Porsche and Austrian boatmaker Frauscher have unveiled the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom, an all-electric luxury boat sharing its powertrain with the Porsche Macan Turbo EV. The sleek vessel, a revised version of Frauscher’s 850 Fantom Air, combines cutting-edge automotive engineering with maritime elegance.
The 28.4-foot (8.67-meter) long boat is powered by a 100 kWh battery pack paired with a 536 hp (400 kW) electric motor, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 56 mph (49 knots). At a cruising speed of 25 mph (22 knots), the boat has a range of 28 miles (45 km), extending to 62 miles (100 km) during slower operation. Charging options include a 270 kW DC fast charger or an 11 kW AC dockside connection.
Debuting at the Düsseldorf International Boat Show in January, the Fantom’s First Edition is limited to 25 units, featuring Porsche-inspired Oakgreen Metallic Neo exteriors and Truffle Brown interiors with orange stitching. The design includes a Porsche steering wheel, car-like instrument cluster, 12-inch infotainment display, and premium materials such as wood trim and ambient lighting.
While the Porsche Macan Turbo starts at €114,600 in Germany, the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom commands a significantly higher price, beginning at €572,934 ($600,000). The collaboration highlights Porsche’s commitment to expanding its electric portfolio into new markets, blending luxury automotive and maritime experiences.
