2026 Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 #17596

Born from both modern data and well over a century of boatbuilding experience, the new Gran Turismo 40 beautifully redefines the world of express cruising, leaving in its wake the restrictions, compromises and imperfections of yesteryear. Ideal for both day trips and weekend getaways, it provides mind-bending comfort, state-of-the-art technology, and a sleek, automotive-inspired aesthetic. To see it, to drive it is to know – powerboating will never be the same. 

One of the timeless luxuries of this world remains the luxury of choice, and in this spirit BENETEAU offers the new Gran Turismo in different versions – outboard, sterndrive or coupe. The expansive aft cockpit features a dual L-shaped seating arrangement and a aft-facing wet bar, creating a perfect entertainment command post. A fully equipped galley makes it perfect for weekends aboard or longer touring adventures. The foredeck sunpad with flip-up seating and a sun awning option allow for easy transitions between sun and shade, and movement across the boat is as easy as it is natural.

With twin Mercury Verado 400hp or Yanmar 320hp engines (as base engine options) the Gran Turismo 40 delivers thrilling speeds managed from a perfectly designed helm station. Sophisticated finishes, signature hull light blades, and a seamless indoor/outdoor flow set an entirely new standard in terms of what an express cruiser should offer

With base twin Mercury Verado 400hp outboards or Yanmar 320hp inboard engines, the Gran Turismo 40 delivers thrilling speeds paired with a helm console of masterful ergonomics. Whether you’re on an open-throttle run to your local spot, or on a lazy champagne sunset cruise, the smooth ride and perfect layout will never cease to amaze both captain and guests. 

The Gran Turismo 40 interior features an elegant forward master berth coupled with a midship section that is as versatile as it is comfortable. A fullsize head and shower section makes no concessions to comfort, allowing for short stays to be extended on a whim. Light is carefully harnessed and blends perfectly with the minimalist design, creating an area of unmistakable peace.
