Elan's flagship performance yacht, the 47-foot Elan E6, is renowned for its lightweight construction and exceptional blend of sporty potential and cruising comfort. Its striking design, which holds the signature of one of the world’s most cherished industrial design firms, Pininfarina, is a standout feature. Pininfarina, globally renowned for the design of some of the most desired sports cars, including Ferrari's most iconic ones, is an established player in the nautical world, having designed yachts such as the Wally 101, Persico F70, and Tango Wallycento.
ELAN E6 Nero
During the design process of the Elan E6, some allowances were made to appeal to a broader range of sailors and their families. Now that the model has matured and established itself in the sailing community, Elan, in collaboration with Pininfarina, has introduced a special version of the E6 that aligns closely with Pininfarina's original vision and unconventional styling features. The Elan E6 Nero features bold interior design choices, most notably black surfaces in the companionway, galley, and head, as well as black upholstery in the saloon.
The E6 Nero is meant for discerning sailors, who in addition to performance, comfort and engineering, appreciate distinctive solutions rooted in Pininfarina’s unmistakable Italian style. These sailors consider themselves connoisseurs of design, appreciate sophistication and elegance, and wish to combine their passion for fast sailing with the pinnacle of design expression.
“Elan E6 has become an icon thanks to a balanced blend of elegance and sportiness. To celebrate the success of the yacht we have created a special edition, even closer to the sophisticated Pininfarina design DNA, reimagining the interiors in a black color scheme, diverging from traditional light colors and thus becoming an additional distinctive feature of the Elan E6.”, Daniele Mazzon, Chief Transportation designer, Pninfarnia
The Elan E6 is a multiple award-winning yacht, having received the International Yachting and Aviation Award, the prestigious Red Dot: Product Design award, the BigSEE Design of the Year award, and a nomination in the performance cruiser category for the European Yacht of the Year award.
