"German sportscar manufacturer Porsche has unveiled the latest creation
stemming from its collaboration with Austrian-based Frauscher Shipyard, the
Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom, a classic electric runabout with a range of up
to 100 kilometres and seating for seven passengers.
The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Runabout is the second boat to be launched
by the two companies, following the launch in June of 2023 of the Frauscher x
Porsche 850 Fantom Air.
Just as Porsche two-door sportscars are available as both coupés and
convertibles, among other variants, the new Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom is
now available as both a Runabout and Air.
While the two boats are similar in most regards, the Air boasts an open
foredeck compared to the closed foredeck on the Runabout.
Measuring in at 8.67-metre long and 2.49-metre wide, the Runabout features the
all-electric drive unit from the Porsche Macan which boasts a permanently
excited synchronous motor delivering up to 400 kW. Meanwhile, the boat is
powered by a 100kWh battery, which is the same as that found in the Porsche
Macan.
Backed by the power from the Porsche Macan drive unit and battery, the Runabout
can reach speeds of up to 90km/h, though that’ll eat through the battery
quickly. Battery range at a cruising speed of around 41km/h (22knots) works out
to around 45km, but at slower speeds Porsche says the range can extend out to
100km.
DC charging is available up to 270kW with AC charging up to 11kW."
