ictory Design chose the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 for the world première of the spectacular 170ft Bolide, the 50m flagship of the Bolide range which will span models of 60 to 170 feet. “These are true collector’s jewels, not serially but custombuilt: each unit is unique and exclusive. Designed for those who love the thrill of speed, but delivering it in total safety and reducing environmental impact,” declared Brunello Acampora proudly. The Bolide 170 comes in both a light alloy multi-motor diesel version with triple staggered geometry that delivers sprint speeds of up to 50 knots, and a special composite hybrid version with four gas turbines and electric motors, with a top speed of over 70 knots. The Bolide 170’s large open plan spaces create an osmotic relationship with the sea and surrounding world, offering an owner’s suite, four guest cabins and a large crew quarter. Architect Stefano Faggioni has teamed up with the Victory team and has delivered superb Italian design, seaworthiness born of experience and nods to the likes of luxe leather luggage. The aft beach club is huge for a craft of this size too with folding terraces, transformers, and a ‘bord de mer’ swimming pool. The 170 footer’s signatures, however, are fuel economy (it drinks 50% less than a similar craft), reduced emissions and easy handling thanks to its HMI. victory.it
