Default $25M 'Bond' yacht with matching supercar

Not much that can be said, just enjoy:

Here's a twofer that might even stir 007.

A Swedish ship-building company is set to craft a fleet of $25 million, 122-foot superyachts boasting sleek lines, bulletproof windows and an accessory worthy of any international man of mystery -- a matching, handcrafted supercar.

But moguls have to move fast -- only six of the boat-and-car combos will be made.

"It would be the perfect boat for James Bond," Strand Kraft founder Kurt Strand told The Post. "He likes the extravagant style and [the car] is the ultimate luxury feature you can have."

The supercar, sporting the same metallic paint job as its mother ship, features an eye-popping, 880 horsepower, twin-turbo V12 engine with a top speed of 230 mph.

"You have to buy the yacht to get the car," Strand said. "It will be . . . the most exclusive car in the world."

The boat is no slouch either, coming with two main diesel engines and a Rolls Royce turbine booster engine that together can make it hit a top speed of 55 knots.

The interior of the Strand Craft 122 is like a floating mansion, with an Art Deco-inspired décor and a grand staircase going from the main deck to the salon that features a crystal chandelier.

"We like the contrast of the super-futuristic exterior with a classic luxury interior," Strand said. "So it feels like you're walking into the Waldorf Astoria."

There are four double staterooms, a dining room that seats 10, reception and salon areas -- and 52-inch LED TVs and Bang & Olufsen sound systems in all rooms.

The designer, US-born, Sweden-based Englishman Eduard Gray, said he was aiming for a head-turning "sleek and sexy" look.

"When I designed it, I had in my mind how it would come into the harbor and you'd look at it and be jealous," he told The Post.

Neither the yacht nor the car is yet in production -- but Strand says his company is already meeting with potential buyers. The first delivery won't be until 2013.

Pretty nice. If I had the cash, maybe I would spring for this.

For sure this puppy going to make a nice splash in Monaco or Montenegro (thats if the port gets built)
