Home » News » First Close Up Look at Porsche Luxury Motor Yacht November 20, 2017

Earlier this year we filed our first report about the collaboration between Porsche and Dynamiq that resulted in the first luxury motor yacht to carry the legendary Porsche brand, GTT 115.

The GTT 115 came on the heels of several other luxury automakers that have been jumping into the design and build of yachts and superyachts. Prior to the introduction of the Porsche yacht, back in 2016 we reported on the 46 feet long, Arrow 460 Granturismo, the first luxury yacht designed and built by Mercedes-Benz, and the AM37, which was built by Quintessence Yachts in conjunction with Aston Martin. So far in 2017, in addition to the GTT 115, we introduced you to the Lexus Sport Yacht, and the Niniette 66, a collaboration between Palmer Johnson and Bugatti.

These kinds of collaborations between luxury yacht makers and luxury car makers, are redefining the term “superyacht,” to not necessarily only mean “super” in size, but super in terms of performance, style and luxury.

The “GTT” in the GTT 115, stands for Grand Turismo Transatlantic. Known for such iconic sports cars as the Porsche 911 and Boxster, the GTT 115 is the German auto maker’s first foray into the superyacht market.  In development for most of this year, a first look at the highly anticipated collaboration between Dynamiq and Porches has become available. Like the previews of a blockbuster movie, the makers of the extraordinary unique luxury yacht have released a video “trailer,” to introduce the world to the GTT 115.

The hybrid superyacht made her debut at the recent Monaco Yacht Show. Speaking at the show, Dynamiq CEO, Sergei Dobroserdov, hailed the GTT 115 as “the culmination of a long process of design and development to introduce a new kind of superyacht to the market”.

The Porsche superyacht will sell for approximately 10.3 million dollars. Expected to appeal to a very exclusive clientele, there will only be seven ever built, all of which have already been spoken for.

Porsche’s Studio FA, the design group that was responsible for creating Porsche sunglasses, watches and other branded luxury items, took charge of the boat’s exterior styling, mimicking the body shapes that have made Porsche’s cars instantly recognizable the world over. Roland Heiler, CEO of Studio F.A. Porsche, added, “Taking the spirit of high-performance sportscar styling to the high seas, the Dynamiq GTT 115 is designed to appeal to car lovers and forward-thinking yacht owners who appreciate the advantages of speed, style and our philosophy of intelligent performance.”

Other Features of the Porsche GTT 115 Superyacht

The sleek and sexy lines of the GTT 115, are definitely Porsche inspired, however, its interiors, rather than being sports car sparse, are every inch superyacht luxury.  Fitted with seven-foot-high ceilings on both decks, the spacious cabins are lined with carbon fiber and marble detailing throughout, with furniture and throw-pillows finished with the same material as the seats in a Porsche 911R. The GTT 115 is an all-aluminum yacht, and features an exclusive stabilization system, with a round-bilge hull, finished in Rhodium silver metallic paint.

The boat has been designed to cater for a maximum of 12 people – six passengers and six crew members. She runs on two MAN diesel engines with a combined 12,594 horsepower, and also runs as a hybrid using two 20.8 kW electric motors.

Owing to a legacy that built its reputation on the Autobahn, at full tilt, the GTT 115 Hybrid can reach a top speed of over 21 knots, when operating on the diesel engines alone.

Dynamiq has also said they plan on creating two smaller 100-foot and 85-foot versions of the yacht.

Other Unique Luxury Motor Yachts

If you are an auto enthusiast that is as excited as we are about these collaborations between designers of fine automobiles and yacht builders, we would be happy to see if we could “put you behind the wheel” of one of these incredible new machines!

If a more traditional, but equally luxurious motor yacht is more your speed, we can certainly help you there as well. Feel free to contact us about any motor yacht in our new or pre-owned listings.
