The Icon uses “Foiling technology” to propel the yacht at high speed, almost silently when driving, and does not generate waves or vibrations. The cruising range exceeds 50 nautical miles (about 100 kilometers), and the hydrofoil structure allows the hull to glide smoothly at a maximum speed of 30 knots (55 km/h).
With a hull made of giant glass and a lightweight structure, The Icon is designed to be a social gathering place in any port, with swivel seats and a touch-enabled tablet inside the cabin. In the middle of the deck, the command station features an iDrive-style control panel, voice control and a 6K high-resolution 32-inch display screen with a Dolby Atmos system sound system for excellent sound quality. BMW even invited Hollywood soundtrack master Hans Zimmer (Hans Zimmer) to make a soundtrack, so that passengers can enjoy the water travel comfortably. At present, BMW has not released detailed sales information about The Icon. Interested readers may wish to pay more attention to the follow-up news.
