The new Vespa GTS has made its debut on the global market with a larger 310cc liquid-cooled engine (a longer-stroke derivative of the former 278cc High-Performance Engine). The new powerplant contains more than 70% new components, resulting in higher performance. For example, the stroke of a single-cylinder now stands at 70mm, a bit higher than the previous 63mm. This raises displacement from 278cc to 310cc and output to 25bhp at 7,750rpm.
The new Euro 5+ engine is more efficient, resulting in lower fuel consumption and pollutants. Other powertrain modifications include injectors, cylinder inclination, starting system, and crankcase design. With all these enhancements, the GTS 310 is the most powerful Vespa ever.

Design-wise, the Vespa GTS 310 exudes a classic vibe. It features an elegantly designed front apron, protruding side panels, and a tidy tail section. The scooter has two variants: GTS Super and GTS SuperSport. These models set themselves apart with seats and wheel colours graphics.
Two-wheelers have evolved significantly in recent years, and the Vespa is no different. The new GTS 310 sports an electronic traction control system for the rear wheel and ABS brakes on both wheels. It has LED lights and a USB port. Moreover, there are options for front fender protection, a heated seat, heated grips, and a rear luggage rack.
Piaggio Group at EICMA 2024
Piaggio Group was the main attraction at EICMA this year, with a variety of new additions across all brands. April unveiled the eagerly anticipated Aprilia Tuono 457, updated RS 660, and the new RS 660 Factory at the event. The Tuono 457 is a street-naked derivative of the RS 457, which is currently on sale in India for Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom). It features two colour options (Puma Gray and Piranha Red), a split headlamp design, and boomerang-shaped LED DRLs. To match the overall streamlined and muscular look, tank extensions are used in place of the RS 457's fairing. Other features include rearset footpegs, a two-piece seat, and an underbelly exhaust.
