In an effort to prove that Cupra is about more than just cars, the brand has teamed up with Barcelona’s De Antonio to create a yacht inspired by the Cupra Formentor VZ5. The D28 Formentor is a high-performance yacht named after the first vehicle designed and developed especially for the brand. The 394 hp yacht is capable of hitting 40 knots (46 mph). At 7.99 meters long, the D28’s V-shaped hull is what allows it to hit its top speed and cruise comfortably. With a wide deck, it has lots of space for activities and is stable during anchoring.
A walk-around deck allows you to literally
walk the entire perimeter of the yacht. That gives you access to sundecks with
seating and tables at both the bow and stern. The D28 Formentor also includes a
fully equipped bathroom and enough room for 10 people. In a nod to the Cupra
Formentor, the D28 is finished in Cupra‘s signature Petrol Blue color with
copper accents. It also features carbon fiber accessories.
The yacht was shown off at Marina Vela in
the port of Barcelona alongside a Cupra Formentor VZ5. The limited-edition
performance crossover makes use of Audi‘s 2.5-liter inline-five engine. In this
application, it makes 385 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque and can hit 60 mph in just
4.2 seconds. The De Antonio D28 Formentor Yacht is expected to go into
production before the end of the year.
