Porsche Powerboats only approved one of the three Kineo 27 hulls built. Designed in 1985 by Porsche Design at Zell am See the boat has already become a myth. The story of this boat started with the Austrian Entrepreneur Horst Stross who initiated the project together with F.A.Porsche Design in the early 90s. His aim was to build a unique offshore racer and therefore engaged powerboat specialist FabioBuzzi and the submarine specialists of ThyssenKrupp Nordseewerke for the construction of this project. After initial tests with original Porsche Engines, the engineers decided to install two powerful Mercury performance engines with 7,51 litres volume each to bring the boat to a top speed of 69 knots. Only the best materials from the submarine industry such as Kevlar and Airetexfoam were used, as well as high end instruments, fittings and materials. During the entire design and construction phase engineers from Porsche made sure excellent design standards were met. Only one boat came to completion as series one after several pilot versions. The boat was then stored and remained unused for years; she has since been carefully recomissioned to full elegance and power.

Design
The brain structure of dolphins is unique. Dolphins have a special sonar sense, and their hearing is better than that of any other animals. This makes them skillful navigators. Similar to those ingenious creatures, the solid and safe Kineo 27' has a comfortable and ergonomic design. Its hydraulically-controlled features, its clear operating instrument panel, its perfect sound installation, and its recessed cleats are only a few examples. The leather seats are made by De S, a Swiss first class manufacturer.
Owners Comments
I turned up at Thyssen Krupp boatyard intending to buy a sailing boat and I asked what being stored under a cover and it appeared in the sunlight as a sleeping virgin never used! Four main characteristics offer a thrilling and unique experience:Design (Original FA Porsche, 27 feet length) Tremendous speed (69 knots) Spectacular sound (2 Mercruiser Magnum V8 engines of around 760 horse power) No silencers.ExclusivityThe boat could be chartered to an exclusive audience of true devotees or simply used with pride.She drives like Porsche 911
