The Vespa 946 Dragon made its debut at an event in Hong Kong shortly after its global unveiling by Piaggio. This event brought together renowned artists and celebrities from across Asia, including Vietnam.
The scooter was showcased inside a creatively designed container, with a prominent green tone that also accentuates the 946 Dragon’s aesthetic. The most striking feature of the Vespa 946 Dragon is the hand-painted dragon artwork on the front shield, seamlessly continuing to the rear with the dragon’s body. Notably, this artistic depiction is only visible on the left side, while the right side sports a distinctive number plate.
Like its predecessors in the Vespa 946 series, the Dragon edition is powered by a 155 cc single-cylinder engine, delivering 12.7 horsepower and a maximum torque of 12.8 Nm.
According to Vespa, the 946 Dragon is expected to arrive in Vietnam as early as April this year. With a limited global production run of only 1,888 units, the Vespa 946 Dragon is anticipated to carry a price tag exceeding VND 1 billion in the Vietnamese market.

Prior to the Dragon edition, other special iterations of the Vespa 946, such as the 10 Anniversario 2023, Christian Dior, Emporio Armani, and Bellissima, have also made their way to Vietnam. It’s fair to say that Vespa and Piaggio seem to be running out of creative steam when it comes to their newest offerings. The scooters remain largely unchanged, adorned with artistic flourishes inspired by the Chinese zodiac to appeal primarily to collectors.
Aside from the Vespa 946, Piaggio has recently offered scant few new options for enthusiasts of the Italian brand. Devotees are instead seeking out older models like the Vespa PX, while newer iterations fail to captivate in the same manner.
