Attention Vespa fans: With the new Vespa GTS 310, the cult scooter is writing another chapter in its almost 80-year success story. Never before has a Vespa been as powerful, dynamic and refined as this new model. With its brand new engine, which produces an impressive 25 hp from a displacement of 310 cc, the GTS 310 sets new standards in the world of two-wheelers. But the Vespa GTS 310 not only shines with technical superiority – it remains true to its iconic design and inspires with a unique combination of tradition and innovation.
More power, more riding fun: the new engine
At the heart of the GTS 310 beats the newly developed 310 cc engine, which is based on the proven 278 cc unit but contains over 70% new components. The extended stroke provides an increase in power and improved torque, making the Vespa GTS 310 a real powerhouse. Thanks to these improvements, acceleration is smooth and progressive, perfect for the dynamic demands of city traffic.
Even at low speeds, the engine delivers impressive thrust, while vibrations and noise levels have been reduced to a minimum. The new engine technology also meets the strict requirements of the EURO 5+ standard, which not only makes it more powerful, but also more environmentally friendly.
The Vespa GTS 310 in the test
Jesco from SIP put the GTS 310 on the test bench and tested the new Vespa’s performance. Here is the result of the test, for a more detailed analysis by Jesco, see the following blog post from SIP: “Vespa GTS 310 – now on the test bench”
Important: The power at the rear wheel is measured on the test bench. The factory specifications are based on the crankshaft output.
Design meets functionality
The Vespa GTS 310 remains visually true to its iconic heritage and combines classic lines with modern accents. Every detail has been designed with great care: From the LED round headlight and improved seating comfort to technical refinements such as the keyless system and a USB port in the glove compartment.
The steel frame, which traditionally also serves as the load-bearing chassis, offers unparalleled robustness and stability. Complemented by 12-inch tires and an optimized braking system with ABS and ASR, the GTS 310 is a reliable companion – whether in dense city traffic or on relaxed country road trips.
Three models, one unmistakable character
The Vespa GTS 310 is available in three different versions, each of which appeals to different lifestyles and rider preferences.
The classic GTS stands for timeless elegance. In the colors Beige Avvolgente, Nero Convinto and Verde Amabile, it embodies the authentic Vespa style with an explosion of metallic tones. Chrome-plated details – from the bodywork surround to the characteristic “tie” emblem and the hubcaps – underline its refined aesthetic. The grey seat with heat-sealed seams blends seamlessly into the design and emphasizes the high-quality look.
The GTS Super is the perfect choice for sporty riders. Inspired by legendary models such as the Vespa GS 150 (1955) and the Vespa 180 SS (1965), it combines nostalgia with a dynamic appearance. Graphite-colored diamond-cut rims, sporty details in black and eye-catching colors such as Bianco Innocente, Rosso Coraggioso or the metallic Nero Convinto give the GTS Super a youthful energy.
If you want even more excitement, opt for the GTS SuperSport, the ultimate sporty version. Its striking look is underlined by graphite-colored rims with individual graphics and black accents that extend to the body profile. Neon orange details, a seat with horizontal stitching and a choice of bold colors such as Blu Eclettico or Grigio Travolgente Opaco make the SuperSport a real eye-catcher. This version stands for bold design and maximum performance – ideal for anyone who wants to live out their Vespa lifestyle with a rebellious touch.
