Each craft gives a nod to the identity of the car company that created it but rarely does the boat come on sale with the car that it’s based on accompanying it.
The $2.1m (£1.7m) sale of this speedboat is taking place over eBay and includes a bright green (or Verde Singh) Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster with only 700 miles on the clock, capable of 217mph.
The sports catamaran is a re-imagined MTI 52’ Super Veloce speedboat. It’s a one-off craft, designed specifically for the current owner, and comes with 10,000 marine LEDs, a $25,000 stereo system, and $20,000 mock-Lamborghini front and rear lights.
Although not designed by Lamborghini themselves, the craft contains $50,000 of authentic Lamborghini parts, all of which has been “marinised” to withstand saltwater damage. The identical Lamborghini Verde Singh paint job is believed to have cost $75,000.
The garishness hides some intriguing engineering and design details. The Super Veloce has an all-carbon fibre hull, is powered by two Mercury outboards generating 1350bhp, providing a claimed top speed of 180mph.
But if its new owner requires a little less power, they can switch the Veloce from “race” to “pleasure”, optimising the craft for cruising rather than performance.
The seller notes: “One of a kind pair. An unexpected family incident “regrettably” forces the sale of this incredible package.”
This unique sale has been made by Miami restaurateur, Gino Gargiulo, who has initiated a series of car-boat hybrids. The “Raging Bull”, as he calls it, goes further than ever to mimic its road-based counterpart.
"MTI [the boat builder] put inserts in the moulds to create indentations in the hull sides and deck to make the boat look more like the car,” he said to Lambocars, a blog site.
“This boat is a Lamborghini, with the functional headlights, taillights, and rear view mirrors, all actual Lamborghini parts that have been modified to survive on water.”
