Riva Aquariva designed by Marc Newson

It's another fantastic shot for Horizontal alliances. A industrial design superstar collaborated with Italian Iconic Yacht film.
Aquarama, Newson infused identifiable Riva attributes while keeping within his own signature style. A streamlined instrument panel, a wrap-around laminated glass windshield, separated driver and passenger seats, handles and hooks that disappear when not in use, a re-imagined stern and state-of-the-art transmission all bring the boat to new standards without compromising its history as an opulent pleasure vessel.
Newson's Aquariva will debut in September 2010 and will be available worldwide through NYC's Gagosian Gallery.

Go green! Transcendence, the fastest Zero emission Megayacht in the world (so far)

Normaly the maxium speed not over 15 knots driving by electric power. Transcendence could be rearch a top speed of 25 knots by employing Mercedes Benz / MTU Bluetec engines. it,s amazing! looking forward of seeing more details about the yacht.

“Transcendence is the Carbon Offset Alternative to comparable Hi-performance Megayachts. Her overall size (49m) and maximum speed (25knots) are the same, but alas, her Carbon Footprint is far smaller, often reaching zero”, – commented Richard Sauter, the head of design department.
