Sunseeker will present each of the new models over the next few weeks, commencing with the stunning Manhattan 55 and Predator 55 EVO.

@Sunseeker Manhattan 55

Sunseeker Manhattan 55: If ever there was an argument for a model ‘perfecting perfection’, this has to be it.

Building on the highly successful Manhattan range, the Manhattan 55 has been developed to offer exceptional levels of comfort and luxury throughout with a vast array of social spaces for entertaining.

A key feature of this new model is the innovative powered glass cockpit/galley window that can be electronically
lowered to bring the outdoors in. Matched to swathes of glazing, a selection of premium wood finishes, premium
lighting solutions and a cool all-new contemporary interior, relaxing in comfort and style has never been so effortless.

She boasts three large cabins featuring fabulous finishes with the Master being particularly voluminous, bathed in
natural light from its over-sized hull glazing.

A well-equipped bathing platform with Beach Club aft and a hospitable foredeck entertainment area, make her perfect for family and friends to relax and entertain.

Being a Sunseeker, performance is never forgotten so this new model is now powered by Volvo Penta D13-800
engines, delivering improved acceleration and efficient cruising.

The Manhattan 55 enables its owner to enjoy the sumptuous space the open layout provides, showcasing the
wonderfully well-equipped bathing platform and Beach Club. This area offers an inviting space for family and friends to enjoy the optional built-in barbeque, overhead shower and fold down transom seating.

Powered by Volvo Penta D13-800 engines, the Manhattan 55 can cruise comfortably at 25 knots with a range of 250
nautical miles or achieve in excess of 30 knots at full throttle.

“The team has excelled in developing this beautiful new model which is packed with new technology, ingenious design features and exceptional detailing, both inside and out.” – ANDREA FRABETTI, CEO AT SUNSEEKER INTERNATIONAL

@17.05m Sunseeker Predator 55 EVO

17.05m Sunseeker Predator 55 EVO has been engineered to make the heart race.

Sunseeker Predator 55 EVO’s evolutionary design is emphasised throughout its superstructure and interior. Framed
by stainless steel and carbon fibre detailing, the Predator 55 EVO sits sporty and sleek atop the water.

Inside, the dynamic feel continues with the Predator range of interior fabrics and textures throughout. Independent helm seats in the focussed cockpit allow owners to enjoy its piercing performance in comfort whilst underway. A carbon fibre opening roof with multiple glazed panels along with carefully devised concealed lighting, frames the saloon and maximises light throughout.

.Aft of the helm is well-appointed upholstered seating for up-to-six to socialise around a fixed coffee table, set opposite new push-to-touch storage cabinets. Predator 55 EVO also benefits from a state-of-the-art AV system with zoning capabilities, allowing for different music in the cockpit and saloon to suit the taste and mood of all on board.

At the rear, a tender garage and mini Beach Club complement the foredeck entertainment area, creating ample
exterior spaces to bring everyone closer to the water. Available with Volvo D11-725 shaft engines, the Predator 55
EVO reaches an exhilarating 34 knots whilst taking advantage of its ‘Hydro-Pack’ which utilises a fly-by-wire steering system for exceptional agility.

“The Predator 55 EVO utilises innovative technology, beautiful detailing and performance systems throughout and we have no doubt this model is going to be another market leader” – ANDREA FRABETTI, CEO OF SUNSEEKER.

Kimera Evo 37 is a modern reincarnation of the historic Lancia 037

by
@kimera-automobili.com

Kimera Automobili is a winning idea of the past projected into the future. Kimera Evo 37 was created to emulate the original Lancia 037 rally car look.

It is a beautiful story, an all Italian story. It is a dream, a Kimera… that becomes reality. What’s it all about? A little more patience before it is fully revealed … even if the name Evo 37, the shape and some unmistakable details, to those who know it and have deeply loved it, will already say a lot. Lancia 037 is re-edited as 550hp Kimera Automobili’s EV037. This modern recreation of the Lancia 037 will offer around 550 HP.

Kimera Automobili new Evo 37 pays homage to the original Lancia 037.

Kimera Automobili is preparing to unveil soon its re-edition supercar, to be produced in a limited series. A suggestion of emotional impact, an inspiration of the car origins rooted in the past. A world motorsport icon that rediscovers its unmistakable nature and shape, ennobled by the maximum possible performance development, as if the legendary car model was conceived today.

The same men who made it legendary, transmit their knowledge and philosophy to those who – through research and technological development – take up the challenge to represent the excellence of an Italian region, that has been the absolute protagonist of design, technology and motorsport in the automotive industry.

The result is an uncompromising car, aware of its essence and nature, built with the excellence and the best offered by modern technology in motor engineering. A vehicle that combines the style, flavor and charme of a legendary racing “rocket” from the 80’s, with all the characteristics of an astonishing modern car in terms of technical avant-garde, performance and driving pleasure.

@instagram.com/kimera_automobili/

“It is the cat that greatest Rally champions have loved the most and that, in this re-edition, only a very few privileged, enthusiast, collectors from all over the world will be able to drive. It’s the result of a deep respect and a visceral love for something no longer exists and it is remembered with pleasure, affection and nostalgia. Something we would love to see again and find again today.” – Kimera Automobili.

“Production will of course be limited, with Kimera to build just 37 examples of the EVO37. Prices reportedly start at around the half-a-million-euro mark ($600k in current exchange rates) but if you missed out on securing a slot, fear not as Kimera will also produce 10 more cars that will be fitted with ‘Integrale’ four-wheel-drive systems.” – carscoops.com.

“Obviously, this Lancia is going to be about more than just outright performance, wrote pistonheads.com; it’s the high drama and viscerality of an eighties rallying-inspired package that Kimera is going for. That’s set to be carried into the car’s design, as far as we can see in the shadowy preview video. We’ll see the covers come off when it’s been put out on track for a shakedown, scheduled to take place in exactly a month on May 22, before customer cars are produced. The price for each will be £430,000, which is a substantial, but not surprising sum for this sort of machine. We’re certainly tempted.”
