Technological innovation and excellent performance, even from the viewpoint of maximum environmental protection, also inspire the latest arrival in the new generation of the world's most famous, best-selling scooter, the Vespa ET4 cento50. Although the Vespa ET4 cento50 retains the styling of smaller engine versions, it has been refined by new styling elements: chrome mouldings on the sides which follow the soft lines of the body, white indicator lights with yellow bulbs which blend with the chrome finish, the "cento50" logo identifying the engine positioned beside the Vespa trademark on the cowling. The launch for the Vespa ET4 cento50 coincided with the launch of a new family of four-stroke engines developed by Piaggio's Engine Division. Technology and respect for the environment are evident, starting from the name of this range of engines, known by the acronym LEADER, for Low Emission ADvanced Engine Range. The Vespa ET4 cento50 comes in a wide range of colours which highlight its elegance and strong character. The pastel shades are Black, Hippy Red and Capodimonte White, while metallic shades are Moonlight Grey, Lavender, Cobalt Blue and Enigma Green, plus Garnet Red which is unique to the ET4 cento50. A new Vespa generation: all the appeal of the legend, plus state-of-the-art technology Fifty-three years after the launch of the first model, the Vespa continues to be a part of today's lifestyles and occupies the highest positions in the sales leagues. The Vespa ET4 125, the first Vespa to be powered by a four-stroke engine, was launched in 1997, and in 1998 led European sales for over 50 cc two-wheeled vehicles, including motorcycles. The dynamic town dweller of the 21st century, looking for outstanding agility and comfort in town, combined with excellent handling and practicality, will choose the Vespa ET2 with a 50 cc engine. Those intending to travel longer distances, perhaps with a passenger, and want higher performance, will go for the Vespa ET4 125, which was joined in May 1999 by the brand new Vespa ET4 150 powered by the new Piaggio "Leader" four-stroke engine, an extremely quiet unit with a very low environmental impact. The new generation Vespas are fitted with CVT automatic transmission with centrifugal variable advance; electric starting is standard equipment, but the traditional kick starter has been kept on for emergencies. 全新的Vespa ET4 cento50 採用全新設計的四行程引擎增加效率低污染，汽缸為150cc加大馬力，並 採用CVT無段自動變速，騎乘更有力順暢媲美1955年Vespa GS 150，將在2000年進入市場大賣，希望台 灣也能引進，造型沒多大的變化和舊款一樣，細節做了番改款例如透明方向燈殼及黑色後視鏡等 ，顏色也偏較重的色系，例如棗紅、海藍等，整體來講酷多了。
