‘in developing the new motor yacht, we have transferred our expertise to the marine industry, creating something never seen before in the process. the ‘silver arrow of the seas’ stands for modern luxury, avant-garde style and comfortable elegance. the yacht embodies the mercedes-benz’s progressive, dynamic design philosophy of sensual purity on the water. or, to put it another way, it is hot and cool in one, and stands for emotion and intelligence,’ explains gorden wagener, vice president design daimler AG. ‘together with silver arrows marine we have managed to develop a totally new boat concept. by virtue of maximum variability, the yacht combines the advantages of an open boat with the generous interior and privacy of a cabin cruiser. it weds charismatic design with perfect functionality, much in the same way as is familiar from our road vehicles. as such, the ‘arrow460–granturismo’ is sure to cause a stir on the seas and at marinas throughout the world in the coming years.’
