Centrostiledesign’s Future-E Is An Electric Yacht Concept With Hydrofoils

Italian design studio Centrostiledesign has imagined a futuristic, foiled yacht that could almost be the boating world’s equivalent of a flying car.

The concept yacht is dubbed the Future-E and would be made from recycled carbon fiber. It would be equipped with two electric motors, ensuring that it produces no emissions and no noise. The yacht’s party trick, though, are the four retractable foils that would allow it to float above the water.

Robb Report notes that the yacht’s foils would extend as it picks up speed and when traveling at 16 knots, it will enter full foiling mode and lift up out of the water, much like a foiled sailing yacht.

Centrostiledesign says the yacht could hit more than 30 knots and has been equipped with an advanced kinematic system with electro-hydraulic actuators and a gyroscope to reduce the impact of the waves, creating a beautifully smooth and comfortable ride. Making the Future-E all the more desirable is the fact that it has been imagined in both Coupe and Convertible guise and sports suicide doors.

Detailed renderings show the interior of the Future-E that is laden with large touchscreens housing all important controls. There is a large captain’s chair and a second-row of seats that can accommodate three passengers.

The Future-E comes from the mind of yacht designer Davide Cipriani, the managing director of Centrostiledesign. It is unclear if the company has any plans to actually commission its foiled yacht but if it did, we can imagine it would prove quite popular among the rich and famous.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i

Denver Driver’s Sidewalk Shortcut To Clear Construction Turns Into Destruction Derby

Image
I’m sure we all know what it feels like to make a bad decision that leads to an even worse decision, only to later realize that we should have just cut our losses at the beginning. But I bet very few of us have likely experienced that nightmarish feeling on quite as large and destructive a scale as one driver in Denver, Colorado, recently did. In an incident that appears to have taken place on Champa St., in the city’s central business district, the driver of a Chrysler 300 found themselves on a sidewalk, next to the street, which was under construction. Video of the incident was captured by a pedestrian, and posted to Reddit . Unfortunately, we don’t know how this all started, as the footage starts in media res , with the Chrysler already deep into the construction zone, trying to force its way through. advertisement scroll to continue Read: If You Don’t Crash A Ford Mustang At First, Try Again And You Shall Succeed Video Reddit On an apparent walkway for pedestrians,

The 2024 BMW 5-Series Touring Can’t Come Soon Enough, Here’s What It May Look Like

Image
This story contains independent renderings that are neither related to nor endorsed by BMW. BMW recently launched the 2024 5-Series in ICE and all-electric i5 guises, but it has not yet unveiled the car in Touring form. While we don’t have a date as to when this new version will be showcased to the world, a rendering artist by the name of Theottle has also imagined how such a car could look. The process of turning the new 5-Series sedan into an estate on Photoshop is relatively easy. To do so, Theottle started out with the roof from the current 3-Series Touring and pasted it onto the 5-Series. As standard, the roof of the 3-Series Touring suits the new 5-Series quite well but some alterations had to be made to ensure everything was perfect. For example, the artist tweaked the profile of the roof to better match the 5-Series while also painting it in the same shade of red that the sedan was presented in last week. The chrome side window surrounds of the 3-Series Touring have also
