When it comes to private jets, Gulfstream makes some of the absolute best of the best. Now, the best is getting even better, with the introduction of the new Gulfstream G800.
The longest range in the Gulfstream fleet, the new G800 business jet has a truly world-class 8,000-nautical-mile/14,816-kilometer range at Mach 0.85 and 7,000-nm/12,964-km range at Mach 0.90, making it the fastest jet ever produced by the marque. All that power comes by way of the high-thrust Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and Gulfstream-designed wing and winglet that was first introduced on the Gulfstream G700. The G800 also features enhanced fuel efficiency and more city-pair capabilities…
According to the jet maker, the G800 is designed to seat up to 19 passengers and it shows. With four living areas or three living areas with crew compartments, the aircraft is dripping with high-end finishes. It also features the signature Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100 per cent fresh, never recirculated air, whisper-quiet noise levels, industry-leading low cabin altitude and 16 Gulfstream panoramic oval windows.
“We designed the ultralong-range G800 to extend our customers’ reach to more people and places around the world,” Burns said. “The G800 redefines what it means to go farther faster in a Gulfstream and offers even more time savings with its impressive range at high speed.”
While no official word on pricing has been released, reports suggest the new Gulfstream G800 comes with a price tag of USD $71.5 million. Customer deliveries for the G800 are anticipated to begin in 2023…
