March 26, 2020March 26, 2020 by Editorial Team

It is a floating house, a waterfront villa, and a livable yacht. Arkup livable yachts are self-sufficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly. They can also serve as an isolation island far away from coronavirus outbreak.

Live in comfort and luxury in total autonomy, and enjoy life between the sea, the sky and the city.

The self-propelled villa on the water that allows you to dock in a marina or anchor where ever you choose. You will always be surrounded by the water. When elevated on its hydraulic pilings, the vessel is as stable as a house, and protected from the action of the waves. The project was conceived to be sustainable and “future-proof”, from its ability to withstand or avoid extreme weather events, to its self-contained systems that allow fully off-the-grid living.

Time to relax with a glass of Champagne and enjoy the view.

The mobile home on waves is equipped with a solar roof, customized battery capacity and navigation range, a lounging roof terrace or a combination of both. The owner can opt for off-the-grid or connected living. The 4,350 sqft mobile floating mansion is fully solar-powered and harvest rainwater in order to provide the ultimate off-the-grid water-based living experience. The four spuds allow your livable yacht to be completely stabilized and even lifted out of the water, avoiding any sea-sickness.

The livable yacht’s design is tailored to the needs and desires of the owner, who can choose hydraulic spuds or regular anchors, finishes for indoor/outdoor spaces, and tenders.

Livable yachts’ owners won’t have to pay any property taxes in most cases. Utility bills are no longer due thanks to rainwater harvesting and solar power generation. Primary residence or “mobile” vacation home, the livable yachts are multi-purpose: promotional or event venue, quarantine space, restaurant, gym, you can even turn it into a spa.

Arkup #1 is located in Miami, but can be shipped anywhere in the world. The manufacturer says it can help you find a slip with a long term lease in a marina to berth your new home on the water. The floating house is priced between $ 5,500,000 and $ 5,900,000 (a version fully furnished by Artefacto).

MC20 – the first super sports car of the new Maserati Era revealed by Italy’s most revered sailor

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020 by Editorial Team

Maserati MC20 means Maserati Corse 2020 and celebrates that the luxury automotive brand will return to racing.

The super sports car is the first model of the new Maserati Era and it will debut by the end of May in Modena.

Italian luxury car brand Maserati will return to the world of racing with the new MC20.

The eagerly-anticipated Maserati super sports car will be named MC20. The car was developed at the Maserati Innovation Lab, will be built at the historical plant in Viale Ciro Menotti and will have its worldwide debut at the end of May in Modena.

MC20 car underlines the sporting credentials of the new model: MC is the acronym of Maserati Corse and 20 refers to 2020, the year which marks the start of a new phase in Maserati’s history.

The logo of the new model appears on the mainsail of the Maserati Multi 70 trimaran.

Maserati has chosen the Maserati Multi 70 trimaran and Giovanni Soldini’s Team to tell the world the name of its new super sports car, developed, engineered and 100% built in Italy. Giovanni Soldini is Italy’s most revered sailor, an ambassador for Maserati, and the genius behind Maserati Multi 70 trimaran’s successes.

The trimaran set sail in the Caribbean Sea for routine training in the run-up to the RORC Caribbean 600 Race. Unexpectedly, when the sails were hoisted, the new “MC20” logo appeared on the mainsail.

The Modena-based manufacturer has unveiled the car’s name in an unconventional way: the new mainsail graphics with the logo of the super sports car, created by the Centro Stile Maserati, is a tribute to the Brand’s new Era, for which Giovanni Soldini, a long-term friend of the brand, is a leading spokesperson.

In this way, Giovanni Soldini and his crew pay a special tribute to the Trident Brand: underlining the connection between the high-performance trimaran and the new Maserati super sports car. The Maserati Multi 70 trimaran is the “laboratory boat” to which the Modena Innovation Lab engineers have transferred their aerodynamics, technological innovation and performance know-how. And these same values guided the team of engineers and technicians when developing the MC20.

The first racing car to wear the Trident logo was the Tipo 26, where the number indicated the year of manufacture, and in the same way, the MC20 will be the first car born in the new Era of the Modena firm.

The super sports car is the natural evolution of the highly successful MC12, the car that in 2004 marked Maserati’s return to racing after 37 years. The MC12 won 22 races (including 3 victories in the 24 Hours of Spa) and 14 Championship titles across Constructors’ Championship, Drivers’ Championship and Teams’ Championships in the FIA GT from 2004 to 2010.

The model will be built at the Modena Plant where modernization works are already in progress on the production line, which will also accommodate its advanced electric powertrain.

At the same time, to further complete the production areas at the Viale Ciro Menotti Plant, work has already started on a paint shop, a completely new feature for the facility, which will be equipped with advanced innovative low environmental impact technologies.
