The 125m 7Cs super yacht was created in-house by Drive, a leading company in Marine and Automotive design. Drive’s designers were keen to challenge the traditional proportions of a superyacht and create a vessel that borrowed tried and tested ideas from the automotive industry. This concept yacht has a sunken pool, helipad, retractable cover, Jacuzzi and a boatload of luxury for the interiors. Drive envisages a unique hull with the reverse bow, and has tried to approximate a cruising speed of 20 + knots. This fit for a Russian oil magnate superyacht is concept only for now as the designers seek out an investor.
