New Riva 76 in build
The new coupé expands the sporting range of the Riva brandRiva has announced its new 76' coupé, currently under construction in the Ferretti Group plant in La Spezia.
The new Riva creation will make its debut in September at the Ferretti Group Première event in Montecarlo, then at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2015.
This project has been conceived preserving the family feeling with the other models in the brand’s sporty range, and deservedly joins other true masterpieces in Riva’s recent production: the Ego Super, the Domino, and the 122' Mythos.
"I always feel a deep feeling of pride and sense of responsibility when a new Riva yacht comes to life," said Ferretti Group’s CEO, Alberto Galassi.
"The teams involved in the development of these projects are indeed living the challenging and fantastic experience of creating something unique and innovative while remaining faithful to the 173-year heritage of Riva.
"With this contemporary coupé and the other two new Riva models we are presenting in 2015, Riva confirms once again its role of ambassador of the Italian beauty, technology and unrivalled style," Mr Galassi added.
The Riva 76' stems from the co-operation between Mauro Micheli, the co-founder, with Sergio Beretta, of Officina Italiana Design (the firm that exclusively designs the entire Riva range), Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee, and the Group’s Engineering department.
The Riva 76' has a 22.98-metre (75.5ft) overall length and a beam of 5.75 metres (18.10ft).
The first hull boasts a new shade of metal silver, the already well-known Moon Grey, which is the dominating colour, found both in the hull and in most of the superstructure. In this model, it is combined with Riva’s classical dark shade, Bright Black, which has been used to "better define the stylish shapes and volumes designed by OID". The sporty look is further highlighted by the over 40 square meters of glazed surfaces.
The 'night zone' is over 11.50 metres long. Most of it has been reserved for the owner, who has a full-beam suite that we are told is worthy of larger yachts. The Riva 76’ features three cabins with private head each.
The crew cabin is reached from the cockpit and provides direct access to the engine room.
The new coupé ensures excellent performance, in line with all the other models in this brand’s range. The Riva 76' comes with two V-drive MAN V12, 1550hp engines, which allow it to reach a maximum speed of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots. The owner can also opt for a pair of MAN V12, 1800hp engines, that will push the yacht to a maximum speed of 37 knots and a cruising speed of 32 knots (preliminary data).
