Vespa - Die Geschichte des Kultklassikers

Enrico Piaggio certainly did not envisage that the construction called Vespa, born out of necessity, would one day achieve cult status when he launched the mother of all scooters, the Vespa 98, in 1946.
But the worldwide triumph of the economical and easy-to-ride two-wheeler was unstoppable from then on - a popularity that continues to this day.

Günther Uhlig tells the story of the Vespa from its beginnings to the present day. As one of the best Vespa experts on the subject, he has a lot to say about the triumph of the scooter from Italy and the countless types and models that have appeared to date.

Vespa Granturismo - Die großen Vespas: GT, GTS und GTV

With the Vespa GTS series introduced in 2003, the successful Italian scooter manufacturer Piaggio said goodbye to beloved design principles such as air cooling, foot brakes and manual transmission. Only the external design is reminiscent of its predecessors.
What initially looked like a risk for the traditional manufacturer continued the Vespa's success story. In Germany in particular, the GTS models lead the registration statistics.

Günther Uhlig tells the story of the Vespa Granturismo from its beginnings to today. With the help of 200 unique photos, the reader experiences the triumph of the GTS series first hand.
