A 100-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, the same as in the upcoming Macan EV, provides energy to the boat's motor which itself is connected to the marine Z-drive through a shaft.
Before selling a single all-electric vehicle based on the new Premium Platform Electric architecture, German sports car maker Porsche partnered with Austrian luxury shipyard Frauscher to transplant the electric powertrain of the upcoming Macan EV crossover into a sports boat named the 850 Fantom Air. Teased back in June, the first production boat set sail on the Italian Lake Garda, powered by a permanently excited synchronous electric motor whose peak power has been limited to 536 horsepower .
In Docking mode, which is designed for harbor driving, the speed is limited to eight knots , while the Sport Plus mode unlocks the boat’s top speed of 46 knots . The driving range depends on the traveling speed, with Porsche saying the eFantom can go for about one hour or 28 miles at a cruising speed of 22 knots , while a typical trip that involves both slow and high-speed travel can result in a journey time of two to three hours.
