Default Lamborghini yacht by Tecnomar

4,000-hp tribute to the Lambo Sián FKP 37















Lamborghini is no stranger to the boating industry, it developed a pair of marine engines in the 1980s, but it has never made its own boat. It took a step toward the world of yachts when it teamed with Italian firm Tecnomar to design a high-performance vessel inspired by the limited-edition Sián FKP 37 introduced in 2019. It's quick, rare, and head-turning, and it was deemed worth of wearing the company's Raging Bull emblem on its bow.

Tecnomar (a boatmaker owned by The Italian Sea Group) worked directly with Lamborghini's Centro Stile to inject some of the design DNA that characterizes Sant'Agata's supercars into a yacht. The end result stands out with a strikingly rakish silhouette, Y-shaped LED lights on the front part of the hull, and hexagonal glass on both sides. They draw a visual link between the yacht and Marcello Gandini-designed cars such as the Miura and the Countach.

Settling into the captain's chair feels a lot like slipping behind the wheel of a modern-day Lamborghini, except you're sitting taller, you're floating on water, and there's a lot more space around you. In lieu of an old-fashioned wooden helm, Tecnomar installed a three-spoke steering wheel that looks a lot like the unit Lamborghini currently puts in its cars. It even has a 12-o'clock mark, which seems more than a little superfluous when you're motorboating. Digital gauges display vital information about the boat and its surroundings, including navigation data, and the throttle levers are reminiscent of the drive mode selectors found on the center console of the Urus.

Buttons lifted straight out of the Lamborghini parts bin are used to start the engines -- and, yes, that's plural. While the Sián is the company's first production-bound hybrid model, there is nothing electrified about its water-going sibling. Power comes from a pair of V12 engines built by MAN and each rated at 2,000 horsepower. Performance specifications haven't been released yet, but it sounds like the yacht needs a 4,000-horse punch because it's 63 feet long and it weighs about 53,000 pounds. It's relatively light all things considered thanks in part to the use of carbon fiber in its construction, and it falls in the ultra-lightweight boat category.

Tecnomar expects to deliver the first boats in early 2021. It capped production at 63 units globally, and it priced each one at $3 million before options are factored in. Buyers can customize nearly every part of the yacht, including the hull's color, the deck, and the interior layout. Lamborghini will also make 63 highly-customizable examples of the Sián (a number chosen because it was founded in 1963) and pricing allegedly starts in the vicinity of $2 million. Alternatively, Lego Technic released a 1/8-scale, 3696-piece Sián kit priced at $380.

The detailing is outstanding. Love the homage to Italy with the tri colors on the hull fins

Neither this Lamborghini yacht or Lexus's matches the Porsche one though for shear size

Thanks for the info. I find it interesting when manufacturers go off and do something else. I wonder what the odds are of ever seeing one of these boats

No problem. I would wager highly unlikely, though visiting Monaco / Monaco Yacht Show would be a good place to start
