BENETEAU GRAN TURISMO 40 IB
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
The result of modern data and over a century of experience in boat building, the new Gran Turismo 40 superbly redefines the world of express cruising, leaving behind the limitations, compromises and imperfections of the past. Ideal for day trips and weekend getaways, it offers exceptional comfort, cutting-edge technology and a refined design inspired by the automotive world. To see it and drive it is to know it: you will never see motorboating in the same way again.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
One of the essential luxuries in this world remains the privilege of choice. With this in mind, BENETEAU presents the new Gran Turismo in different versions: outboard, inboard and coupé. The spacious aft cockpit includes two L-shaped benches and a charming bar cabinet facing aft, creating an ideal helm station for entertaining guests. The bow sundeck with folding seats and retractable bimini allow you to move easily from sun to shade, and moving around on board is as easy as it is natural. A fully equipped galley will be perfect for weekends on board or long excursions.
With two 400 hp Mercury Verado or 320 hp Yanmar engines (basic engine options), the Gran Turismo 40 reaches breakneck speeds controlled from a perfectly designed cockpit. The refined finishes, the characteristic light strip and the smooth transition between interior and exterior set a new standard in fast cruising.
INTERIOR DESIGN
The philosophy behind the new-generation Gran Turismo concept, focused on simplicity or “Kanso”, is reflected in the relaxing interiors bathed in ambient lighting. The bow extends into an island-style berth with ample storage space, while the convertible berth in the centre of the boat offers a versatile and pleasant space for a movie night, storing your belongings, taking a nap or any other activity you desire. The bathroom with toilet and shower will remind you of the comfort of your home. Well-thought-out features such as ambient lighting, integrated reading lights and soft-close drawers highlight the attention to detail of this boat, making the Gran Turismo 40 a perfect blend of sophistication and functionality that modern sailors demand.
KEY FEATURES OF A CROSSOVER REVOLUTION
ALPINE CHARM
The historic partnership between BENETEAU and Alpine, the legendary car manufacturer, allows customers to enjoy innovative aesthetic enhancements on a limited edition of yachts. The custom colours include a Signal Grey finish on the hull with elegant black accents on the engine covers, lights, door handles, cleats, handrails, screen supports and control console. Touches of navy blue have been used throughout the interior, particularly on the furniture, trim and embroidery. The result is a magnificent fast cruising boat that will turn heads in marinas from Seattle to Sydney and around the world.
UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE AND SPEED
With a base motorisation that includes two 400 hp Mercury Verado outboard engines or two 320 hp Yanmar inboard engines, the Gran Turismo 40 reaches breakneck speeds and features a carefully designed ergonomic steering console. Whether you're racing to your favourite spot or enjoying a leisurely cruise with champagne at sunset, the smooth handling and perfect layout will never cease to amaze the captain and passengers.
ELEGANT AND SPACIOUS INTERIOR DESIGN
The interior of the Gran Turismo 40 stands out for its elegant main cabin in the bow combined with a central section that is as versatile as it is comfortable. A spacious bathroom with toilet and shower offers optimal comfort, allowing you to extend short stays at your leisure. The design allows you to control the light, which blends perfectly with the minimalist design, creating an atmosphere of absolute serenity.
