NICE: Luxury car marque Mercedes-Benz has celebrated the world premiere of its luxury motor yacht "Arrow460–Granturismo” on France's Côte d'Azur, setting the vessel out on its maiden voyage off the coast of Nice.
The 14-metre long, 960hp "Silver Arrow of the Seas" combines the performance of Mercedes-Benz sports cars with unique innovations from the boat industry and marks the latest chapter in the brand's expansion into sectors outside of automotive.
The unveil follows other highly-anticipated launches by fellow luxury brands such as Aston Martin and Bugatti, which also recently unleashed their boat interpretations sporting their signature design styles.
Commenting on the debut of the "Arrow460–Granturismo,” Silver Arrows Marine Chairman Ron Gibbs said: “Almost everything about Arrow460-Granturismo is unique, from its concept to the smallest bespoke detail. It is a motor yacht with a personality that truly embraces life, combining the best marine engineering with the inspired innovations and elegance that the world associates with the Mercedes-Benz name. By merging marine and automotive worlds, with their respective design language, technologies and ideas, we have created a new standard of motor yacht, unlike all others.”
