Guys, with the way the petrol price is going, we’re going to need to start looking at alternate forms of transportation.

It’s a good thing, then, that Vespa is staying ahead of the times.

They’ve unveiled their fastest and most powerful scooter ever, the 2019 Vespa GTS 300, which has now rolled out across Europe.

The GTS 300 was unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan, and Piaggio had announced that an updated Vespa GTS 300 line-up will be introduced with a High-Performance Engine (HPE), reports Car and Bike.

You can take a closer look at the details here, in this silent, yet informative, video:

The Vespa GTS 300 is powered by a 278 cc, single-cylinder engine which puts out 23,8 bhp and 26 Nm of peak torque.

Updates to the engine include new pistons and cylinders which are said to improve the engine combustion chamber’s efficiency and increase the horsepower by 12 per cent and torque by 18 per cent.

According to Piaggio, while performance has improved on the Vespa GTS 300, it’s more fuel efficient than before. The engine also meets the latest emission regulations, and is Euro 4 and Euro 5 compliant, and comes with standard traction control.

Fuel efficiency is something that all Vespas have in common. Whilst this particular model is only available in Europe at the moment, you can still get your hands on a beautiful, petrol-saving Vespa here at home.
