Elan GT6 review: This Porsche-designed yacht is something to be proud of 0shares
Elan’s new flagship, the GT6, is the first Porsche-designed sailing yacht. Toby Hodges takes it for a test sail in the Firth of Clyde
Product Overview
A few decades ago having a supercar was a real status symbol, a prominent way of shouting ‘look at me!’. Times and trends have changed, as has, arguably, the appetite for such ostentation. So why, I wondered, would a 70-year-old shipyard with a well-regarded product line need to turn to Porsche for the design of its new flagship?
Over the years we’ve seen various car manufacturers and designers get involved with yacht design, yet few stand out for their success. However, as I was to find out with this new Elan GT6, the relationship between Elan and Porsche runs deeper than simply exploiting a name for marketing gain.
