There is NO substitute

If you know the significance of this headline, or that the 1998, 911 Carerra was the first water-cooled production Porsche, then the Dynamiq GTT 115 could well be the superyacht you’ve been looking for.

It’s often said that Porsche drivers are the only real car enthusiasts. Granted, some Italian-made supercars are quicker, but non require the subtle driver inputs needed to hustle along a rear-engined 911. Heck, most of the Porsche range from the base 718 Cayman to the rip-roaring 911 GT3 can be ordered with an old-fashioned manual gearbox – it’s slower than Porsche’s own dual-clutch PDK system, but it’s oh-so-more involving.

Porsche owners are a different breed of enthusiast: ardent, intense, fanatical and it’s this passion that has enabled the Stuttgart brand to expand so easily into the luxury lifestyle market.

The 911 of the Sea

Dynamiq has teamed up with Studio F.A. Porsche to create a superyacht injected with the Stuttgart brand’s considerable DNA

“Taking the spirit of high-performance sportscar styling to the high seas, the Dynamiq GTT 115 is designed to appeal to car lovers and forward-thinking yacht owners who appreciate the advantages of speed, style and our philosophy of intelligent performance,” says Roland Heiler, Managing Director of Studio F. A. Porsche. Yes, that Studio F. A. Porsche.

As far as design agencies go, few can match the experience of Studio F. A. Porsche. Whether it’s designing a wristwatch, or a Miami skyscraper (yes, they really did) the studio can transform brands into experiences, while guaranteeing the highest standards on every project it initiates. As it happens, we’re on board the studio’s latest creation, Dynamiq’s GTT 115 - the first ever Porsche-injected superyacht.

Many of the GTT 115’s Porsche nuances are obvious, once you spot them, that is. The black waterline stripe with its Carrera script is a classic detail, as is the hartop’s Targa style treatment. And the more observant will have spotted the port and starboard cleat openings, which are shaped like 911 rear light clusters. [To be continued...]
