Porsche Design Penned This Sixteen Million Dollar Yacht

Studio F.A Porsche, formerly known as Porsche Design Studio, has put its stamp on Dynamiq’s latest superyacht.

The Monegasque company was the first shipyard to reach out to the pens at Porsche for help designing one of their superyachts, the GTT 115, and the design is unabashedly Porsche.

“Taking the spirit of high-performance sportscar styling to the high seas, the Dynamiq GTT 115 is designed to appeal to car lovers and forward-thinking yacht owners who appreciate the advantages of speed, style and our philosophy of intelligent performance,” said Roland Heiler, CEO of Studio F. A. Porsche.

Dynamiq says the exterior was created with exclusive Porsche DNA, featuring elements “targa-style mullions” which were inspired by the Mission E, while the yacht will be offered with Porsche paint options Carrera White, Rhodium Silver, Chalk, and Monte Carlo Blue, among others. Deck cushions and interior upholstery will feature the same houndstooth pattern found in the Porsche 911 R.

Continuing with the car theme, all the glass on the yacht is supplied by Isoclima, an Italian company that provides glass to Bentley, McLaren, Mercedes, and BMW.

The 115-foot yacht is propelled by a pair of 1,650hp MAN V12 diesel engines hooked to Fortjes pod-drives, along with three variable-speed generators which allow for a top speed of 21 knots and a maximum cruising range of 3,400 nautical miles. There’s even an optional hybrid drive system which uses the generators to power two compact 20 kW electric motors which the company says will “allow the yacht to reach 6 knots in complete silence for an unlimited period of time.”

Seven examples have already been built for prospective clients, while the GTT 115 Superyacht will make its first public appearance at the Monaco Yacht Show next week. If you really want to lose your mind, head over to Dynamiq’s automotive-style yacht configurator and see how high you can jack the price.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
