Sailing on the waters with the Frauscher Fantom x Porsche electric speedboat, our website embarks on an exhilarating journey
Sail into the future of yachting with the groundbreaking collaboration between automotive giant Porsche and Austrian boatbuilder Frauscher. They've brought the race to the water with the electrifying Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air.
This male-dominated world of luxury boats isn't a stranger to cutting-edge tech, but the Fantom Air shatters expectations. Ditching gas guzzling engines for state-of-the-art electric propulsion, this sleek cruiser has been finessed using Porsche's electric tech shared from their Macan SUV series.
Just like its automotive counterpart, the 8.7-meter Fantom Air turns heads with its luxurious design and high-performance standards. Two models are available: the Air, an open-air dayboat, and the limited edition Runabout, which features a closed foredeck and cabin.
But wait, there's more! The price tag is hefty—starting at an eyebrow-raising £485,000—but customizing your Fantom to match your Porsche collection? Priceless! Standard features include a folding sunshade and LED underwater lighting that will make even the most ordinary dive feel like a diamond in the deep.
Step onto the centrally placed Porsche steering wheel, and you might feel like you're driving a car, not a boat. Surrounding the wheel is a 12-inch multifunction display that doesn't just rock a high-end sound system, but also controls essential marine tech like an echo-sounder and navigation chart plotter.
How does the Fantom compare to Porsche's electric sports utility vehicle? According to Porsche spokesman, Jorge Kerner, 'We want to provide the sportiest model in the SUV segment...[and] have now carried this ambition over to the boat in every detail. The Fantom offers characteristic Porsche electric performance with outstanding driving characteristics.'
Environmentally conscious boaters will appreciate the Fantom's cutting-edge tech, which includes a synchronous motor delivering up to 400 kW and an innovative wire-rope suspension system protecting the high-voltage battery from rough waves. Plus, forget the diesel smoke and fumes of regular speedboats—the Fantom manages to maintain a whisper-quiet ride while cruising at 30mph!
But what's the fun in going slow? Just as with the Macan Turbo, the boat offers multiple driving modes and can reach speeds over 95mph in its sportiest setting. And thanks to 800-volt technology, charging from ten to 80% takes less than 30 minutes.
