Highly anticipated Pershing 82 to be launched in spring 2012

Pershing, brand of the Ferretti Group, launches a new, highly anticipated project: Pershing 82.  The new motor yacht is inspired by its successful predecessor – Pershing 80‘.

Pershing 82′, penciled by the yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni in close collaboration with AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology – the centre of naval research and design of the Ferretti Group) and the team of architects and designers of Centro Stile Ferretti group, features an external profile that is more sleeper and aggressive than that of its predecessor, thanks to the shape of the wider lateral windows which can be opened, providing more interior brightness

After the success of Pershing 74′, Pershing 82′ returns with a sun-deck, that can be easily accessed from an automated hatch and a carbon steel staircase, a little mechanical masterpiece created by AYT in close collaboration with Besenzoni.

The staircase is decentralized and drops automatically into the cockpit by electro-hydraulic control and automatically disappears upwards when closed, freeing the space in the cockpit.

The sun-deck is simple and functional: next to the retractable helm, there are two comfortable lateral chaise longue next to the pilot’s seat, in which a practical minibar has been placed. To complete the layout of the sun-deck at the bow, there are sunbeds with separate and folding backrests; for safety purposes on the sun-deck there are two lateral handles and a pulpit which blend in completely with the aesthetics of the superstructure.

Besides the innovative solutions designed for the external structure and for the design below deck, the new Pershing 82′ was developed to ensure maximum performance at sea: two powerful coupled MTU 16 V M93 of 2435 mhp (1792 kW) with Searex SR140S surface propellers of ZF that guarantee a maximum speed of 45 knots and a cruising speed of 40 knots and high levels of comfort, besides the autonomy of more than 300 nautical miles. The Autotrim of ZF contributes to the high technological level of this vessel. It is a system that is capable of optimizing performance at any speed automatically.
