OrcaTM: sustainable
water exploration without compromise
The Orca Performance is a leap forward with an innovative hull,
battery, and electric propulsion technology. The precision molded
hull has been hydrodynamically optimised balancing playful carving
and efficient cruising across varied conditions. This is coupled
with a low center of gravity from the battery below the waterline
delivering leading stability through high-speed maneuvering.
Orca Performance is powered by Taiga's sixth generation
integrated motor-inverter Tractive Unit, delivering greater
efficiency with up to 160 hp and 170 Nm of torque, resulting in a
top speed of 100km/h1. The Tractive Unit offers peak
torque across an ultrawide torque band and millisecond response
time for precise and exhilarating acceleration at any speed. The
sealed lithium-ion battery has been optimized to safely deliver
maximum power across its lifetime under high vibrations and
saltwater environments, providing energy for up to two hours of
riding. Using standard automotive charging systems, Orca
Performance can be easily charged with the included mobile
connector overnight on any outlet, with Level 2 chargers in 3.5hrs,
or with an optional DC Fast Charging to 80% in under 40
minutes1.
Selected as one of the Best Inventions of 2022 by TIME
Magazine and winner of the Fast Company 2022 World Changing
Ideas Award and 2022 Best of What's New Award from Popular
Science, Taiga is thrilled to bring its EVs to the UAE and
redefine powersports and marine industry by making it more
sustainable, accessible, and exhilarating than ever.
