Porsche X Frauscher
A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC BOATING
Electric Sports Boat with Drive Technology from the Future Macan
Sports car manufacturer Porsche and Frauscher Shipyard have joined forces to unveil the first production model of the 850 Fantom Air, an electric sports boat that incorporates cutting-edge drive technology inspired by the forthcoming all-electric Porsche Macan. This exciting collaboration has resulted in a groundbreaking vessel that boasts an impressive 400 kW of electric power and can reach speeds of up to 85 km/h. The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air represents a significant step forward in the world of electric boating.
One of the standout features of this electric sports boat is its 800-volt technology, which enables fast and efficient charging. With the capability to charge at over 250 kW of DC current at DC fast-charging stations, the battery can be replenished from a 10% state of charge to 80% in under 30 minutes under ideal conditions. Additionally, AC charging at conventional household and high-voltage sockets is available, making it a practical choice for most ports.
Helmstand by Studio F. A. Porsche
The helmstand on the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air exemplifies Porsche's dedication to design excellence. Crafted by Studio F. A. Porsche, known for its innovative and iconic designs, it features a high-gloss black instrument panel with a frameless tinted acrylic glass windscreen, combining Porsche's heritage with practical elegance. The winglet-style side ends, inspired by the Porsche 911, serve as both design elements and functional grab handles.
Powerful E-Performance
Porsche has adapted its advanced drive technology designed for road vehicles for use on the water. The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air incorporates components from the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the same platform that underpins the new Macan. The electric motor, a state-of-the-art permanently excited synchronous electric motor (PSM) with a peak power of 400 kW, delivers exceptional performance. The boat offers four pre-programmed driving modes: Docking, Range, Sport, and Sport Plus. These modes allow users to tailor the boat's performance to their specific needs, with varying throttle response and speed limits.
Exceptional Range and Top Speed
The eFantom achieves an optimum cruising speed of 41 km/h, offering a cruising range of approximately one hour or about 45 kilometers on a single charge. When cruising at hull speed, it can cover distances of over 100 kilometers, making it suitable for extended journeys. In Sport Plus mode, the boat can reach a top speed of 85 km/h, providing exhilarating performance for those seeking an adrenaline rush on the water. This boat is not only a technological marvel but also environmentally friendly, emitting zero local emissions.
A Daycruiser with Premium Amenities
The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air is based on the Frauscher 858 Fantom Air day cruiser, retaining its spacious design and capacity for up to nine passengers. The boat features a generous lounge area with comfortable sunbathing pads, and two upholstered benches in the front end invite relaxation. Standard equipment includes two folding bimini tops, a high-end audio system with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, a 12-inch multi-information display with integrated echo sounder and chart plotter, a bow thruster for simplified mooring, LED ambient lighting, LED underwater lighting, and a cooling compartment. Customization options for upholstery, hull, and deck colors are available, allowing customers to personalize their boat.
