“With its design inspired by icy landscapes and the ethereal beauty of winter, the Vespa 946 Snake stands out for its iridescent blue livery in icy shades which pay homage to the purity and strength of snowy landscapes,” the company wrote in a press release.
“Woven into this glacial scenery is the inspiration of the snake, conveyed through the handlebar grips and saddle, modeled to recall the soft texture of the animal’s skin. The chrome-plated snake featuring on both the fuel cap and mudguard completes a design project that combines strength, grace, and originality,” it added.
Unique appointments
The Vespa 946 Snake comes with distinctive features that befits its limited edition status.

At the front fender is a three-dimensional snake emblem, which according to Vespa, symbolizes “sinuosity and elegance.” Similarly, a three-dimensional snake badge is also found on the scooter’s fuel cap.
The saddle too gets snake-inspired elements. The upholstery is adorned with a snake scale texture, which according to the Tuscany-headquartered brand captures “the spirit of adventure and sophistication.”

Finally, an additional passenger seat is mounted on the saddle — also with a snakeskin design.
The 12-inch wheels match the aesthetics of the Vespa 946 Snake, which comes in a similar hue as the scooter’s bodywork.
