Mauro Lecci Lamborghini motoryacht

When we first brought you Italian designer Mauro Lecchi’s vision of a Lamborghini power yacht, we were suitably intrigued, but didn’t imagine it would actually ever hit the water. Color us surprised, because apparently it is.

The design, “heavily contaminated by stretched lines”, according to the press release, takes its cues from Lamborghinis old and new and applies them to the 50-foot form of an express motor yacht. Available propulsion options range from an available pair of 550-horsepower V12s from Motori Marini Lamborghini, and ultimately top out at twin 950-horsepower Seatek turbodiesels. The first example of the Lamborghini-themed yacht is apparently now being built, incorporating lightweight carbon-Kevlar construction that promises to be significantly lighter than the usual fiberglass or even aluminum.

Just in case it isn’t flashy enough on the outside, Lecchi and company have contracted Fenice Milano to outfit the yacht’s interior spaces. Yes, that’s the same Fenice Milano that has gilded everything from the Fiat 500 to the Rolls-Royce Ghost. So you know it’ll be suitably decadent (or horrifying). We’ve updated the high-res image gallery below as the yacht undergoes construction, accompanied by Fenice Milano’s press release after the jump.

Stand Craft 166 Yacht

The problem with yachting is that there’s just no way to bring all of your toys with you. How will the neighbors at the marina ever know that you’ve got a world-class supercar if you have to keep it tucked away in the garage while you’re out sailing the Mediterranean? The shipwrights at Stand Craft have the perfect solution. Meet the 166 – a modern yacht that comes with its very own high-horsepower supercar tucked in the aft. The wheeled machine in question will reportedly wield a 620-horsepower V8, and Stand Craft claims that the vehicle will clip off a top speed of 189 mph.

It’s a fitting trinket to go along with a yacht that packs a hidden Jacuzzi tucked into the bow, a retractable fly bridge that tucks away the ship’s radar arrays when not in use and a whopping total of five state rooms. Each of the suites is loaded with 52-inch flat-screen television with iPad controls. If any of this is starting to sound or look familiar, that’s because the company previously revealed their Strand Craft 122, another ultra-premium vessel that also featured a garage and lux accoutrements, albeit in a slightly less ostentatiously sized package.

Not too shabby. While you join us in waiting for real-world images, hit the jump for the full press release and a quick video.
