Porsche is building ships?
An SUV and a 4 door Porsche is hard enough to swallow. No matter how succesful the Cayenne and the Panamera (probably) are.
But a ship? A Porsche Ship?
Yes. Seriously.
Porsche is moving into the business of boat building. Porsche Design Group just announced a new deal that would have them designing and marketing yachts. The deal is going down with Royal Falcon Fleet, a South East Asian based catamaran and mega-yacht building company.
The yachts look seriously slick and futuristic. The first project is going to be a motor catamaran. The catamaran is being called the RFF135 and will be 135 ft. You would think it will be called Alligator or something; after all they did call one of them Caymann don't they?
Tank test results point to yachting speeds of 35 knots and don't worry Porsche isn't messing around for kicks. They are taking the project seriously, enlisting Kockums which is a Swedish marine engineering company and some serious naval architects.
We will see how Porsche does on the sea.
Hey, they did build tractors, you know.
