The $64+ million Gulfstream G650 is the next generation private jet and will be the fastest, longest-range business jet available.

According the the company:

At a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85, it will carry eight passengers and a crew of four on nonstop legs of 7,000 nautical miles(12,964 km) . That's Dubai to New York, New York to Beijing or London to Buenos Aires with NBAA IFR fuel reserves. At high-speed cruise, Mach 0.90, it will transport your team from Los Angeles to London or Tokyo to Los Angeles in record setting time.

The Gulfstream G650 offers the longest, widest, tallest, most comfortable cabin in its class. The company increased the size of the signature oval windows by 16% to 28 (71.12 cm) by 20.5 inches (52.07 cm).

The G650 has a longer living area in the cabin to improve the seat incline and provide more legroom. The business jet will have wider seats, more aisle space and a conference grouping with three-across seating for meetings or meals accommodating up to 6 people. The additional cabin space will have space for a larger stateroom option that includes a single seat, a divan that berths into a double bed, a large, 26-inch (66.04 cm) pop-up LCD monitor and two windows on each side.
