SANLORENZO SP110

The bespoke maker's first-ever open coupé model paves its way into the world of sports yachts with a revolutionary proposal. The maiden motor yacht in the Smart Performance range, the SP110 breaks from convention by combining a green awareness and unique comfort with unparalleled performance.

Conceived under the supervision of respected yacht designer Tilli Antonelli, the 108.40ft boat guarantees high performance with maximum energy efficiency thanks to a fractional propulsion system consisting of three significantly smaller V12 engines with an optimal power-to-weight ratio. Further enhancing consumption and performance is the use of various weight-saving solutions, such as the use of lightweight materials.

A key feature is the Marco Arnaboldidesigned hull, which is optimised for use with hydrojet propulsion, and central to SP110's sustainability. The boat, which can reach up to cruise and maximum speeds of 39 and 43 knots respectively, is also equipped with an energy recovery system that uses monocrystalline solar panels.

With Zuccon International Project at the helm for the exterior styling, the SP110 flaunts new features that strongly identify the sporty range while maintaining continuity with Sanlorenzo's tradition. Expect unusual shapes and new proportions, aerodynamic lines and livery. The two-deck yacht features an unprecedented layout, consisting of large surfaces that can be used in a variety of ways, both inside and out.

Designed by Piero Lissoni, the interiors fuse two floors of space linked by a vertical loft. The main salon and dining area straddle the entire width of the upper deck, which is connected via a sleek staircase to a cosy lower-deck lounge. There are four cabins that accommodate up to eight guests.
