urvaceous lines, powerful performance and signature
Porsche design. You would be forgiven if you mistook this
as a description of the latest model from the famed German
car manufacturer. Instead, it applies to a conveyance of
a different variety entirely – in this case, the Studio FA Porsche-
designed, all-aluminium Dynamiq GTT 115 hybrid.
“The big factor that makes this yacht exciting is the design, and
the yard’s ability to step out, be less traditional
and bring in brands like Studio Porsche,” says
Greg Dagge, a Partner with Central Yacht,
Dynamiq’s ambassador in Asia.
A Porsche fan will likely recognise the
distinctive, automotive-inspired details in the
35m motor yacht. It starts with the trademark
Porsche Rhodium Silver paint colour. Then the
sweeping exterior lines imitate the air-intakes on
a Porsche, while the transom is designed to echo
the Porsche Taycan.
The flybridge roof top is inspired by the
Targa roll bar, with the same trapezoid structure.
Even inside, the Porsche DNA is apparent, with
a bold Pepita houndstooth carpet inspired by the
991 R.
“We based this boat on the overall
architecture of the Dynamiq brand, but you will
see the GTT 115 has a different form. The front
of the boat is much softer, for instance, and there
are some elements reminiscent of automotive
features on the exterior,” says Roland Heiler,
Managing Director of Studio FA Porsche.
“For example, the big exterior design feature

The sun deck has a dining table and loungers aft, while a sunbathing area and spa tub is forward

on the side of the yacht, with the air intake; you can see that on cars
like the Porsche Carrera GT. We also tried to create a completely new
transom area, with the stairs coming down in a very unique way.”
Dynamiq is not stopping here with its car collaborations and has
partnered with British luxury marque Bentley Home on the interior
of the 41m GTT 135, which is currently under construction in the
builder’s facilities in Massa, Italy, and due for delivery in summer

    owner to have their yacht designed by the
    designer or car brand of their choice.


DRIVEN BY DESIGN
In recent years, there have been a fair share
of yacht-car collaborations, but the GTT 115
stands apart, says Dynamiq’s CEO and Founder
Sergei Dobroserdov, because this isn’t merely
a co-branding exercise, nor only focused on
aesthetics.
Dynamiq tasked Studio FA Porsche
to translate the builder’s brief for a high-
performance, sporty and efficient superyacht
in the famed Porsche styling. Dobroserdov was
attracted to working with the Porsche studio
due to the design house’s eye for sexy, timeless
styling, but it was the designers’ technical
acumen that sealed the deal.
Dynamiq is a burgeoning builder, but it’s
backed up by a wealth of experience and
expertise, as well as its confidence to call on the
top designers to bring its visions to life.
