The rivals are priced between around $71 million and $81 million, with many variables including cabin interior options.

Gulfstream delivered the first example of the G800 last August, providing customers with an 8,200-nm range at a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85, or a faster Mach 0.90 velocity on sectors of up to 7,000 nm.
