Porsche to design superyachts

According to THIS at least...

Quote:
Porsche Design is teaming up with Singapore-based yacht concern Royal Falcon Fleet on a new line of luxury catamarans and megayachts. The companies' initial collaborative project will be a high-tech 135-ft. motor catamaran, dubbed the RFF135 (above), to be sold under the Royal Falcon Fleet brand. Porsche Design will design both the exterior hull and the interior of the megayacht, which is expected to do 35 knots and retail in the millions. Royal Falcon Fleet, which dubs its craft "the ultimate in billionaire boys' toys," has engaged cutting edge Swedish-based marine engineering firm Kockums and Australian catamaran builder Incat Crowther for the project's naval architecture needs. No word yet on a completion date.

I like it just because it is different. Its always nice to see how other peoples minds think. However, the forward glass had better be strong, forget bullet proof...I hope they use bomb proof!

Looks like it would make an interesting dinner yacht or water taxi.

It reminds me of the shuttle from the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek...no bad thing as I love Star Trek, but as an exercise in Superyacht design, its a little 'smooth' for my tastes.
