Vespa GTS 500Many

GTS riders dream of a Vespa GTS 500. An Italian engineer put some serious thought into it and visualized a 500cc version of the GTS. The YouTube video is very well done. Every year, the community speculates whether Piaggio will release it, but now Björn Dressler from Berlin has beaten them to it. With his project "La Mutata," Björn legally brings his custom builds to the streets with up to 44 hp and 492 cc displacement. Before you reach for your wallet: this conversion isn't something to do on a whim! It takes about 4 months and costs more than most people carry in their wallet - starting at 15,000 euros. Marc from Scooteria presents the project "La Mutata," a custom Vespa GTS 500, in his latest video.

La Mutata Vespa GTSThe

conversion of a Vespa GTS to a 500cc Piaggio engine with German road approval and at least 39 hp! Italian for "The Mutated" - this gives the Vespa GTS performance beyond that of a 300cc model. All installed components, such as suspension and brakes, are adjusted for the higher torque and significantly increased top performance. An absolute highlight for all Vespa tuning fans! A test ride with the Vespa GTS 500 is coming soon - subscribe to the Scooteria channel so you don't miss it!
