The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom sets a new speed record at the 2025 Monaco Energy Boat Challenge.
The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom gave an impressive demonstration of its capabilities at the 12th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. With a record average speed of 49.84 knots, it not only eclipsed the competition in the speed competition, but also set a new all-time record in the history of the event.
“We are extremely proud to have shown the full potential of the Frauscher x Porsche at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. The use of Porsche technology directly from the new electric Macan and the boatbuilding expertise of the team at the Frauscher shipyard has resulted in a unique electric boat,” says Stefan Frauscher, Managing Director of the Frauscher shipyard.
A new era in electric boating
The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge is recognised as one of the leading innovation platforms in the field of sustainable maritime mobility. The aim of the challenge is to promote zero-emission powertrain technologies and test them in real-world conditions. In the speed category, the average speed is measured over two runs of 1 kilometre each (back and forth) – a practical scenario that reflects efficiency and performance in real terms.
The boat used is 100% identical to the production model – allowing Frauscher x Porsche customers to experience the same performance on their own trips.
The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom was entered in the Open Sea Class and beat a high-calibre field of international teams. This success not only underlines the technical innovation of the boat, but also marks an important milestone in the development of electric propulsion solutions in the maritime sector.
The Frauscher x Porsche project
The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom and the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom AIR are available in a limited edition of 25 units. Of these, 12 have already been sold to international customers on three continents.
The two Frauscher x Porsche models are the result of a close cooperation between the Frauscher shipyard, one of Europe’s most renowned boatbuilders, and Porsche, the innovation leader in the field of electric mobility.
At the heart of the project is the drive system from the new all-electric Porsche Macan, which has been specially adapted for use on the water. Combined with the iconic hull shape of the Frauscher 858 Fantom, the result is an electric day cruiser with exceptional performance, state-of-the-art technology and stylish aesthetics.
The highlights include:
– 800-volt technology for fast charging and maximum power
– Innovative drive management based on the Macan Powertrain
– Seamless integration of Porsche design and Frauscher styling language
– High–quality craftsmanship and materials
– Range sufficient for all-day trips with emission-free operation
Interested customers can request exclusive consultation and configuration appointments through the official channels of the Frauscher shipyard or selected distributors.
