It’s kind of like saying “powered sailboat” or “mandatory volunteer work.” Scooters, after all, are the basic transportation of our powered two-wheeled world, a half-step up from a bicycle. Making a limited-edition, luxury version that costs three times competing models might seem an odd choice, like a limousine converted from a PT Cruiser. How nice could it be, really?
Well, it’s not for everybody – which is why Vespa made just 3600 of the special 946 models for the 2014 model year. Vespa knows you’ll roll your eyes, shake your head and maybe even spray some spittle on your iPad when you see that a 155cc scooter broaches five figures ( $10, 499, if you’re crass enough to ask the price of things) – the most expensive Vespa ever – but the company didn’t build the 946 to corner the market on 150s. Instead, it’s a rolling artwork that may forever cement Vespa’s place in history as the builder of the most stylish and desirable scooters of all time. And it’s too late to dig up the rusty corpse of Lambretta to challenge it.
