On this first day of Cannes, FPT Industrial unveiled its new marine engine, the Cursor 16 1000. This is the standard version of the record-breaking C16, but it has many interesting features. The C16 1000 has been designed especially for pleasure craft (yachts and mega yachts) and makes compactness and lightness its strengths; in fact, it is the only 16-litre engine with the same dimensions as a 13-litre engine. It develops a maximum power of 1,000 hp at 2,300 rpm which, combined with its reduced weight, gives this engine a very good weight/power ratio (0.59 hp/kg).
