Together with the renowned Frauscher Shipyard in Austria, Porsche has developed an electric boat that is also intended to impress on the water with its 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 center 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 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.
For the technology transfer from the road to the water, Porsche has deployed the most powerful variant of the all-electric SUV—the rear-axle engine of the Macan Turbo.
The drive of Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom and 850 Fantom Air. High-voltage battery and PSM motor come from the Porsche Macan Turbo.
In the boat, the permanently excited synchronous motor can deliver up to 400 kW. It sits in the hull of the boat and is directly controlled via a Z-drive. The control units are housed in a waterproof box emblazoned with the Porsche logo. The efficiency of the motor is optimised by state-of-the-art power electronics and the use of silicon carbide in the pulse inverter enables particularly high switching frequencies. The high-voltage battery with a gross capacity of 100 kWh also comes from the Macan. The wire-rope mount suspension absorbs the immense shocks that inevitably occur in waves and at high speeds.
The new 850 Fantom has space for up to seven passengers. The swimming platform at the rear leads to a generous lounge area with comfortable sunbathing pads. Studio F. A. Porsche in Zell am See and Style Porsche in Weissach played a major role in the design of the cockpit.
The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom starts at €572,934 net and is manufactured at the Frauscher shipyard in Ohlsdorf, Upper Austria. Porsche supplies the HV battery and drive system including the control unit as pre-assembled modules. Frauscher handles final assembly, the sales logistics and the after sales management.
