New Model: Tornado 50SR

Tornado has during the 2023 Genoa boat show presented the new 50SR.  The new SR is the third and high performance version of the Tornado 50 which debuted in 2010, and was updated in 2018 with the S variant.  Unlike the 50S, the Tornado 50SR is powered by twin FPT 650hp engines with surface drives propulsion for top speeds up to 43 knots.  For the remaining the Tornado 50SR keeps the livability of the other Tornado Yachts 50 models offering a traditional Mediterranean layout cockpit deck with aft sun-pad, dinette and wet bar.  The lower deck in the 50SR is also unchanged with three double cabins; forward master, twin double cabins and L-shaped sofa in between the cabins.  The Tornado 50SR also did a test run in serious conditions by competing in the prologue of the Venezia-Montecarlo shortened race up to Rodi Garganico the past July, taking fifth place overall, but also placing first of the production boats competing.
