Technical Overview
2013 Vespa GTV Vie Della Moda Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Vespa for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2013 Vespa GTV Vie Della Moda features a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21.5 HP (15.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22.3 Nm (16.4 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 77.3 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the GTV Vie Della Moda measures 148 kg (326 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,369 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.08-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 129 km/h (80 mph).
