The
new, strictly limited-edition Ape Calessino aims to capture the
atmosphere of sunny Mediterranean
afternoons, the scents of citrus and jasmine, the deep
blue sea of a beautiful bay.
The lines of its ’sixties style design bring back the
unforgettable charm of the Dolce Vita. The
Ape, an unrivalled icon of Italian style and a vehicle
with a unique personality of its own, pays homage to its
origins with a special limited edition version.
Only 999 of these vehicles will be available in the
world. The Ape Calessino is an essential for collectors
and lovers of Italian design, to rediscover the true
satisfaction of driving and enjoying your leisure time.
The folding top
and the four seats make the Ape Calessino flexible for a variety of
uses and situations, for enjoying life outdoors and seeing
the landscape go by from a different point of view.
Modern aesthetics and precious “yachting style” finishes
complete a vehicle meant to be enjoyed and driven with
pleasure.
A collector’s item, its exclusiveness underlined by a
numbered plate.
The
Piaggio-built Ape a
very special vehicle. Anyone could close their eyes and
imagine one. Its unique shape has run the length and breadth
of our country in time and space.
Speaking of Ape is like speaking of an Italian story, the
brainchild of a brilliant aeronautical engineer,
Corradino d'Ascanio, and the fruit of Enrico Piaggio’s
far-sightedness over half a century ago. An undying legend
that has gone through and somewhat punctuated the crucial
events of the history of Italy since the years after the
Second World War up to now.

Starting from
the very first Ape (1948) launched when
reconstruction was in full swing to Ape C in the
period of the economic boom in Italy to the futuristic
Ape Pentarò, with as many as 5 wheels, in the early
Sixties, to the Ape Car.
Then, the Ape TM designed in 1982 by Giorgetto Giugiaro
through to today’s models, such as the Ape Cross,
specially developed for the young. A long journey through
the lives of generations that has made the Ape extraordinarily
popular and deeply loved. Unique and unrivalled, the Ape has
remained faithful to itself, even through so many models and
never-ending changes, and is always ready to offer its
precious help without, as one might say in jest, ever taking
a day off.
