Lego - The Vespa 125 is now available as a LEGO replica

By Mulder, 22 february 2022

Experience authentic Italian style with the new LEGO® Vespa 125 model, inspired by the famous Vespa Piaggio. Worthy of display, this elegant 1106-piece set will appeal to style lovers who will savor every moment of the build as a return to the past. 

The new LEGO model pays homage to the original Vespa in its pastel blue color - that of the first model of this iconic scooter. Symbols of this past heritage, the typical Italian license plate from the 1960s and the Vespa logo will delight enthusiasts. 
 
With its careful details and elegant design, the replica is just like the original. With its bouquet of flowers in the basket, spare wheel, removable engine cover, brick engine, kickstand and functional handlebars, this model can be proudly displayed in your home or office as a personal tribute to this ever-popular Italian style icon.

"Working with the Vespa team to create this beautiful vehicle was an incredible experience. What I particularly enjoyed about designing this replica was recreating the details of the original model to highlight the classic Vespa of the 1960s. This project took me back in time and allowed me to let my imagination run wild. This is the experience we want to offer to enthusiasts," said Florian Muller, Senior Designer at the LEGO Group.

Marco Lambri, Director of the Piaggio Group Design Center, added: "Working with the LEGO Group has been an exceptional experience because we have brought together two great names - LEGO and Vespa - that have in common the same possibility of unlimited expression. Two intergenerational brands that have always been able to reinvent themselves thanks to their ability to federate and create, which is inscribed in their DNA. As designers, our main challenge was to reconcile the angular LEGO bricks with the rounded shapes of the Vespa - a challenge I think we met with flying colors."

The LEGO Vespa 125 model will be available on LEGO.com, in LEGO stores and at other retailers worldwide from March 1 for 99.99 euros.
