Lomac Milano returns to the prestigious French kermesse with the new GranTurismo 12.0 as World Premiere. The revamp of the famous 12-metre model represents a significant evolution, while retaining the aesthetic stylistic features identifying the Lomac brand.

The Cannes Yachting Festival, the September boat show where all the most important new models on the market are presented to the international public, will be the occasion for Lomac to introduce the new GranTurismo 12.0, one of the yard's best-sellers, and designed by the talented Milanese designer Federico Fiorentino, now boasting a restyled design and optimised water lines.

The evolution mainly involved the helm console, now more muscular and streamlined, the split driver's seats for greater comfort and safety, and the more refined and spacious bow seat, integrated into the new console. The new cushions, with an exclusive pattern and contrasting edges, complete the model's sophisticated look.

The features of the new model allow for even more quality of life on board, thanks to a bow area with a large sundeck that can be converted into a table, an aft area with a large foldaway table and C-shaped seating for 6/8 people, two large sundecks and a comfortable central walkway.

Design details include the new T-Top in fiberglass and composite materials as well as the side and handrail grilles in steel that echo the features of the range.

The engineering of the new GranTurismo 12.0 has been developed by Lomac's in-house Technical Department, following the #hullsupremacy philosophy, which is based on the creation of highly efficient hulls that guarantee lower fuel consumption for the same speed/weight compared to competitors, and higher speed for the same fuel consumption.

The boat, thanks to the power and torque of 3 x Mercury V8 300HP, reaches speeds well in excess of 50 knots, always in safety and control in all weather conditions.

The new Lomac GranTurismo 12.0 will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 from 10th to 15th of September and will be available for sea trials by appointments only.
