EXTERIOR DESIGN

With her elegant, sporty line, the Gran Turismo 46 retains a completely open hardtop, electrically-operated side glazing and a wide glass door that protects the cockpit. A perfect combination of protection and clear space, she offers an aft galley. For the first time, the latest planing hull generation offers a choice between a Volvo IPS 600 or a Z Drive engine, allowing up to 2 x 400 HP.  Both safe and easily maneuvered, this model promises satisfaction at the wheel.

Interior Design

With the master's suite offering a full beam view of the water on both sides and a guest cabin with a head and separate shower, the Gran Turismo 46, in a two or three cabin layout, offers superior accommodation for her size. Her interior is well-ventilated and provides a lot of natural light. Gorgeous woodwork enhanced by lavish materials such as titanium, leather, and lacquer finishes create a comfortable atmosphere. 

PROTECTION AND OPENING

Both protective and open, the ultra-spacious cockpit is equipped with electric glazed windows and an optional fully opening glass door.

Sunbathing and relaxation

The Gran Turismo 46 has a highly customizable relaxation space with a choice of a convertible bench or a modular sun-bed. The reclining bench is electrically controlled, offering two sun-loungers, while the sun bed unfolds by simply tilting back the seat back towards the sea or the cockpit.

Power, Elegance and Style

The perfect marriage of brains and brawn, the Gran Turismo is as delightful for the captain as it is for her passengers. She promises a wonderful experience underway and at anchor. 

 

Air Step® 2

Air Step® 2 marks considerable development and is now compatible with Volvo IPS engines. By increasing the volume of air inflow under the hull threefold and reducing fuel consumption, she accelerates faster and gains speed. The latest generation of this patent has proven its worth, offering excellent seakeeping, minimal resistance through waves, linear acceleration, and tight turns. The “air cushion” effect aft of the hull procures amazing comfort.

Swim platform

Designed for loads of up to 770 lbs, the large swim platform is submersible and can easily take the weight of a Jet Ski or dinghy. There is a storage locker in which all your swimming and water sport accessories can be kept close at hand. 

Galley and lounge

 Bathed in natural light, the galley in the Gran Turismo 46 is designed in an L shape. It is very well equipped with a double Kenyon ceramic hob, a fridge-freezer, and lots of storage places. For even greater comfort, it can be fitted with a microwave and dishwasher. In the two-cabin version, the galley faces a convivial lounge, ideal for chatting while cooking meals.
