Derived from the 858 Air, with its luxurious water roadster lines, this new Austrian runabout has a German heart. The result of a prestigious partnership between the two brands – Frauscher for the boat, Porsche for the motor – the 850 Fantom Air is 100% electrically powered. Presented as a world premiere at the Boot in DĂŒsseldorf, the new Frauscher is powered by the engine of the electric Macan, Porsche’s “little” SUV, delivering 170 kW, fed by a 100 kWh lithium battery. The housing of this power-unit is emblazoned with the German brand’s logo. Not to be outdone, the steering wheel features the Porsche badge. A priori, it’s a pleasure to drive, and the manufacturer claims a range of 24 miles at 22 knots at cruising speed. The comfortable cockpit features a large forward saloon with facing benches and a refrigerated drawer under the rear bench. But what really stands out is the cockpit, with its harmonious high-tech design and two bucket seats. The first edition of this large electric motorboat will be limited to 25 units.
