Description
Meet the 2027 Vespa GTV 310 Officina 8, a new scooter that shows up in **Blu Officina 8** and instantly looks like it has somewhere important (and fun) to be. It’s the kind of color that makes even a quick coffee run feel like a mini escape—deep, cool, and confidently classic without trying too hard.
Under that timeless style is a modern, liquid-cooled **310cc single-cylinder** engine with a **4-stroke** layout, **SOHC** valve configuration, and **4 valves** working to keep things smooth and responsive. Twist the throttle and you’ve got **25 bhp at 6500 rpm** on tap, with a satisfying shove of **21.3 ft-lbs of torque at 5250 rpm**—the kind of everyday punch that makes city gaps feel smaller and open stretches feel longer (in the best way). It’s **fuel injected**, runs on **premium gas**, and **meets Euro 5 emissions**, so it’s tuned for modern life while still feeling delightfully old-school in spirit.
And because a great ride shouldn’t require a great deal of effort, the **continuously variable (CVT) transmission** and **belt primary drive** take care of the shifting decisions for you. Just start it up with the **electric starter**, settle in, and let the scooter do what it does best: make motion feel easy.
The GTV 310 Officina 8 backs up its charm with real, practical substance. A **steel frame** and **steel body material** give it that reassuring, solid Vespa feel, while the **center stand** makes parking and daily routines simple. Up front, a **single-arm front suspension** brings signature character and control, and you can fine-tune comfort with **adjustable front rebound damping**. In the rear, a **twin sided swing arm** setup uses **two shock absorbers**, and you get the flexibility of **adjustable shock/spring pre-load** plus **adjustable rebound damping**—perfect for dialing it in whether you’re riding solo or sharing the fun.
Speaking of sharing: it’s built for two with a **one-piece leather seat** for **driver and passenger**, a comfortable **31.1-inch seat height**, and passenger-ready details like **steel passenger foot pegs**. The riding position is natural and scooter-casual, with a **driver and passenger floor board** layout and **rubber hand grips** that feel right for daily miles.
In the corners and at the stoplights, it stays composed on **aluminum wheels** with **tubeless tires**—**120/70 R12** up front and **130/70 R12** out back—giving it a planted stance in a compact footprint. At **77.8 inches long**, **30.5 inches wide**, and with a **54.1-inch wheelbase**, it’s sized to be nimble without feeling nervous.
Braking is confidently modern too, with **hydraulic disc brakes** front and rear—both **220 mm** with **two-piston calipers**—so slowing down feels just as controlled as speeding up. Add in thoughtful touches like **fork guards**, an **exhaust guard**, a **side cover**, plus the little details (yes, even **tire valve caps** and **valve stems**) and it all comes together like a scooter that’s been carefully finished, not merely assembled.
Top it off with clear everyday information—like a **fuel level gauge** and a **temperature warning light**—and you’ve got a Vespa that’s ready to turn ordinary errands into the kind of ride you look forward to. In **Blu Officina 8**, the 2027 GTV 310 Officina 8 doesn’t just get you there—it makes the “getting there” the best part.
