What is the 70mph Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht really like? Hang on to your hat and travel in true Italian style
Speedboat inspired by the Sián hybrid features details from other classic models and marks 1963, the year of the brand’s founding
Talk about a gearshift: the Italian supercar company that used to make tractors for farming is now launching a yacht.
Lamborghini has announced that it has designed a luxury speedboat called the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63. The Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy-based brand will work with boatbuilder Italian Sea Group to create 63 of the hypercar-lookalike boats, which are inspired by the Sián FKP 37 hybrid car and meant to commemorate Lamborghini’s founding in 1963.
While the €3 million (US$3.4 million) craft is not strictly the first boat on which Lamborghini has collaborated (the company provided engines for others in the 1960s), it is the first on which the brand has led the design.
The boat will be built of carbon fibre and weigh 24 tons, a veritable lightweight, considering its 63-foot length.
The vessels contain elements directly inspired by Lamborghini cars, such as the special stretch “carbon skin” that the team of Maurizio Reggiani, Lamborghini’s chief technical officer, uses in the brand’s sports seats and steering wheels. That material will be used in the boat’s seats, steering wheel, and helm, which takes its clean and aggressive design cues from the “lowly” (when compared to the Sián) Huracan sports car.
Elsewhere, the boat comes with the same start/stop button ignition as the Lamborghini Huracan and Aventador sports cars. The Y-shaped lights on the boat’s bow evoke the headlights on the Terzo Millennio concept car and the Sián FKP 37.
The hard top of the yacht also draws on the design of Lamborghini roadsters: it’s meant to minimise exposure to the sun and wind while maintaining peak aerodynamics.
