In addition, it comes with modern touches, such as front and rear brake discs, for a higher level of safety, and a modern suspension system, which make for a more agile and plush ride.

The 2011 MY Vespa GTV 300 sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 278cc, single cylinder Quasar lump paired to a continuous variable transmission, and can produce 22 horsepower and 20 Nm of torque. It is one of the most powerful Vespas on the market, and can take on the roles of a daily commuter, and even weekend outings, thanks to a 80 mph max speed, front and rear luggage rack, and the two-up seat with a storage compartment beneath it.
In the aesthetics department, it has been designed as a tribute to the 50's and 60's Vespa scooters, in order to celebrate more than 60 years of Vespa production. In addition, it has its headlight mounted on the front mudguard, exactly like a classic Vespa.
