Riva 88’ Folgore launched
Riva has launched its first new model in 2020.
Riva 88’ Folgore was launched in La Spezia, where the production facility dedicated to the 76-to-110-foot models is based.
The vessel’s the result of the collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the studio founded by Mauro Micheli along with Sergio Beretta, the Product Strategy Committee, headed by engineer Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
“Riva 88’ Folgore looks like a vessel just back from a journey into the future: she is a dazzling flash of style, she is strength, she is performance, she is innovation,” says Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, in possibly one of the best quotes MIN has seen this year. “The launch of the first new model in 2020 represents a new Renaissance for the Ferretti Group, which restarts from Riva, brand becoming more and more a contemporary myth, the essence of Made in Italy and a tangible sign of a country that starts again.”
Riva 88’ Folgore offers the owner a completely reconceived stern concept, with the garage door that swings open and can be positioned in two ways: parallel to the waterline, to take advantage of a 6m2 beach club, and immersed, to allow the launch and landing of the tender.
A glass hardtop, located on the superstructure, opens up and can be tilted toward both the stern and bow, to let in fresh air during navigation or when at anchor.
