In a unique project exclusively for this year’s America’s Cup, VETUS collaborated with the event’s Global Partner, CUPRA, and aluminium boatbuilders BravaBoats to create a sailing version of the CUPRA Terramar car.
The unconventional floating CUPRA Terramar America’s Cup vehicle is being used to lead the AC75 yachts towards the racecourse during the Louis Vuitton Cup final match, and as a hotspot for conducting interviews and to host streamers and influencers who are shooting content.
Seamlessly adjusting its leading marine technology for the automotive sector, the team at VETUS Spain supplied multiple systems, including engine, exhaust, fuel and steering solutions, plus bow and stern thrusters, joysticks and batteries, for integration within the car’s trimaran-like base and modified driver’s cockpit.
The VETUS specialists skilfully dimensioned the systems so the platform could be navigated across the water directly from inside the car, with the VETUS joysticks integrated into a redesigned dashboard for easy and independent control of the marine electronic manoeuvring and propulsion.
