Modern Vespa

Ok,
You are an engineer for Vespa and have been called into your boss's office. He has heard back from the sales force that the dealers want the S150 to be "hotter" than it currently is. You have been directed to make it happen.

Here are the rules;
1. Use the same body and headlight as the current S150
2. No water cooling
3. Use available parts even if they are from third parties
4. Keep the price point close to where it is
5. Establish it as the performance model
6. Have it finished by Jan 2010

What do you do ?

definetly more good quality paint

I'd put an R (you know, for race) in the name and add a red stripe somewhere.

In 2012 release the RR model. Extra red stripe.

3. Use available parts even if they are from third parties
5. Establish it as the performance model

Well, the 2010 LX 150 is getting fuel injection, so...

make 999 of them.

Hmmm, sounding alot like my LX

Ok, this is the model to beat! Let's hear what you can do.

you forgot the big ol sticker that sez 'not available in california'

make the ride lower and put a new style 180cc motor in it. (or factory tune a 150cc to 180cc) and call it the 180ss....kinda bring back the retro thing.

Or do the 90SS thing and put a dummy tank on it and a spare tire holder.

Give them magical powers!

hopefully the magical powers will magiclly lower the price to around the same.....

Some black/aluminum rims like the 300GTS would be nice as well.
