The launch of the first new model of 2020, represents a Renaissance for Ferretti Group, which reopens from Riva, ever more a contemporary legend, the essence of Italian artistry and a tangible sign of a country that is restarting.”

The project, presented in January, stayed within planned construction times and the new design philosophy of the exterior showcases lines and elements inspired by the automotive industry that combine luxury and sportiness perfectly. A proper example of balance between the past and the present, thanks to innovative materials like carbon fibre and traditional systems like mahogany inlays and steel decorations.

In addition, with a design prospectus that unites aesthetics and functionality, the Riva 88′ Folgore has a completely redesigned stern concept, with the hold door that flips down and can be positioned in two ways: parallel to the water line, in order to enjoy a comfortable 6 m² beach club, or under it, for the launch and towage of tenders.
