This is a model update rather than a new model. These usually get equipment upgrades and a minor facelift & usually signal that the model is reaching the end of its life. So I wouldn't expect drastic changes to the body or engine.

This model will no doubt be retired or replaced in about 6 months to a year.

According to the article:

And available for the first time on the Vespa GTS, a sophisticated Multimedia Platform that allows you to connect your smartphone to the onboard electronics turning it into a tool with multiple functions, a real sophisticated computer capable of simultaneously displaying information such as speedometer, tachometer, but also power and torque delivered instantly, longitudinal acceleration, instantaneous and average fuel consumption, average speed and battery voltage, and much more.

You'd think that would not be the case factoring in new molds and amortization of various tooling.

It looks the same with a few new features. Guess I'll be sticking with my 250 for now.

Yeah. I read that also but nothing in the playstore to download. Online search brings up no apk.
I have the module installed on my 946 and so far only iPhone, ipod or iPad if you like it big.
