Because You Can't Let AMG Rule The Waterways

The Porsche Superyacht Isn't Expensive Enough



It was only a matter of time before the quaint carmaker extended its reach into the world of yachting. It’s a very natural progression, you see. So, this is what design house Studio F.A. Porsche and superyacht builder Dynamiq teamed up to create: the GTT 115 Hybrid.

It wasn’t the “twin 1213kW MAN engines paired with the latest Fortjes 5000 pods” or the hybrid power system from the “twin 45kW Fischer Panda variable-speed generators located in the bow.” It wasn’t the deck cushions upholstered with a 911 R-esque houndstooth design (I have three!). Nor was it the nearly 115-foot length or its high, seven-foot plus ceilings (even on the lower decks!) It wasn’t even the exclusivity—only seven of these things would be made.

No, none of those were the problem. It was the price: €11.9 million, or about $13 million.

Thirteen million dollars only equated to about 15 Porsche 918 Spyders.
