Cool BMW Group Designworks USA Dives Into Performance Yachts

Float Your Boat: BMW Group Designworks USA Dives Into Performance Yachts





MUNICH — If you've ever had fantasies about sailing your Bimmer into the sunset, you're going to love this collaboration.

BMW Group Designworks USA and Belgian boat company Zeydon have launched the Zeydon Z60, a 60-foot offshore yacht that incorporates much of the design philosophy of the German automaker. Zeydon explains that it was drawn to the BMW subsidiary because of its "strong and distinctive approach toward design."

The Zeydon Z60 is a kind of design hybrid, which melds the characteristics of testosterone-laden offshore yachts with more sedate luxury cruisers. The two describe the end result as a "luxury sports cruiser." The interior has a minimalist look with high-quality materials. The Zeydon Z60 is powered by a 110-horsepower Yanmar 4JH4 engine with a full battened mail sail and a 238-gallon fuel tank.

Between five and 10 of the yachts will be produced per year, starting in the second half of this year.

What this means to you: BMW seems like a natural on the high seas.

BMW are really becoming one of the design giants in the transport industry.

Designing automobiles, trucks, bikes, cycles, planes, trains, and now also vessels.
