-wheeler manufacturer has now stated that the launch of the special edition Vespa scooters has been delayed. It will now take place in the early weeks of November. No specific reason behind the said delay has been notified.

The Vespa Emporio Armani is a very limited edition version of the regular 946 scooter. The company had earlier announced a limited run of just 3600 units of the Emporio Armani edition. It is still unclear how many examples of the said scooter will be brought to India. It gets a new paint shade, an unconventional seat design, full LED headlamp, LCD instrument panel, and safety features like ABS, Traction control, and double disc brakes.

Meanwhile, the 70th Anniversary Edition range, which was introduced on the occasion of Vespa's 70th birthday, comes with two new paint schemes: Azzurro 70 and Grigio 70. Other changes include grey wheels, dark leather wrapped seats, and a chromed rack at the rear.
