The boat was first presented to the public in 2010 and made a good impression on critics. Many noted a powerful, supersporty and at the same time luxurious in quality of execution, as well as an unusual combination of modern and retro details. At the same time, it was noted that the boat is somewhat heavy for its class - it weighs just over 4 tons.
The Formula 290 FX4 was conceived in part as a response to European design studies. That's why a lot of attention was paid to the visual components in this boat: a silver metallic hull with laconic chrome details and traditional Formula boat graphics, a control post made in a contrasting combination of carbon fiber and chrome steel and a cockpit carpet made especially for the FX4. This boat is a vivid example of designers' attention to detail, not only in terms of style, but also in terms of practicality. For example, two cup holders at the control station have «drains, and»if a drink spills out on the move. Maximum speed of Formula 290 FX4 reaches 54 knots, cruise speed - 29.5 knots.
