Vespa Officina 8: A New Era of Craftsmanship

Vespa Officina 8

Vespa has introduced a stunning new chapter in its heritage with the Vespa Officina 8 edition, blending tradition with modern craftsmanship. This special edition honors the legendary Officina 8, Piaggio’s experimental division from the 1940s, where the original Vespa was first imagined and created.

Inspired by the Original Vespa Workshop

The original Officina 8 in Pontedera, Italy, was a hub of innovation. Post-WWII, this department gathered aeronautical engineers, draftsmen, and test riders who created some of the most historic Vespa models. The new Vespa Officina 8 series revives that pioneering spirit.

This exclusive edition includes the Vespa Primavera (available in 50, 125, and 150 cc variants) and the high-performance Vespa GTV 310, which features retro styling with a low headlamp and exposed handlebars.

Industrial Elegance: Blu Officina 8 and Premium Details

A notable feature of the Vespa Officina 8 is its special Blu Officina 8 finish — a matte metallic blue that evokes the tough, utilitarian charm of classic workshops. Further, it contrasts beautifully with satin-finish aluminum and brass details across the shield, light surrounds, and wheel rims.

Both the Primavera and GTV feature custom design cues such as diamond-cut wheels, brass-accented steering grilles, and dual-stitched seats. The GTV also comes with a rigid body-coloured fairing for added sporty flair.

Vespa Officina 8 Accessories and Apparel Collection

Complementing the scooter’s design is a full range of Vespa Officina 8 accessories and riding apparel. These include:

  • A matte blue top box and backrest.
  • A dual-visor jet helmet with Officina 8 branding.
  • Protective riding gloves with touchscreen compatibility.
  • A technical windbreaker, hoodie, and graphic T-shirt with the Officina 8 symbol.
  • A drawstring sport bag and signature key ring.

The apparel collection is designed with industrial-inspired graphics and functional materials, perfect for Vespa enthusiasts who value both performance and style.

Exclusive Welcome Kit for Collectors

Each Vespa Officina 8 scooter also comes with an exclusive welcome kit. This includes a collector’s tin and a historical Owner’s Book talking about the legacy of Piaggio’s experimental workshop — a true nod to Vespa’s engineering legacy.
