With the GTX80, Pershing has virtually launched the second model in the GTX series into the water and advertises it with the attributes "fun and total control". The Ferretti Group engaged the team from Vallicelli Design for the design, while the construction was carried out by in-house professionals.
The layout of the new model
The key data: 24 metres long, 5.80 metres wide, two decks plus a "sports bridge" and enough space for eight overnight guests in four suites as well as a cabin for the crew. At 23 square metres, the sun deck is around 60 percent larger than on comparable yachts and is protected by a carbon hardtop. On the main deck, owners and guests gather in the open galley bar, which adjoins the cockpit and is the centre of life on board. At the front, the captain sits behind a windscreen and the sunroof above can be opened.
Pershing GTX80 powered by three Volvo Penta engines
The powerful glider is supplied with three Volvo Penta IPS-1350 engines, which provide a maximum speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots. The GTX80 displaces 50 tonnes, and the Italians claim a range of 300 nautical miles.
