Aston Martin is set to announce its entry into the marine transport business through the luxurious AM37 powerboat. The new water vehicle will officially debut at Milan Design Week.
The global premiere of Aston Martin’s first powerboat happened at the company headquarters in Gaydon, United Kingdom. The opulent AM37 powerboat was created by Quintessence Yachts, which is set to challenge the status quo of the nautical world. One of the objectives of the event was to publicly announce the partnership between Aston Martin and Quintessence Yachts. It took 10 months for the two groups to develop the special powerboat, under the technical support and supervision of Netherlands-based naval architect Mulder Design.
During the presentation, Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer at Aston Martin, explained how their new partnership with Quintessence Yachts will bring new and genuine concepts to the maritime industry. Aston Martin and Mulder stated how the AM37 stands for the ideal symbiosis of luxurious and technical materials, creating a sense of power, albeit understated. They emphasized how the simplicity, perfect proportions and dynamism of the AM37 makes it very unique.
TopGear writes that the AM37 features a combination of design elements from the fields of both maritime and automotive. The power boat has a wooden deck, a swimming platform, an electronic anchor system that is deployed through a tablet, a remote-controlled coffee machine, refrigerator and air-conditioner, an electrical-powered bimini top and fingerprint recognition.
Buyers can also add optional features such as underwater lights and a cocktail bar. Similar to its luxury cars, Aston Martin also offers a lot of customization options in terms of colors and materials in its new powerboat.
The AM37 powerboat also offers buyers some choices in terms of its engine. There is an option between propeller and jet thruster propulsion. There are also three powertrain choices. The base model includes a pick between a two 370bhp diesel engine and twin 430bhp petrol engine. The top model, AM37 S, is powered by twin 520bhp petrol engines, giving it a top speed of 52 knots or close to 60mph.
Bas Mulder teased that the AM37 also features the exciting Q element, which they cannot share more about at the time.
According to its makers, the AM37 offers the same excellent performance, handling and comfort that Aston Martin cars have provided clients through the years.
The AM37 powerboat will launch at Milan Design Week in mid-April 2016. More updates and details are expected soon.
