Mercedes-Benz designers at Mercedes-Benz Style have transferred exactly this to marine vessel design. The objective was to make vehicles' modern luxury tangible on modern luxury motorised yachts. However, cars and vessels have different proportions (which is obvious from the side view) and their demands in terms of using the available space on the inside are also completely different.

This concept is known as "Granturismo". With the new luxury motorised yacht, Mercedes-Benz Style and the cooperation partner Silver Arrows Marine are targeting an international pool of customers, such as confident individualists with the highest demands and a distinguished taste for the Mercedes-Benz brand.
