The Ferretti Group has launched the second unit of its Riva 88’ Folgore, five months after the launch of the first unit in May.
The second unit of the new Folgore – Italian for lightning – slipped into the water in Ferretti Group’s La Spezia shipyard, where it builds models in the 76-110ft range and which has recently been used to hold private boat shows for customers wanting to visit new models.
Measuring 88ft 4in (26.92m) in length, the Folgore has a beam of 6.31m (20ft 8in) and is another collaboration between Officina Italiana Design – which designs the entire Riva range – Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and its Engineering Department.
The Folgore, heir to one of the brand’s top-selling models, introduces novelties in the exterior and interior design, ergonomics and materials, combining them with iconic details from Riva’s legendary history like mahogany inlays and steel decorations.
