Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

With the new Gran Turismo 40 OB, BENETEAU takes express cruising to a new level, combining raw power, versatility, and sporty style. Thanks to the integration of two Mercury Verado 400 HP outboard engines, this version delivers impressive acceleration and outstanding performance — ideal for thrill-seekers who don’t want to compromise on comfort and elegance on board.  

Exterior design

The Gran Turismo 40 Outboard stands out with its bold silhouette and modern profile, seamlessly integrating the outboard engines without sacrificing style. This configuration offers easier maintenance, a shallower draft, and more direct access to performance. 

In the aft cockpit, two L-shaped benches surround an aft-facing bar unit, perfect for entertaining guests in a comfortable and social space. The forward sunpad, with folding backrests and a retractable bimini, allows for effortless transitions between sun and shade. 

Access to the water is direct, and the swim platform surrounding the engines ensures comfort without compromising design. Movement on board is fluid, and the fully equipped outdoor galley enhances the experience, whether for active cruising days or relaxing moments at anchor. 

The helm station offers impeccable ergonomics, with optimal visibility and precise controls for immediate response at high speed. 

Interior design

The interior of the GT 40 OB maintains the same level of sophistication and practicality as the entire range. Based on the Kanso philosophy, every detail is designed for serene elegance and efficient use of space. 

The island bed in the forward cabin, the convertible saloon with an additional double berth, the full bathroom with separate shower, and the high-quality finishes provide a homely feel on board — even at high speed. 

The quality of the materials, ambient lighting, and space optimisation make this model the ideal fast cruiser for those wishing to combine power and comfort without compromise.
