Two French Icons and a World Premiere at The Paris Nautic Show: New Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 Alpine Limited Edition

December 2, 2025

At the Paris Nautic Show, BENETEAU and Alpine are bringing together two worlds steeped in French expertise by unveiling the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition for the first time, alongside the all-new Alpine A390.

              • This flagship model brings together two legendary French brands: BENETEAU’s heritage in boatbuilding and Alpine’s motorsport DNA.

              • Visit the BENETEAU x Alpine stand in Hall 3 at the Paris Nautic Show, from 26 to 30 November, at the Parc des Expositions in Paris-Le Bourget. A press conference will be held on 28 November at 9am (CET Time) at stand No. C-47.

The Gran Turismo 50 stands as the flagship of Beneteau’s Gran Turismo line. More than just a new model, she represents a renewed vision of sport-luxury boating inspired by the Japanese principles of simplicity and impression. Rooted in Kanso — the pursuit of clarity and essentiality — and Yugen, the appreciation of subtle beauty, the Gran Turismo 50 blends flowing exterior lines with a calm, balanced interior atmosphere. From her sleek profile to the soft ambient lighting in the cabins, every detail is designed to bring well-being, harmony and elegance on board.

This design philosophy naturally resonated with Alpine. The two brands share the same commitment to useful creativity, technical discipline and a typically French approach to performance. One draws from 140 years of boatbuilding expertise; the other from decades of automobile culture. Their meeting is not symbolic but the result of a shared vision: audacious, design-focused and deeply respectful of their own heritage.

The Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition gives tangible form to this shared vision. The exclusive colour of her hull, Bleu Abysse, gives the boat a deep, elegant and instantly recognisable presence. Inside, Alpine’s aesthetic codes appear in subtle but instantly intentional touches: refined textures, carbon-inspired details and an attention to detail that reflects the involvement of both design teams. the cockpit is equipped with a customised steering wheel inspired by the Alpine automotive world, transforming the driving position into a true cockpit that is precise and intuitive.

The exterior lines — low, elongated and sporty — echo Alpine’s design codes while preserving the Gran Turismo 50’s identity as a sport-cruiser designed for balance and ease of movement. The connection between interior and exterior spaces remains fluid and natural, reinforcing the Gran Turismo line’s position as a reference in contemporary sport-luxe boating.

Behind this project lies the commitment of highly skilled teams, who have successfully adapted automotive materials and created more than 300 bespoke components for maritime use. This collaboration has become a real industrial challenge, but also a source of pride, creativity and collective success, reinforcing their commitment to innovation through design and excellence in quality.

The Paris Nautic Show will also be an opportunity to discover the A390, the new electric sport fastback from the brand with the arrowed A logo. This will be its first official appearance before the general public since orders opened in France on 4 November 2025.

The adventure will continue in early 2026, when the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition will make her debut at Boot Düsseldorf, where BENETEAU will have a large stand in the centre of Hall 6.
