Porsche Porsche Kineo te koop (1993) in Porto Badino, Italië

A 27ft Porsche with two 380hp Mercruiser 454 MAG 7.4Ltr V8 Engines - need we say more!!! The design excellence collaboration between Porsche, FABIO BUZZI and THYSSEN KRUPP combine beautifully resulting in this 69 knot offshore racer. Porsche Powerboats only approved one of the three Kineo 27 hulls built. Designed between 1980 - 1990 by Porsche Design at Zell am See in Austria. The story of this boat started with the Austrian Entrepreneur Horst Stross who initiated the project together with F.A. Porsche Design in the early 90s. His aim was to build a unique offshore racer and therefore engaged powerboat specialist Fabio Buzzi and the submarine specialists of ThyssenKrupp Nordseewerke for the construction of this project . After initial tests with original Porsche Engines, the engineers decided to install two powerful Mercury performance engines with 7,4 litres volume each to bring the boat to a top speed of 69 knots. Only the best materials from the submarine industry such as Kevlar and Airetex foam were used, as well as high end instruments, fittings and materials. During the entire design and construction phase engineers from Porsche made sure excellent design standards were met. Only one boat came to completion as series one after several pilot versions. The boat was then stored and remained unused for years; she has since been carefully recommissioned in 2013 and again received a complete repaint in 2017 to bring her back to full elegance and power.
