Porsche’s cooperation with Austrian-based Frauscher Shipyard goes into the next round: After the open day cruiser 850 Fantom Air, the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom now comes as a classic runabout with a closed foredeck and cabin. The new sports boat also features the all-electric drive unit from the Porsche Macan Turbo.
Porsche is committed to being a leader in sustainable mobility, and an ambition that is not limited to racing and road cars alone. Together with the renowned Frauscher Shipyard in Austria, the sports car manufacturer has developed an electric boat that is also intended to impress on the water with its quintessential Porsche E-Performance – now in two different versions. While two-door Porsche sports cars are available as coupés and convertibles, among other variants, Frauscher offers a choice between the Runabout and the Air – in other words, between a closed foredeck, a classic look, a cabin under the bow and a centre helm with seating and lounging options on the bow as well. After the open eFantom, which was named the best electric boat in November 2024 in the prestigious Best of Boats Award, the closed version Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom is now also available as part of the limited First Edition of 25 units.
“Like our sports cars, the eFantom offers an exclusive experience and extraordinary performance. As an elegant day cruiser with an innovative, powerful drive system, she sets new standards in the maritime world. We are continuing along this path together with Frauscher and the new 850 Fantom,” says Lutz Meschke, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board and Board Member for Finance and IT at Porsche AG.
