- It aims to break the record for the fastest circumnavigation.
- The yacht will be entirely self-sufficient, generating its own power.
Ferrari, renowned for its high-performance sports cars, is embarking on a new venture into ocean racing with the development of the Hypersail, a 100-foot foiling yacht. This ambitious project, scheduled for launch next year, aims to set a new world record for the fastest circumnavigation.
The Hypersail is designed as a completely self-sufficient vessel, utilizing solar panels, wind turbines, and energy generated by its crew. This innovative approach underscores Ferrari's continuous evolution in energy management technology, extending its engineering prowess beyond automobiles.
Leveraging technologies from its automotive designs, such as electric powertrains and winch systems, Ferrari seeks to test and refine its innovations in the demanding marine environment. The yacht's development is expected to continue until 2031, with a primary goal of challenging the Jules Verne record, currently held at 40 days, 10 hours, and 45 minutes.
