OUTREMER 4X: The sporty version of a best-seller

Automobile manufacturers have always entrusted their brand image to their sportier models. The Volkswagen Golf or the 205 from Peugeot, the Subaru Impreza or Mitsubishi’s Lancer saw great sales in their sports versions, and these became the powerhouse of company publicity. The racing technicians heavily modified competition models to the point where it was only their outline which bore any reference to the original car, but what a success!

In the marine industry, none of the builders have comparable means available to generate a link between competition, cruising and future buyers, in as far as the “rally-pro” category has no real equivalent in multihulls, the next step up being straight to Formula One level! Despite these differences, Outremer has always asserted its sporting prowess, inspiring the market with a high powered version of its 45 footer, the 4X.
