Magnum Marine's wicked new $8.95 million 80-ft. speedboat (above) has lines like a supercar, which is hardly surprising since legendary Italian styling house Pininfarina, known for Ferraris and such, did the design. Florida-based Magnum, founded in 1966, is dedicated to making "sexy, high-end speedboats on a grand scale." The hand-laminated, high performance craft is powered by twin 2400 hp MTU diesels producing a top speed of about 60 mph. Even at that velocity its deep-V hull "cuts through the waves like a knife, making for a smooth, comfortable and quiet ride even in adverse sea conditions." The boat's interiors are extremely spacious and features tons of teak, large open spaces and two VIP cabins with en-suite baths, copious living and dining areas and crew accommodations.

I would hope that a boat with twin 2400 hp engines would be able to go a bit faster than 60 mph, even if it is 80 ft long. But those are the numbers as listed on their website. They do mention that this boat is available with twin 3650 hp engines. Perhaps 7300 hp will get this beast over the 70mph mark. No matter which way you take it, this is excess at its limits.
