Back in the 1940s, Porsche launched the 356. The brand would go on to launch the even-more iconic, 356 Speedster in 1954. That particular ride went on to become a legend. Today we get a look at a unique luxury day boat that borrows design inspiration from that iconic ride. The Greece-based Seven Seas Yachts designed this beautiful vessel. It measures in at 22.14′ pulling direct influence from the Porsche 356 Speedster.
The ride features a Hermes’ completely handmade interior, which bears a resemblance to the four-wheeled Speedster. It includes analog instrumentation and wooden steering wheel with aluminum inlays. The seven-layer hull includes multiple airtight compartments, a honeycomb structure, and more. The exterior layer is composed of ultra-rugged and lightweight vinyl ester resin. The vessel is powered by a 153hp, inter-cooled, turbocharged, 846cc, SOHC, parallel-twin, though it weighs in at only 1,500lbs. The Hermes provides accommodation for five passengers and offers a top speed of 45mph.
