FASTER: Yamaha’s FX Cruiser SHO

Can nanotechnology materials make things faster? Consider this: the Yamaha FX Cruiser SHO Waverunner is able to accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 6. 8 seconds—faster than a Corvette Z06. It’s powered by a 1.

Can nanotechnology materials make things faster? Consider this: the Yamaha FX Cruiser SHO Waverunner is able to accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 6.8 seconds—faster than a Corvette Z06. It’s powered by a 1.8-liter supercharged engine with a 155-mm jet pump propulsion system designed to maximize water flow at high speeds. Here’s the nano part: a nanocomposite material is to construct the hull and deck helps to cut overall weight by 25% compared to other composite materials, with the added ability to cut through the water smoother for improved handling.
