Before selling a single all-electric vehicle based on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, German sports car maker Porsche partnered with Austrian luxury shipyard Frauscher to transplant the electric powertrain of the upcoming Macan EV crossover into a sports boat named the 850 Fantom Air.
Teased back in June, the first production boat set sail on the Italian Lake Garda, powered by a permanently excited synchronous electric motor whose peak power has been limited to 536 horsepower (400 kilowatts). This is the same motor that will be used in the next-gen Macan EV, but the power figure might be higher when the zero-emissions crossover hits the road (this hasn’t been confirmed, however).
