The competition route winds along 1424 miles in ten days and circumnavigates England facing the Channels waters, the Ocean waves and their collision with the North Atlantic riptides. Fiat Powertrain Technologies, heir of the glorious motorboating enterprises of the Aifo – Iveco engines, is again issuing a challenge on the occasion of the Round Britain 2008 with Red FPT, a historical boat recalling the Offshore competitions myth of the eighties. The technical equipment of the boat consists of four new 600 horsepower turbodiesel engines N67 450 Evolution, the most powerful and the lightest in their category. The persons who are writing another page in the sport history are Alfredo Altavilla, Fiat Powertrain Technologies CEO, and Fabio Buzzi, FB Design CEO and leading figure of Italian motorboating with a palmares of 52 world titles and 48 speed records. 20 years went by since the Aifo – Iveco engines became very popular conquering the most important Offshore world championships, winning in all the classes of the Viareggio – Bastia – Viareggio, beating rivals in the Class 2 American championship, triumphing at the last edition of Round Britain with White Iveco.

A second boat, Blue FPT, will join the 2008 edition of the Round Britain Powerboat Race. Powered with three N60 480 hp engines will compete in Production Class MC1 category. The current FPT marine range for both professional and pleasure boats offers reliable, silent and environmental-friendly engines that have an excellent weight/power ratio, ideal not only to reach excellent performances, but also to build better and better boats, less heavy and therefore more efficient. The Evolution version of the 6-cylinder turbodiesel 6,7 liters N67 450 model generates 600 hp and has a totally electronic management system and a common rail injection system. These technical solutions allow reaching high performances, low consumption and emission reductions. Produced in thousands of units for many different applications, included those for ship and pleasure boats, the N67 450 engine, in the Evolution configuration, is now ready to face the hardest among the motorboating competitions.

The meeting is on June 21 at Portsmouth, England, in the Solent Channel, from where the over 50 boats enrolled to the competition will sail and where will be back, after the circumnavigation of England, ten days later, on June 30, for the conclusion of the Round Britain 2008.
