Engine displacement
In 2019, Vespa released an updated version of the GTS, the Vespa 300i GTS HPE. The main change for this update was a new High Performance Engine (HPE) with 24 HP (17.5kW) at 8,250 rpm and 26 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm. Engine displacement remained the same at 278 cc. The new engine can be recognized by the smooth cover on the left and the oil dipstick on the right. Gearbox oil dipstick remains on the left rear. In terms of styling, the front of the scooter has significantly changed. The bodywork has a more noticeable line below the daylight running lights. Also the 'tie' has now been extended to the full length of the front. Rear styling remains the same. The scooter now has full LED lights, daytime running lights and indicators in the front, and a revised rear light.
