Vespa SS90 (1970) in Red (1:12 scale)
- A sporty Vespa: with a more powerful engine & enhanced aerodynamics, the Vespa 90 SS established itself in the mid sixties as a popular sports version in the Piaggio programme. The short cut stands for “ Super Sprint”. In fact the 90 SS is linked to the sporty heritage of the Vespa GS from 1955, because more & more Vespa riders wanted to drive sportive. The signature outlook was a slimmer cover in the front as well as a specially designed exhaust system for this model. The spare tyre was mounted in the access way. Above that was not the gas tank, but a luggage compartment with cushion, which allowed for a more sporty seating position. The 5.9 HP two stroke engine with round about 90 ccm & a weight of 80.5 kilograms allowed for a top speed of 95.2 kilometres per hour.
