CUPRA continues to move forward in its goal to create a universe of experiences around the car. After announcing their #partnership at the #cupra Anniversary digital event last February, the unconventional challenger brand and #deantonioyachts present their first collaboration to the world. The two brands have worked together on the #design of the #deantonioyachts D28 Formentor, a high-performance #yacht inspired by the first model uniquely designed and developed for the #automotive brand, the #cupra Formentor. This showboat is a unique #design exercise that will lay the groundwork for the launch of a special limited edition of the D28 in the iconic #cupra colours and finishes that will go on sale at the end of 2021.

The result of the first collaboration between #cupra and the Barcelona-based shipyard is a 400PS showboat capable of reaching a top speed of 40 knots. The exterior #design stands out for its simple lines and dynamic character, while the Petrol Blue colour and the copper tone trim finishes add elegance and sportiness. The #deantonioyachts D28 Formentor is currently exhibited at Marina Vela in the port of Barcelona together with the #cupra Formentor VZ5, a special limited edition version of the high-performance crossover SUV equipped with a 390PS five-cylinder engine, of which only 7,000 units will be produced.

After enjoying the first few miles on board the #deantonioyachts D28 Formentor, #cupra President Wayne Griffiths said: “CUPRA is much more than a car brand, it’s a lifestyle. It’s living unique experiences, challenging the status quo and feeling emotions. Our cooperation with #deantonioyachts is just one more proof of it, as we share the same values and ambition: to inspire the world from Barcelona. The #deantonioyachts D28 Formentor, inspired by our #cupra Formentor VZ5, will be just the first project of many. We are both committed to sustainable mobility and already looking into the creation of an e-HYBRID #yacht for next year.” Griffiths was accompanied by De Antonio Yachts’ co-founders Marc de Antonio and Stan Chmielewski, as well as the #cupra Director of Strategy, Business Development and Operations, Antonino Labate.
