salomé yachts: former bugatti designer debuts first sports tender

sports car designer etienne salomé has penned some of most beautiful cars on the roads today, including none other than the one-off bugatti ‘la voiture noire‘. his sporty, sculptural ideas have now turned nautical, though, as he launches the eponymous brand salomé yachts. and, as the first concept, he has designed a 60 knot sports tender inspired by his favorite automobile.

named ‘atlantic’, salomé yachts’ first concept pays homage as well as sources influence from what the designer considers to be the most beautiful car ever made, the bugatti atlantic. the yacht’s smoothly sculpted exterior offers a new meaning to ‘flowing’ as a ‘revolutionary flow-through hull’ allows air to pass through to increase stability and reduce drag. this idea was inspired by formula one aerodynamics. within, it features a garmin glass cockpit that can accommodate nine passengers, and it iss equipped with optional self-docking technology.

12 units of the 12-meter salome yachts ‘atlantic’ are scheduled to debut at the 2020 monaco yacht show. they will all be powered by a pair of volvo penta engines which, combined, produces 880 hp to race the tender to a top speed between 55-60 knots.
