2013 Vespa GTV 300ie Review
2013 Vespa GTV 300ie
Storage and vintage looks with modern technology…
The Vespa GTV 300 i.e. stands out for refinement: in its forms and functions, reinterpreting the hallmark elements of 1950’s and 60’s Vespa models.
The headlight mounted on the front mudguard of the GTV 300 i.e. is a reference to some of the first Vespas to come off the production line in Pontedera, Italy. The handlebar is a reference to the past as well – it is the same exposed metal tube seen on the earliest Vespas that now appears on the Vespa GTV 300 i.e. The two-seat saddle in eco-leather is elegant and comfortable, and as on the original Vespas, is split into two separate seats, while the precision crafted piping emphasizes its silhouette.
Powered by a modern and powerful 300cc liquid cooled four-stroke four-valve engine, the Vespa GTV 300 i.e. offers unrivalled flexibility and responsiveness due to the use of fuel injection, which also significantly lowers fuel consumption and emissions.
Vintage Style, Powerful.
