In cooperation with the Austrian specialist for electric yachts Marian, ABT Sportsline dares to take the proverbial plunge into the water and presents its first electric boat at the Formula E race in Monaco at Port Hercule, Pontoon on April 26th: the ABT Marian M 800-R delivers up to 450 kW, reaches a top speed of up to 85 km/h and boasts an elegant design. The basis for the ABT I Marian M 800-R is the Marian M 800 Spyder from the boat builder in St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee. The hull is specially designed for the electric drive as a particularly efficient semi-glider. This not only gives the boat a long range of 80 kilometers in cruise mode, but also a remarkable top speed of 85 km/h. Coupled with a shaft drive, this design guarantees maximum cruising comfort. Thanks to its special design, the foredeck offers comfortable seating and lounging for up to nine passengers.
The M 800-R is powered by a 250 kW Next-Gen-E motor, which is fed by a lithium-ion battery with 121.5 kWh and an integrated charging system. The CCS charger enables fast charging with up to 150 kW, which achieves a charge in less than an hour, while the Juice Booster supports charges of up to 22 kW. Both conventional charging stations for electric cars and maritime charging stations can be used.
The M 800-R can be operated in various riding modes. In ABT MODE, up to 450 kW is mobilized by activating all water pumps and optimizing cooling. In addition to the sporty driving mode, there are two other programs: In PORT MODE, the power is reduced to 15 kW for safe manoeuvrability in harbours, for example, while CRUISE MODE is pleasantly quiet and optimized for efficient long-distance driving with up to 250 kW. The ABT I Marian M 800-R is not only visually stunning, but also smartly designed to adapt to different waters thanks to its suitability for fresh and salt water. There is also an over-the-air update and diagnostic capability, which allows the boat to be diagnosed remotely if necessary.
A state-of-the-art 12-inch multifunction display offers not only a GPS chart plotter, but also a water temperature display and an echo sounder. The choice of red leather upholstery pays homage to ABT Sportsline’s corporate colors and gives the unique electric yacht a touch of dynamism and elegance that underlines its personality. This top-class sports boat is available in anthracite and white.
The ABT | Marian M 800-R is being built in a limited edition of 20 units at the Marian shipyard in Austria. The price is 450,000 euros (excl. VAT). On April 26, the maritime masterpiece was presented to the public for the first time at the Formula E race in Monaco at Port Hercule, Pontoon F. Following the premiere, a roadshow is planned at Wolfgangsee, Wörthersee, Starnberger See and Gardasee.
