Sussurro
1998
This is Sussurro
The radical looking and revolutionarily propelled Sussurro allowed a keen diver to reach remote areas in double-quick time. Having a 49.50-metre yacht attain 46 knots required engineering a remarkable lightweight interior using aviation-industry specs for the floating honeycomb and aluminium sub-floors. The 200-tonne yacht also showcased an optimal balance of power and design, with a triple propulsion whammy of diesels, gas turbines and waterjets. Sussurro’s advanced deep-V hull concept offered superb comfort and course tracking at all speeds.
