YACHTS & YACHTING 31
Through various processing and installation tests , the two companies achieved the goal of using thin slabs of grey Versilys marble on board of a GT320 , the iconic model of the Italian shipyard .
Marble is used for the walkable surfaces of the deck , as well as for various details and complements on board , from the kitchenette in the cockpit to the bathroom top and its washbasin .
The Titanium cushions and the Attack Grey colour embody the perfect match for the elegant shades of marble ; a combination of charm and sportiness is also expressed in the choice of propulsion : two generous Volvo Penta V8s engines with 350 horsepower each , for excellent performance and comfort .
The full-load weight of the GT320 Versilys differs slightly ( around 70 kg ) from the 8 tonnes of the standard version : this amazing result derives from an unprecedented plate processing technology and the consistent use of carbon parts , such as the hard-top and support poles of the aft awning .
“ The Classic does not only belong to the past , it is the image in which every civilisation has identified the most accomplished form of its culture . It is something that remains deeply relevant and continues to stand the test of time ” comments Christian Grande .
