Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 Overview
The Gran Turismo 46 is the latest generation of sport cruiser and benefits from Air Step® technology. With her elegant sporty lines, the Gran Tursimo 46 combines a large opening hardtop, optional electrically operated side windows and a wide glass door that protects the cockpit. For the first time, the latest generation of planing hull offers a choice between a Volvo IPS 600 or outdrives engines on joystick, allowing both safe and ease of manoeuvrability. The Gran Tursimo 46 comes in a two or three cabin version, both with an owner’s suite with a view of the sea on either side stretching across the whole beam of the boat and a guest cabin with a bathroom and separate shower, the Gran Tursimo 46 offers outstanding accommodation for this size of sports cruiser.

The Gran Turismo 46 cockpit features lots of seating that can be moved in around the centrally mounted table to create a more sociable layout.

Sit back and relax with the highly customisable convertible bench or modular sunbed in the aft cockpit.

Large cockpit doors protect the main saloon from the elements, or they can be opened out onto the spacious open-air cockpit to create a wonderful open-plan living space.

TECHNOLOGYDerived from aeronautical industry technology, the Air Step® forms small steps under the hull that help evacuate the water stream and reduce the amount of friction. Combined with captured air forming a cushion, as well as runners to the rear of the hull increasing stability, these chevronned steps considerably increase speed, while reducing energy consumption.The second generation of Air Step® is marked by a considerable increase in the volume of air inflow beneath the hull. It took more than 18 months of research and 350 hours of testing to obtain a new combination increasing airflow and changing the shape and arrangement of the steps.Air Step®2 technology is now compatible with IPS engines, thanks to the research carried out by Beneteau in close collaboration with the staff at Volvo. This technological progress opens wonderful development perspectives for large new inboard motorboats offering stability, safety, and performance second to none.
