New Delhi: To commemorate the brand’s 80th anniversary, Vespa released the Tech 80th special edition in India. The commemorative edition, which comes in two 125 cc and 150 cc models, draws influence from the 1946 original Vespa by fusing current gear with a nostalgic aesthetic.
Inspired by early Vespa models from the late 1940s, the Tech 80th edition has a unique Verde Pastello green color. The front shield trim, mirrors, grab handle, switchgear, and front suspension linkage are just a few of the components that use this color. Additionally, the handle, handles, footrest inserts, and seat all have contrasting deeper green components.

The wheels, which are finished in the same shade of green and have a diamond-cut look, are designed to mirror those on the original Vespa 98, further reinforcing the historical concept. The scooter has the Vespa emblem and the “80th” badge up front and a unique “80 years of Vespa Est. 1946” insignia on the back.
The Tech 80th edition is built on Vespa’s current platform and retains modern features and underpinnings from the normal line, despite its retro look. In India, it will be available in both 125 cc and 150 cc configurations. For comparison, the smaller air-cooled, single-cylinder, 124.4 cc engine produces 10.1 Nm of torque and 9.5 horsepower.
The larger single-cylinder, air-cooled 149.5cc engine generates 11.4 horsepower and 11.6 Nm. The price has not yet been disclosed, but it is probably going to be next week.
