This strategic partnership confirms our leadership in powertrain technology for marine applications. We are always focused on our customers’ needs, developing tailor-made products. Thanks to our advanced solutions, we can provide our customers with the best powertrain configuration for high performance boats in all applications, even the most extreme.

The International WorkBoat Show 2018 attracted around 15,000 members of the commercial maritime industry. It was, indeed, the right occsion for Fincantieri to show the C9 650 engine from the Cursor marine lineup. In particular, this 6-cylinder in line engine has a displacement of 8.7L, a rated power of 650 hp (478 kW) at 2,530 rpm, a maximum torque of 2,150 Nm at 1,700 rpm and a dry weight of 940 kg.
