The Vespa GTS 300 was launched in 2008 as the Vespa GTS 300 Super and quickly became the most powerful model in the modern Vespa series. With its liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, electronic fuel injection and 278 cc displacement, it combined classic Vespa design with significantly more power and long-distance capability. The designation "GTS" stands for "Gran Turismo Sport" and refers to the claim of combining comfort, suitability for everyday use and sportier performance in a Vespa.

Model history Vespa GTS 300

The GTS series is based on the Vespa GT and was further developed technically and visually from the mid-2000s. In 2008, the GTS 300 Super brought the largest Vespa engine to date into series production and became the sporty spearhead of modern large-frame automatic models. Over the years, various variants such as the GTS Super, GTS SuperSport, GTS Touring and special models with their own colours, seats and equipment details followed.

In technical terms, the Vespa GTS 300 remained true to the classic concept with a self-supporting steel body and CVT automatic transmission, but was repeatedly given modern updates. Particularly important was the introduction of ABS and ASR traction control from 2014, which gave the GTS significantly more safety reserves. Further revisions followed later, including LED Light, modernised instruments, improved suspension and the more powerful HPE Engine. As a result, the GTS 300 remained the large, superior top model in the Vespa family for many years: classic in appearance, but technically ever closer to the modern premium scooter.
