signed the contractThis Rare 1964 Race Car Was Chevy’s Response to the Shelby Cobra. It Could Be Yours for $2 Million.The newcomer, which was assigned hull number 146, features exterior styling and interiors by Nuvolari Lenard. The renowned Italian studio has worked on no less than 10 vessels with CRN since 2001, including the 180-footshowcases sleek lines and an elegant aesthetic that reflects the owner’s vision, according to CRN.
As you might expect, the yacht is full to the brim with luxurious amenities. The stern sports a giant beach club with a full arsenal of water toys for guests, while the upper deck is home to a touch-and-go helipad that can facilitate comings and goings at sea. To top it off, the dive center will be stocked with all the gear required to explore the deep ocean.
Oddly, the most exciting part of the megayacht could be its eco credentials. Hull 146 will be powered by a state-of-the-art diesel-electricpropulsion system that is more efficient and uses less fuel than conventional setups, CRN says. The yard didn’t give any estimates regarding speed and range. In addition, the yacht will be equipped with an innovative heat recovery system that uses the thermal energy from the generators to heat the water in the pools, the water boilers, and the deck washing system to further reduce fuel consumption.
Hull 146 isn’t the only CRN in the pipeline. Three other custom cruisers are currently being built at Ferretti’s superyacht yard in Ancona: the 220-foot Project Maranello, the 230-foot Project Thunderball, and an epic 279-footer. It is certainly going to be a busy year for CRN.Rachel Cormack is a digital editor at Robb Report.
