The 465 and 505 SUVs share a strong heritage that combine the spirited blue-water performance and open water sports cockpit of the Riviera Sports Motor Yacht Collection with the single-level living, entertaining and relaxation spaces of their Sport Yachts. The Riviera SUV concept has been widely celebrated since the first model, the 445, was launched in 2012, and now includes seven models, from 39 to 64 feet in length.
The showcase will also include the popular 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition.
