2012 Vespa GTV300 Vie della Moda Review

2012 Vespa GTV300 Vie della Moda

The headlight mounted on the front mudguard of the GTV is a clear reference to the origins of the Vespa. And so is the handlebar, the simple exposed metal tube of the earliest Vespas that now reappears on the Vespa GTV “Vie della Moda”, and echoes the trend seen in today’s motorcycles.

The two-seat saddle in eco-leather is elegant and comfortable, and as on the original Vespas, is split into two separate elements, while the precision crafted piping emphasises its silhouette. The particular colouring of the saddle is realised with elegant covering colour-coded with the vehicle in the refined “Marrone Etna”, the exclusive colour of the Vespa GTV “Vie della Moda”. The chrome finished, five spoke wheels further enhance one of the most elegant Vespas of all times.

Vespa symbolises style, fashion and distinction, these characteristics are emphasised in the new Vespa Vintage GTV Vie Della Moda.  The GTV 300 “Vie della Moda” is offered in a luxurious new “Rosso Chianti” colour.  The rear chrome luggage rack, the co-ordinating eco-leather dual seat and chrome finish wheels compliment the feel of exclusivity from the GTV.

 

 

 

2012 Vespa GTV300 Vie della Moda Model Highlights

VESPA “VIE DELLA MODA” SPECIAL EDITION

Vespa, the emblem of style, fashion and distinction, dedicates an exclusive collection of unique pieces to the most famous and glamorous fashion runways: Vespa GTV and Vespa LXV, the most prestigious vehicles in the range. New models which for 2012 dress up in the elegant “Marrone Etna” colour which enhances the timeless lines.

Vespa GTV and Vespa LXV “Vie della Moda” stand out for refinement: In their forms and functions, these new versions reinterpret the hallmark elements of 1950’s and 60’s style.

Powered by an ultra-modern and powerful 300 cc liquid cooled 4-stroke 4 valve engine or a scintillating 125 cc, 4-stroke powerplant – both of which with electronic injection and Euro3 compliant – the Vespa GTV and Vespa LXV “Vie della Moda” offer unrivalled flexibility and responsiveness thanks to the use of fuel injection, which also significantly curbs fuel consumption and both gas and sound emissions.

The “Vie della Moda” badge, inspired by the most famous street signs in the world’s glamour capitals, identifies the most elegant Vespas of all and, emblazoned on the shield back plate, instantly highlights the uniqueness of these alluring models.
