The new generation of “crossover express cruisers” by the French shipyard is an answer to the changes in customers’ demands
The contemporary sporty exterior of the new models features a reverse bow, hull lines descending gradually towards the stern, an open aft section and a low superstructure.
In addition to performance and comfort, Beneteau focused on using high-quality materials, entertainment opportunities and personalisation of space on board.
According to the designers, one of the main ideas of the new Gran Turismo range is to convey the feeling of “villa living”, to offer a place on the water where one can really relax and have a rest. This reflects in the increase in exterior spaces by 30%, appearance of fold-out platforms and beach clubs, ensuring constant contact with the water.
“Gran Turismo has been a hugely popular range for express cruising, showcasing our technology, performance and style. But there was a need to update and modernize the models for our core market. Designed with the consumer at its heart, the new range embodies our vision of 'Sport-Lux', providing open spaces with a premium feeling”, said Eric LeVine, Motor Yachts Sales Director.
The name of the range, Gran Turismo, borrowed from the famous GT car range of the 60s, reflects the focus on comfortable but sporty and responsive handling.
When at anchor, solar energy and lithium batteries allow one to relax in complete silence, as well as to recharge and inflate the water toys. Gyro stabilisers are used to ensure the guests’ comfort on board.
The world premieres for the Gran Turismo 35 and 40 models are scheduled for the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025, while all the three models, including the Gran Turismo 50, will be showcased early in 2026 in Düsseldorf.
