The GTS310 is equipped with the most powerful engine in Vespa history. Available in Verde Amabile color.

The current Vespa lineup consists of three body types: the small-body LX, the compact Primavera and Sprint, and the large-body GTS series. The large-body GTS lineup includes the 150, which is equipped with a water-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder SOHC 155cc engine, and the 300, which is equipped with a water-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder SOHC 278cc engine. The flagship GTS series now includes the GTS310, which is equipped with a new engine.

The new GTS310 engine is the most powerful and highest-performing in Vespa’s nearly 80-year history. Based on the liquid-cooled 278cc engine used in the previous 300, the new engine features over 70% new components and has been improved. The stroke has been increased from 63mm to 70mm, increasing displacement to 310cc. This increases maximum power by 25hp and torque. The longer stroke allows for instant torque delivery even at low speeds, resulting in powerful acceleration. Even when decelerating and then accelerating again, vibration and noise levels are even lower than the previous model. The new engine also features new injectors, an inclined cylinder, a new starting system, and a crankcase design that significantly reduces mechanical and drive belt noise, meeting Euro 5+ standards.

The basic style remains the same as the previous GTS300.

The GTS310 is available in three variations, the most classic version of which is available in three body colors: Beige Avolgente, Nero Convinto, and Verde Amabile. The seats are gray with tone-on-tone stitching.

The GTS Super adds a high level of sportiness, inheriting the tradition of previous sports models such as the GS150 in 1955, the 180SS in 1965, and the T5 Pole Position in 1985. It features diamond-finish Graphite Dawn rims and a double-cover seat with piping, and is available in three pastel colors: Bianco Innocent, Rosso Collaggioso, and metallic Nero Convinto.


GTS310SuperSport color is Blue Ecretico

The GTS SuperSport is the ultimate sports version of Vespa. It features graphite-colored rims with exclusive graphics, and all of the chrome-plated parts of the GTS, such as the body moldings and light rims, are painted black. The tie-shaped badge on the windshield has a carbon-look finish and striking fluorescent orange details. The seat is black, featuring horizontal heel-seat seams and fluorescent orange contrasting double stitching. This model is available in five different colors, each with its own specially designed graphics. It is available in glossy Blue Ecrettico and Bianco Innocent, as well as the matte colors Grigio Travolgente Opaco, Nero Convinto Opaco, and Verde Ambizioso Opaco.


If you select Vespa MIA, the meter panel will be changed to a color LCD.

A dedicated 36-liter top box in the same color as the body is available, and a wide range of accessories are also available, including luggage racks in chrome and black finishes. The introduction of the GTS310 also introduces the new Vespa Argentario helmet. Crafted from ABS material, the helmet features stylish chrome edges, a scratch-resistant main visor and inner visor, and a new ventilation system for comfort. The Vespa MIA connectivity system connects to iOS and Android mobile devices via Bluetooth. Connecting to the Vespa onboard system, incoming calls and messages are displayed on the Vespa display. You can manage calls using the joystick, make calls and play music using voice commands, and even view vehicle status and driving parameters on your smartphone using the app. (It is standard on the GTS310 SuperSport and available as an option on the rest of the GTS family.)

Prices in Italy are 7,199 euros for the GTS310, 7,299 euros for the GTS310 Super, and 7,499 euros for the GTS310 Super Sport.
