Vespa 946 Emporio Armani was launched in the country in November last year at Rs. 12.05 lakh
Piaggio India has discontinued the Vespa 946 Emporio Armani scooter in India that was launched as a special edition model last year. The scooter was launched in November 2016 at a price tag of Rs. 12.05 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune). It was introduced to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the Piaggio Group and 40th birthday of Giorgio Armani Foundation.
The discontinuation can be justified as Piaggio India termed it as a collector’s edition model. However, the premium scooter couldn’t find much takers. Now, as the Piaggio-Armani contract has ended, the scooter is discontinued. This has been the most expensive scooter in the domestic market and it was launched alongside Vespa 70th Anniversary Edition scooter.
