About the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air

The Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom Air places Porsche electric-vehicle hardware in the open-deck hull of Frauscher's 858 Fantom Air. Its permanently excited synchronous motor delivers 170 kW continuously and up to 400 kW, drawing from a 100 kWh gross battery related to the electric Macan's platform. Porsche and Frauscher publish a 46-knot maximum in Sport Plus, a 22-knot cruising speed and a 45-kilometre range at that cruise setting. The cockpit carries clear Porsche cues, including the steering wheel, five-gauge instrument arrangement and heavily bolstered front seats. Nine people can be carried under its CE Category C rating. This is a premium performance day boat with genuine series engineering, but range at high speed and access to suitable fast charging deserve close attention before purchase.

Luxury day-boating buyers who prioritize acceleration and design
Owners with access to high-capacity shore power or compatible DC charging

Performance in Context

Porsche's test figures list 46 knots maximum, 22 knots cruise and 45 kilometres at cruising speed with two people aboard. A mixed-use profile is described as two to three hours. Payload, water state, temperature and repeated high-speed running can reduce range, so buyers should request the latest sea-trial data for their configuration.

Battery and Charging

The 800-volt system accepts more than 250 kW at a suitable DC station, with Porsche quoting well under 30 minutes from 10 to 80 percent in ideal conditions. An 11 kW AC charger is standard. Real charging performance depends on the marina connection, charger communication and battery temperature.

Availability and Pricing

Frauscher handles sales, build specification and after-sales support. The original first edition was limited to 25 boats, and current pricing should be requested directly rather than inferred from its launch-era figure. Confirm production slot, destination taxes, charging hardware and commissioning in the quotation.
