ABT and Marian have presented its jointly developed the electric sports boat the ABT | Marian M 800-R at the Formula E race in Monaco at Port Hercule on April 26. The ABT | Marian M 800-R, manufactured at the Marian shipyard in Austria, is a limited edition with only 20 units created priced at €450,000 ($480,834).
The boat was based on the Marian M 800 Spyder and is powered by a 250 kW Next-Gen-E motor supplied by a lithium-ion battery. The boat has a top speed of 85 km/h and can be operated in various driving modes with its ABT mode able to mobilise 450 kW. Its cruise mode provides a long range of 80 km. Coupled with a shaft propulsion, this design guarantees maximum cruising comfort and space for nine passengers.
The design elements created and constructed by ABT, such as the Alcantara seats with seat back shells, combine elegance with functionality and offer passengers maximum comfort while driving. A particularly striking feature is the air intake for the engine compartment, which is based on the characteristic wheel arch vents of the ABT Sportsline special models. The ambient and underwater lighting creates a fascinating atmosphere on board, both by day and by night.
Additional fine visual highlights inside the electric yacht include an illuminated multifunction steering wheel, elegant black cleats, which can be retracted if desired, and a state-of-the-art 12-inch multifunction display. This offers not only a GPS chart plotter, but also a water temperature display and an echo sounder.
