Volvo Penta’s Inboard Performance System (IPS) is helping high-end automotive brand Lexus, take to the water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toyota Motor Corporation<\/a> \u2013 in collaboration with Italian yacht design studio, Nuvolari Lenard<\/a>, and boatmaker, Marquis Yachts<\/a> \u2013 has developed its first luxury 65-foot yacht, the sleek LY 650, which is being launched as a flagship under the Lexus brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To further its ambitions of providing an irreplaceable experience that stimulates the senses and exceeds owner expectation, even at sea, the luxury automaker turned to Volvo Penta<\/a> as a trusted name in the marine industry.<\/p>\n

Full control in the driver\u2019s seat
\n<\/strong>Volvo Penta IPS<\/a> is a fully integrated marine propulsion system. This uniquely innovative system makes the LY 650 exceptionally easy to drive and handle. Delivering an intuitive onboard experience through simple joystick control, navigating could not be easier. The individually steerable IPS drives \u2013 controlled by the joystick \u2013 make for ultra-responsive handling and pilot-like control when maneuvering and docking. This allows owners to navigate in tight spaces, perform tricky maneuvers and maintain outstanding stability in all sea conditions. Additionally, onboard features are integrated from the helm to the propellers, delivering a seamless experience for the driver.<\/p>\n

Pushing the boundaries of innovation
\n<\/strong>When Volvo Penta\u2019s IPS was first launched in 2005 it was a revolution in marine technology. Continuously developed ever since it is still in a league of its own. What makes the system so unique is its innovative design. The forward-facing, twin counter-rotating propellers are an integral part of the hull structure and design of the yacht, contributing to incredible \u2018grip\u2019 of the water. The precise, integrated design of Volvo Penta\u2019s onboard technology makes the boating experience easy and intuitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolvo Penta IPS really compliments the exceptional craftsmanship of our yacht,\u201d explained Kenichi Nishida from Lexus. \u201cNot only does its compact design create more living space but the seamless integration of its features really brings that car-like feel to the water. It is truly designed for delivering the ultimate driving experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exceptional performance & efficiency
\n<\/strong>The Volvo Penta IPS package delivers fast acceleration and high top speeds making it a dream to drive. Contributing to the yacht\u2019s powerful performance are the top available specification twin D13 units each with an output equivalent to 1,350 hp. In addition to this, the IPS system delivers unrivalled fuel efficiency and a long cruising range \u00a0– giving owners the freedom to explore.<\/p>\n

Quiet and comfort at sea
\n<\/strong>Vibrations and noise levels are reduced \u2013 by up to 50 percent \u2013 compared to a traditional inboard shaft propulsion due to the efficiency of the twin counter-rotating propellers and drive line suspension. This creates the ultimate comfort at sea. Comfort is also enhanced by the compact layout of the Volvo Penta IPS installation, which enables a smaller engine room and creates extra livable space. This advanced design allows for three elegant comfortable berths to be accommodated.<\/p>\n
