Electric Power Boat – BMW
BMW as a boat house powered like a yacht is the Icon made of mostly glass, this boat is a product of BMW and technology company TYDE, the first unit has been manufactured in Europe and is making its debut this week at the Cannes Film Festival.
The battery-powered model has an epic range of fifty nautical miles at twenty four knots, with a maximum speed of thirty knots. Hydrofoils aim to improve efficiency by up to 80 per cent compared to a conventional hull and contribute to improved speeds and enhanced comfort while underway.
The boat’s design is characterized by a flat trimaran-style hull with “prism-like” layout and a central support for the superstructure. The sea-inspired two-tone exterior is enhanced by strips of LED lights, which carve out the boat’s profile by night.
On the interior, the yacht has good head heights thanks to an “origami” style design which allows passengers to remain standing upright across the cabin. The cabin is separated into twin lounge areas and a BMW-designed helm station, which features rotating helm seats that allow the space to function either as part of the social area or independently. At the centre of the helm station is a 32-inch touch digital control unit with 6k resolution that has been designed to look and feel like the BMW iDrive operating system. Voice control is also integrated into the same system.
The cabin is flanked by glass panels which promote a continuous connection to the water. This ethos is extended to the swim platform on the aft, which spans 4.5-metres and creates a spectacular entrance to the cabin for fun picnic.
Each individual furniture piece is made of grainy metal which reflects sunlight around the cabin like waves on the water.
Coolest picnic boat in the world!
Super cool racing super picnic boat!
