Sophisticated materials and customized elements have resulted in a unique, limited-edition product that will surely be a landmark in Vespa history. The Vespa's own history has directed every design choice. Cleverly re-interpreting some of the typical design and technical elements of vintage Vespas, particularly the earliest models of the 1940s and 1950s, this one-off vehicle evokes the romantic, timeless appeal of the Vespa. Uniting the past with the present, the GT60 combines a modern engine with vintage Vespa details for a classic vehicle made even more special with its limited production. Developed on the base of the Vespa GTS, the Vespa GT60 pays homage to the original scooter: the 1946 Vespa, the "98 model" that started off a unique history and forever changed personal transport, symbolizing freedom for generations. The performance, however, is purely modern. Utilizing the powerful engine of the GTS, the GT60 boasts a 250cc four-valve, liquid-cooled engine with electronic injection, a double rear shock absorber and 12" wheels stopped by two disk brakes. The look may say vintage Vespa, but the ride reflects all of the technological advancements that Vespa has made since its inception. Underneath the classic steel body resides a modern engine, but the heart of the GT60 lies in its details. The headlamp is on the front mudguard, as it was on the very first Vespa prototype, exactly as the original Vespa designer, Corradino D'Ascanio, had positioned it. A similar change has been made to the handlebar, a simple, visible metal tube as on the very first Vespa prototype - a clearly motorcycle and bicycle derived choice that could be seen on all early Vespas. The saddle has also been retro-designed. The Vespa started out as a single-seater that could be changed into a two-seater. The GT60 pays homage to the two-seater and is split into two distinct parts, one for the rider and one for the passenger. Upholstered in black leather exactly like the 1946 version, with stylish visible stitching, re-emphasizes the attention to detail and skills of Italian leather craftsmen. Even the paint color was chosen with care: The color is an exact replica of the first gray used on the original model - named Gray 725.
