Introducing the Ilmor 'One Drive'
We proudly unveiled our new recreational sterndrive propulsion package, the 'One Drive,' at the Miami International Boat Show this February. Paired with our existing MV8 6.0L and 6.2L engines, we are ready to tackle the recreational bowrider and cruiser markets with a comprehensive powertrain solution for single and twin drive configurations.
"When we crafted the Ilmor 'One Drive' package, we wanted to give recreational boaters a driving experience never before offered in gasoline powered boats," says Ilmor president, Paul Ray. "We wanted to improve the technology, rising above traditional noisy cone clutch systems for a smooth and quiet shift, and a ride quality much more akin to luxury road cars. The 'One Drive' will offer boat owners overall improved performance, acceleration and efficiency - everything you could ask for, all in a beautiful package."
The most exciting feature of the 'One Drive' propulsion system is the electro-magnetically actuated hydraulic clutch transmission, which gives our drive a smooth and silent shift experience, especially noticeable in twin engine configurations. On twin engine boats, we offer the optional 'One Touch' joystick system for easy vessel maneuverability at low speeds, especially for docking. The Ilmor 'One Drive' system is covered by a 5-year factory backed limited warranty, and is already available for order through select boat manufacturing partners.
To demonstrate our new 'One Drive' and 'One Touch' systems at the show, we partnered with Formula Boats: "Our team at Formula is thrilled to partner with Ilmor in the launch of the 'One Drive' and to expand Ilmor product offerings into our hugely popular Sun Sport and CBR models," said Scott Porter, president of Formula Boats. "Ilmor has been very professional and a pleasure to deal with, which is what you would expect from a Penske-owned company. We have paired the robust, saltwater resistant 430 HP 'One Drive' in a twin application in a Formula 350 CBR which is performing fantastically well and exceeding expectations. With super smooth hydraulic shifting, the 'One Touch' joystick docking system is the icing on the cake."
And the response from customers and the press mirror Formula's reaction. Check out some of the stories and videos here: http://www.ilmor.com/en/press/
