Porsche is experiencing a historical moment, to say the least remarkable. The electrification of its entire range will mean one of the greatest challenges of its vital journey, especially since it has to adapt it to already mythical models such as the 911. But His priority, to earn quick money, is in the SUVs that are the most desired and sold. Taking into account the dichotomy between exclusive image and profitability, its managers have already chosen…
And they have opted for the second reason, although without forgetting what their story is. In it there will be a model that is ready to mark a new turning point: the Porsche Macan EV. This is its first one hundred percent electric SUV and the one that is called to open the minds of all those customers of the brand who still do not trust this technology. And this teaser they have published seems to insinuate how it will be your body style from a side view. Look…
The silhouette of the new “Porsche Macan EV” has crept into the teaser of this boat…
If you do a little memory you will remember that We already talked about the replacement of the current Porsche Macan. It was the German brand that a few months ago published a series of images in which we could see several test mules. And although he did not tell everything that we would have liked, he did give some clues about what was to come. Well, now those responsible for the brand announce that they are working on a new project that will take its technology…
To be more exact, Porsche and Frauscher will design, develop and build the speedboat you see here. As you well know, the most exclusive car manufacturers in the world are not limited to their models. They establish commercial ties and associations with other equally exclusive firms but from other commercial segments. All this with the following objective: to stay very close to clients who have money in order to continue being present in their lives…
And this teaser is the perfect marketing campaign. Porsche publishes it to advertise this boat and, incidentally, drives a "wedge" into which lets you see the silhouette of your future Macan EV. In itself the drawing does not show much but it does show some design detail that we had overlooked before. If you pay attention the roof line seems flatter y its rear optics resemble those of the Taycan because they are joined to the center by a functional molding...
But what sense does it make to associate Porsche with Frauscher…?
As we have explained before, Porsche and other premium manufacturers like to associate with other firms to which only the wealthiest have access. Frauscher is one of the most reputable boat manufacturers among millionaires and with this association they make the products of one company and another known. Besides, Porsche has invested heavily in the new technology that will bring the Macan EV to life. And therein lies the key to the association between one firm and another...
The boat they have created is called Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air and is based on the 850 Fantom Air that the brand already sells. The technology provided includes the 100 kWh lithium-ion battery, a state-of-the-art permanent-excitation synchronous electric motor (PSM) and related power electronics. Thanks to Porsche's 800 volt technology, the electric boat can be charged at DC fast charging stations as well as AC charging.
The power of the set has not been announced but it does its hull of 8,67 meters in length and 2,49 meters in beam can accommodate up to 9 passengers. All in all, if you like the nautical world and you have money for punishment, maybe you can get one of the 25 units that they are going to manufacture. Frauscher is expected to build the first unit of this new electric yacht in 2024 at its Ohlsdorf, Austria facility. Its price is better not to know...
