What you're looking at is the Dynamiq GTT115, a
superyacht designed by Studio F.A. Porsche (a divisions of Porsche Design). The
vessel measures 115 feet from bow to stern, or roughly the length eight 718s
parked end to end. It also weighs nearly 200 tons (or a hundred times more than
a Panamera).
To propel all that mass through the water, Dynamiq
has fitted the GTT115 with a hybrid propulsion system incorporating a pair of
MAN V12s good for over 1,600 horsepower apiece with contrarotating propeller
pods. With a high-speed round-bilge hull, it'll cut through the water at up to
21 knots (or 24 miles per hour by landlubber standards).
Variable-speed generators can also power a pair of
26-hp electric motors to maneuver the boat at speeds of up to 6 knots (7 mph).
Those may not seem like very high speeds for a Porsche, but they're still a
heck of a lot quicker than Porsche's other seaside design can move.
Of course, it'll cost you: finally launched in time
for this year's Monaco Yacht Show, the GTT115 is priced at nearly € 14 million,
or roughly US$ 16.6 million in equivalent American funds – far more than initially
expected, and enough to buy a tenth of the entire 911 GT2 RS production run.
