At first glance, the Sei Giorni is just another Vespa.

It's got a familiar profile, aside from that fender-mounted headlight.

It's not only a limited-edition throwback to Vespa's race-winning history...

It's also the most powerful Vespa ever.

The Sei Giorni will easily hit 80 mph on the freeway.

It has no issue pulling away from traffic in the city.

Thanks to its two-channel antilock brakes, it also stops surprisingly well.

Frankly, it's way more fun than it should be.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
