Ever since the beginning, the Vespa's body has been made of steel. It's pressed steel monocoque chassis has always set the Vespa apart from any other mass-produced scooter. The advantages of this manufacturing tradition include sturdiness and high rigidity - as high as 250 percent more than a scooter with a tube frame and plastic body. Many of the world's leading automakers have only recently begun designing monocoque automobile frames to increase structural rigidity and performance.
