GTS 300ie Super Sport
Color :
The Super Sport Special Edition of the Vespa embodies the values of style, comfort, safety and sportiness of the most widely spread scooter in the world while citing legendary models such as the 1955 Vespa GS 150, the 1965 180 SS and the T5 “Pole Position” from 1985. Even sportier and more aggressive today, the Vespa GTS Super Sport is an object of pure desire.
Since its earliest days, there have always been sports versions of the Vespa, which were frequently used in both circuit racing and in major off-road competitions. The Sport version of the Vespa GTS Super offers a modern interpretation of this extraordinary competition heritage, which has written unforgettable chapters in Vespa history.
The Vespa Sport special edition is recognisable at first glance by a few distinctive and common characteristics such as the Vespa badge and the “S” on the front shield. The burnished “Super Sport” on the leg shield back plate, makes this special edition stand out even more.
The suspension gains a distinctive racing red finish for the front spring, a motorsports detail that makes the front view of the Vespa GTS Super even more aggressive. An aggressive front cowl emphasises the sporty character.
The Vespa GTS Super Sport is a blend of distinctiveness and character, as well as sportiness and performance. The 300 electronic injection engine brings out maximum aggressiveness, whether in the city or on country roads. The dedicated graphics and the sport saddle with white piping and thermobonding complete the sporty look of the Vespa GTS Super Sport.
The body, in steel, is the essence of the Vespa, and is distinguished by a “score” of personality: the right hand side now sports a large grille with horizontal slots – a clear reference to the most stylish Vespas of the past and gives a marked sporty touch to the side view of the vehicle. For 2012 the colour is Orange.
