TecnoRib introduces Pirelli 42 rib with outboard engines, will go as far as Australia
As the official licensee of Pirelli brand inflatables, TecnoRib have resumed their business at full speed. Four units are already built, two are sold down under.
The Pirelli 42 was introduced for the first time at the 2020 Dϋsseldorf Motor Show. Confirming that the production of the Italian shipyard has resumed, no less than four models of Pirelli 42 with outboard engines have been just completed: a version with triple 300 hp Mercury Verado propulsion was launched last month, while a second unit with two 450 hp Mercury Racing engines touched the water some days later.
Two more 13-meter units, still designed by Ted Mannerfelt, will also be delivered in the coming weeks: the first mounts a pair of 400 hp engines, while the second will have again a triple 300 hp powertrain. Both these units have been sold to Australia, and will be shipped down under very soon. A special feature of the outboard version is the open deck layout at the stern, which offers a more sporty and aggressive design at the expense of an area with a sun deck.
Designed by the Swedish designer Ted Mannerfelt, who emphasized its sporty spirit by following the aesthetic codes of previous models of the brand, Pirelli 42 is the latest development introduced by the Italian shipyard. All of the models in the series feature a large focus on relaxation areas, ease of driving, and high performance (estimated above 45 knots). In addition, being a rib and with (tilting) outboard engines, the draft can be potentially minimum. These can be very useful features for safely organizing holidays to uncrowded coves and beaches that are difficult to reach, getting there quickly in the name of relaxation and serenity.
