New Model: Fairline 44 Targa Gran Turismo

Presented as a project last September Fairline presents the new Fairline 44 Targa Gran Turismo, which replaces the successful 43 Targa after 9 years of production. The new Targa continues the hard top philosophy of the bigger Gran Turismo models and joins new technology by adopting Volvo Penta’s revolutionary IPS (Inboard Performance System) with its unique forward facing dual propeller units, which deliver around 15% faster acceleration, 20% greater top speed, and up to 30% better fuel economy. Fairline admit that they were impressed by the new propulsion performance, fuel economy and ease of boat handling provided by the joystick manoeuvring control, that they designed this latest Targa around the IPS. The 44 Targa features a brand new deep-V hull design to make the most of the system and the boat has undergone two years of testing before starting production. This new model also features a patented hard top system, that rapidly converts the airy spacious cockpit into a cosy deck saloon at the flick of a switch. The luxurious accommodation both above and below deck includes a sumptuous master and guest cabin, day-access toilet, well equipped galley, large bathing platform and plenty of sunbathing space.
