Frauscher x Porsche: new boat with Macan engine

After the open version, the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom has arrived. An elegant runabout with a closed bow and cabin, developed through a collaboration between Porsche and Austrian shipyard Frauscher. The boat features the electric powertrain from the Porsche Macan Turbo, bringing automotive technology into the nautical world. It’s an ambitious and stylistically refined project, but one that may spark debate among brand purists, who were already unconvinced by the Macan EV’s road performance

Elegance and style, with 25 individually numbered units.

Porsche’s commitment to sustainable mobility now extends beyond cars, reaching the waters through its collaboration with the esteemed Austrian boatbuilder Frauscher. Together, they’ve developed a fully electric boat that delivers Porsche’s trademark performance in a new element. Much like the brand’s iconic two-door sports cars, the new boat is available in two configurations: a classic closed-bow runabout with a cabin below deck, or the open “Air” version with a central helm and spacious seating area at the bow. Following the success of the open eFantom—which won Best Electric Boat at the Best of Boats Award in November 2024—the closed version, the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom, now debuts as a limited First Edition, with only 25 units available.

400 Kw from the Macan Turbo engine

It measures 8.67 meters in length and 2.49 meters in width, and they impress with their remarkable acceleration, sporty torque delivery, high performance, timeless design, and luxurious equipment. These are all qualities also associated with the Porsche Macan, which claims to be the sportiest model in its segment and served as the inspiration behind the eFantom. For the transfer of technology from road to water, Porsche uses the most powerful version of its fully electric SUV—the rear-axle motor from the Macan Turbo.

Tailormade Frauscher x Porsche style

The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom offers a wide range of customization options, reflecting both brands’ focus on premium design and individual expression. Owners can tailor the boat’s aesthetics and onboard experience to suit their personal tastes, with a selection of high-quality materials, color schemes, and luxury finishes inspired by Porsche’s automotive interiors.

The cockpit can be trimmed in exclusive upholstery, with contrast stitching, leather options, and carbon-fiber or aluminum detailing. LED ambient lighting and custom dashboard layouts add to the premium feel. The exterior is also fully customizable, from the hull color to detailing inspired by Porsche’s iconic road cars.

In true Porsche fashion, even the controls and user interface are sleek and intuitive, featuring a digital display with custom layouts and performance tracking. Whether you prefer a sporty, minimalist look or a more elegant and classic setup, the 850 Fantom delivers a personalized yachting experience unlike any other.
