Power. The 4-stroke 4-valve 200cc engine is liquid-cooled and remarkably powerful. The L.E.AD.E.R. (Low Emissions ADvanced Engine Range) engine has the power to pull away from almost any kind of traffic you encounter. The Granturismo's exceptionally low levels of air and noise pollution well exceed the standards being considered in Europe and America many years from now. Style. With its chrome mirrors and classic Vespa lines, the Granturismo is a thoroughly modern scooter true to its heritage. On the Granturismo you find the kinds of touches that have made Vespa world-famous: pressed steel monocoque chassis, 5-spoke die-cast alloy wheels, chrome retractable passenger footrests, and a classic floorboard design. And the Granturismo shines in the evening: the vintage-style dashboard lights up blue for excellent night-time visibility, and the halogen headlamp provides plenty of illumination. Comfort. With it's wide double-stitched seat the Granturismo has comfort to spare. Storage? How about room for two open face helmets under the seat and a spacious glove compartment. There's plenty of room to run errands and bring a passenger along with you. And the ride is smoother than ever before thanks to dual rear shock absorbers, 12" wheels, and front and rear 220mm hydraulic disc brakes. Accessories. Along with the best scooter available, comes the best accessories. The matching-color top case is spacious enough for a couple bags of groceries and has a luxurious padded backrest for your passenger. Contact your local Vespa dealer to check on the availability of the top case and other fine Granturismo accessories such as windscreens and helmets.

About Vespa
 Vespa's timeless design comes from an equally timeless company - Piaggio has been a distinguished innovator in the field of transportation for nearly 120 years. Piaggio was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1884 by twenty-year-old Rinaldo Piaggio. Rinaldo's business began with luxury ship fitting. But by the end of the century, Piaggio was also producing rail carriages, luxury coaches, truck bodies, engines, and trains. Vespa has lived on from one generation to the next, subtly modifying its image each time. The first Vespa offered mobility to everyone. Then, it became the two-wheeler of the post war economic boom. During the sixties and seventies, the vehicle became a symbol for the revolutionary ideas of the time. Advertising campaigns like "He Who Vespas, eats the apple", and films such as Quadrophenia have symbolized eras in our history. And the story continues today with the new generation of Vespa models, which range from the Granturismo and Granturismo Sport (GTS), the largest and most powerful Vespas, to the LX, the latest restyling of the classic Vespa design. Also check out the new vintage-inspired Vespas, the GTV and LXV, and the limited edition GT60. Vespa is not just a scooter. It is one of the great icons of Italian style and elegance, and with more than 16 million units produced, is well known throughout the world. For more than 60 years, Vespa has fascinated millions of people and given the world an irreplaceable icon of Italian style and a means of personal transport that has become synonymous with freedom.
