**The Icon: BMW-Designed Electric Boat Unveiled at Cannes Film Festival**

Last year at the Cannes Film Festival, BMW Designworks revealed a groundbreaking creation – The Icon, a futuristic boat designed in collaboration with German manufacturer Tyde. This innovative vessel, reminiscent of the Tesla Cybertruck in its disruptive design, stands out as the first battery-powered luxury yacht of its kind.

**Cutting-Edge Features of The Icon**

– The 43-foot yacht features a flat trimaran-style hull with hydrofoils, allowing it to hover above the water and create minimal waves.
– The exterior is predominantly glass, providing a light-filled interior but compromising on privacy.
– Powered by six 40kWh battery packs from the BMW i3, The Icon boasts a top speed of 27 knots and a cruising range of over 50 nautical miles.

**High-Tech Cabin Designed by BMW**

The cabin of The Icon is a marvel of modern design, featuring futuristic furniture and a 32-inch 6K touchscreen display. Crafted by BMW Designworks, the cabin includes rotating helm seats, a BMW-designed helm station, and a yoke steering wheel. Each furniture piece is made from grainy metal, reflecting light like waves on the water.
