The Sport Special Edition of the Vespa embodies the values of style, comfort, safety and sportiness of the most widely spread scooter in the world while citing legendary models such as the 1955 Vespa GS 150, the 1965 180 SS and the T5 “Pole Position” from 1985.
Even sportier and more aggressive today, the Vespa GTS SuperSport and Vespa S Sport are objects of pure desire.
Since its earliest days, there have always been sports versions of the Vespa, which were frequently used in both circuit racing and in major off-road competitions. The Sport versions of the Vespa GTS Super and Vespa S offer a modern interpretation of this extraordinary competition heritage, which has written unforgettable chapters in Vespa history.
The Vespa Sport special edition is recognisable at first glance by a few distinctive and common characteristics such as the Vespa badge and the "S" on the front shield of the GTS Super.
The burnished "Sport" plates on the S Sport and "Super Sport" on the GTS Super leg shield back plates, make this special edition stand out even more.
The suspension gains a distinctive racing red finish for the front spring, a motorsports detail that makes the front view of the Vespa GTS Super and Vespa S even more aggressive. An aggressive front cowl emphasises the sporty character of the Sport edition Vespas.
Vespa S Sport
Vespa S Sport brings out the sport spirit of Vespa with strictly minimalist aesthetics which, thanks to its small body, are reminiscent of the 1970s circa models. The simple yet eye-catching livery of the Vespa S Sport emphasises its clean, restrained forms.
The dedicated graphics and the saddle, single seat for the 50 version, with white piping and thermobonding, convey a further sporty touch. The black wheels rims enhance the Vespa S Sport's essential elegance even more, now sporting the bold new Nero Abisso colouring.
Vespa GTS SuperSport
The Vespa GTS SuperSport is a blend of distinctiveness and character, as well as sportiness and performance. The 300 electronic injection engine brings out maximum aggressiveness, whether in the city or on country roads. The dedicated graphics and the sport saddle with white piping and thermobonding complete the sporty look of the Vespa GTS SuperSport.
The shield, the steel essence of the Vespa, is distinguished by a "score" of personality: the right hand side now sports a large grille with horizontal slots – a clear reference to the most stylish Vespas of the past – which gives a marked sporty touch to the side view of the vehicle.
Vespa GTS SuperSport is available in the 300 and 125 cc engine versions, both with electronic injection. Vespa S Sport è is available in a wide range of engines including: 50 2-stroke, 50 4-stroke 4v, 125 and 150 cc.
