Vanquish unveils new VQ90 Veloce
The VQ90 Veloce is a 28.40-metre variation on the successful VQ designs and features an exciting and powerful profile. While all Vanquish yachts stand out for their potent performance, striking appearance and high degree of comfort, theVanquish VQ90 Veloceis designed to also retain those properties at speeds of 55+ knots. Veloce is Italian for ‘fast’ and the VQ90 Veloce will immediately become one of the ten swiftest superyachts in the world thanks to the deployment of three MTU 16V 2000 engines and Arneson surface drives in a super streamlined deep-V hull.
Demanding individuals
“All Vanquish clients are demanding individualists on the lookout for extravagant and revolutionary designs that provide extreme performances,” comments Tom Steentjes, CEO of Vanquish Yachts. “The VQ90 Veloce will combine a breakneck speed of at least 55 knots with the manoeuvrability of a 60-footer and exceptional comfort and stability. The design lends itself particularly well to the kind of innovations and unique ideas that have yet to be seen on other superyachts. We look forward to being challenged to make an extreme boat together with the owners.”
The design of the VQ90 Veloce is also characterised by a large open deck plan providing the best possible setting for al fresco entertainment. Brian’s Custom Audio will take care of designing, building and installing a sound system which would be at home in one of Ibiza’s legendary clubs. And to optimise climate control, the Veloce will be equipped with a spectacular panorama hardtop with a targa sunroof.
Ready to custom
“At Vanquish we are able to offer an incredible degree of flexibility in fully customising the interior,” Steentjes adds. “We have devised four different layouts for between eight and ten guests. To ensure optimum comfort we are working together with the finest suppliers of acoustic insulation in the world. And the design, layout and equipment in the galley will be taken care of by top Swiss TV chef René Schudel.”
A second version of the VQ90 will also be available with engines that are somewhat less ambitious: they will provide a still-impressive top speed in excess of 40 knots, very much in the appropriate range for this sleek design.
