BENETEAU Presents New GRAN TURISMO Range at Cannes Yatching Festival 2015

GT40 - Elegance, quality fittings, top-level finish and sensations guaranteed. The new Gran Turismo range developed by #beneteau is full of surprises. Harmonious throughout, many of the details on the new Gran Turismo 40 boat underline the balance between her strong sporting character and the type of functions you might expect for a pleasant, luxurious yet practical life on board.

In creating this boat, #beneteau sought out the well-known designers Nuvolari and Lenard who have already designed several legendary craft of this type. The builder has also made use of the latest innovations from his motor boats design office, applying all the technological resources available, with a view to offering outstanding comfort and sensations, as well as exceptional performance.

Ingeniously combining the protection afforded by a hard-top boat and the sensations of an open craft, the Gran Turismo 40 has a hard top which can be pushed right back. The electrically powered side glazing means that the ultra-spacious cockpitcan be freed totally to accommodate up to twelve people. The conversion of the cockpit seating into immense sun-loungers increases still further the boat’s relaxation space, adding to the boat’s already generous 4m2 sunbaths with adjustable backrests up on the fore deck. No detail has been overlooked.

In a marriage of speed and style, the new Gran Turismo 40 is as pleasant to admire as she is to drive. Designed to stand out on the water, her lines are elegant accentuated by a streamlined hull and the hard-top with its carefully designed side glazing. Enhancing both visibility and comfort, #beneteau has centred the three- seater helming station. With the latest generation Air Step planing hull, this new Sport Cruiser gives you driving sensations and a level of comfort whereby you can sail safely and comfortably at speeds of up to 35 knots. The Volvo Z Drive engine makes this new motor boat particularly manoeuvrable.

For a wonderful entry to nautical and aquatic experiences, the vast swim platform, (1.30 m deep) with motorization as an optional extra, can be lowered to just below sea level. Linking life on board and the sea, it offers features you find on great yachts. It is particularly useful for stowing the tender when sailing.

The layout of the lower deck provides a feeling of space which has never been seen before on a boat of this size. Facing the spacious convertible saloon with large hull windows, a proper fully-fitted kitchen galley complements the deck kitchen. With her two cabins, and a real washroom with separate shower, the Gran Turismo 40 clearly stands out for her habitability.

GT46 - The GT 46, the latest addition to the recently-launched Gran Turismo range, will make its first appearance at the Nautic de Paris in December this year. It will be the second model in this new generation of Beneteau-designed Sports Cruisers, and although similar in style and spirit to the GT 40, it represents a significant step forwards in terms of customisation, quality of materials and finish. Despite being resolutely sporty in character, it is also designed to ensure high levels of safety combined with a sumptuous décor.

The GT pushes the boundaries with its combination of passenger protection and an ‘open’ design: it has a fully-opening hard-top, retractable side windows and a fully-opening glazed door which allows the cockpit to be completely isolated from elements. All this ensures even greater levels of on-board comfort.

The GT 46 incorporates the latest generation Beneteau-designed Air Step®2 planing hull, and for the first time offers a choice of a Volvo IPS 600 motor or a Z Drive, with power of up to 2 x 400 HP. Safe, easily manoeuvrable and with its sporting characteristics, this new unit promises to provide the maximum in sailing pleasure.
