Sailing Time? Richard Mille’s New Regatta Will Showcase Vintage Yachts Racing Across the English Channel
Penned by the folks at the German marque’s Designworks studio, the vessel features a flat hull with a lightweight, origami-like superstructure. Modern LEDs run across the bow and stern to add to the futuristic aesthetic, while expansive glass panels will provide seafarers with uninterrupted views. The Icon is fitted with foils that ensure smooth cruising across the water with minimal drag and maximum efficiency and speed. In fact, BMW says the wings reduce the energy requirement by up to 80 percent compared to a conventional planing boat. The 43-footer is also equipped with a powerful electric propulsion system that runs on high-voltage batteries supplied by BMW.
Like any good bimmer, the Icon will be ultra comfortable. With a beam of nearly 15 feet, the newcomer has a generous aft entertaining area and a very spacious lounge entrance. The lounge is adorned with designer furniture and a kaleidoscopic carpet that uses metal sheeting to reflect sunlight like waves on the sea. The yacht also sports 360-degree rotating seats and a tablet-based infotainment system.
To top it off, the Icon is outfitted with a Dolby Atmos system. BMW enlisted two-time Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer to develop all the function tones and an accompanying soundscape. “The revolutionary acoustic creations conjured by the Hollywood composer soundtrack a new era in the enjoyment of sustainable travel on water,” the automaker said in a statement.Enes Kucevic Photography
