Vespa GTS 300 – Grand Touring, Perfected

The biggest Vespas have always combined great performance with the comfort to go further — from the GS of 1955 to the Rally of 1968 and the PX of 1978. The GTS 300 is the ultimate expression of that grand touring legacy, powered by the HPE (High Performance Engine) — the most powerful and responsive single-cylinder ever fitted to a Vespa. This is the scooter that goes beyond city limits without ever losing its soul.

Performance with Purpose

The GTS 300 is driven by a liquid-cooled 278cc HPE single-cylinder i-GET engine with port fuel injection and 4-stroke architecture, producing a commanding 17.5 kW at 8,250 rpm and 26 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm. That’s serious, usable power — enough to cruise confidently on highways, overtake with authority, and carry a passenger without breaking a sweat. The CVT automatic transmission with centrifugal dry clutch and vibration dampers ensures the power delivery is seamless, while Piaggio’s patented RISS Start & Stop system automatically switches the engine off at traffic lights and restarts it silently and instantly when you twist the throttle. With an 8.5-litre fuel tank, the GTS 300 is built for the long haul — not just the morning commute.

Rider-Focused Tech

The GTS 300’s 3-inch analogue LCD instrument panel pairs a classic analogue speedometer with a modern LCD display showing maximum and average speed, instantaneous and average consumption, range, and battery status. Keyless ignition comes standard — start the engine, open the seat, and lock the steering column, all with the remote in your pocket. The Bike Finder function flashes the indicators to locate your Vespa at a distance, while remote seat opening provides quick access to the underseat compartment. Vespa MIA connectivity is available as an accessory, linking your smartphone via Bluetooth for call, message, and music notifications on the dash. Full LED lighting front and rear delivers maximum visibility in all conditions.

Design: Aggression Meets Elegance

The GTS 300 wears the largest body in the Vespa family with unmistakable presence. Built on a sheet steel body with welded reinforcements, it’s wide, protective, and designed to handle everything from tight urban streets to open touring roads. Larger 12-inch wheels (120/70 front, 130/70 rear) and a double rear shock absorber setup with 4-position preload adjustment deliver a planted, composed ride, while twin 220mm stainless steel disc brakes front and rear with dual-channel ABS and ASR traction control provide class-leading stopping power and stability. At 1,980 mm long with a 790 mm seat height and generous passenger accommodation, the GTS 300 is a genuine two-up grand tourer that still turns heads parked outside a café.

Is It for You?

The Vespa GTS 300 is for experienced riders who want the full grand touring Vespa experience with no compromises. With 17.5 kW and 26 Nm on tap, it’s highway-capable, touring-ready, and powerful enough to handle any riding situation with ease. If your world extends beyond suburban streets — weekend coastal runs, cross-city commutes on fast roads, or two-up trips with genuine luggage — the GTS 300 delivers the performance, comfort, and Italian presence that no other scooter in the world can match.
