Would have been even more impressed if they spent the R&D money on powertrains for their cars.

That would have been too easy and made too much sense.

They have apparently sold their first one.

Rob Parmentier, CEO of the Marquis-Larson Boat Group, has announced that Lexus has found the first customer for its new 65-foot LY 650 yacht — here’s a quote from Trade Only Trade:

“We’ve already sold the first hull,” says Parmentier. “It’s a more traditional build than the 42, which was built like a spaceship with all sorts of high-tech features. This boat won’t be as complex as that 42.”

For some perspective, Mercedes released their Arrow460-Grandturismo yacht earlier this year with a limited production run of 10 boats — one unit for each country where the yacht is available for sale.

The next flagship model from Lexus is not the kind of vehicle you may have been expecting.

I don't mind if Lexus diversifies what they build, just as long as the base business does not suffer.

Yup...$3.5M...

Beyond the early look at the new yacht, the biggest takeaway from the video is the price tag — Delforge ballparks the LY 650 at roughly $3.5 million USD, depending on options.

I know nothing about yachts, but $3.5M seems reasonable for a yacht. I'm sure the Porsche and Mercedes yachts are more expensive.

I used to work in the industry and it's hard to come up with an "average price" per se, as options vary so wildly. I'd say $3.5M is "in the ball park".

Here's a comparable model currently listed for $3.3M. Same size as the LY.

I wonder if it comes with Parking Assist and Pre-Collision? I’ve never driven a boat so those may come in handy.

Here is your pre-collision system.

Lexus has partnered with Marquis-Larson Boat Group, based in Pulaski, Wisconsin, to build, sell and service the yacht.
Wisconsin seems a little random for expert yacht builders . I'd have imagined a coastal state hehe
