Lamborghini Yacht Concept by Mauro Lecchi

Lamborghini is no stranger to the water. In addition to producing some of the most desirable supercars ever to grace green tarmac, its marinized engines have hit blue water as well in offshore racing powerboats. But so far, the exotic Italian automaker has stopped short of designing its own yacht. Leave it, then, to a budding young designer to pick up the slack.

The brainchild of Italian transportation designer Mauro Lecchi, this Lamborghini yacht design borrows elements from iconic Lamborghini supercars and applies them to a 50-foot powerboat design. The theoretical specifications call for carbon-Kevlar construction to keep weight down, and a range of engine options from twin 700-horsepower Volvo Penta turbo-diesels to triple Lamborghini V12s.

The 1120HP Motor Launch from Lancia

What's the matter, was 1050 horsepower not enough for your taste? Then feast your eyes on this: the Lancia di Lancia. Although powered by two six-cylinder turbo diesels instead of the Powershore Abarth SP's three V8 outboards, the Lancia powerboat produced by the same collaboration with SACS Marine responsible for sister-company Abarth's speedboat offers up 1120 horsepower to the Abarth's 1050.

The motor launch from Lancia, as it's called, is also wrapped in a sleeker package, with inboard engines and a covered cockpit accessible through the retractable windshield and Martini Racing stripes recalling the company's historic rally victories. Like its sister-ship, however, the Lancia di Lancia is a Rigid Inflatable Boat – basically a hard hull with a rubber tube around it. The vessel measures over 40 feet long, weighs 8.5 metric tons and can reach speeds in excess of 55 miles per hour. The Lancia di Lancia is scheduled to debut during the upcoming 66th International Film Festival in Venice at the Grand Hotel Excelsior next month.

A beautiful old yacht with a long history is on the block. Chanticleer belonged to the late Frances Langford Stuart and is on sale for $1.95 million. The classic 1973 Burger yacht is being sold by her attorney and the money will go to the trust with part of it earmarked for her charitable foundation. The 108-foot yacht has four staterooms and twin diesel engines. The listing includes more pictures of the yacht, which could use a bit of an interior upgrade unless you like the Florida retiree look.

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

We've covered the impressive 71-meter Utopia megayacht before and now Edmiston announces that she has been sold. Utopia is the second largest Feadship ever built. She was created in 2004 and carries 12 guests in luxury. Details include owner's deck with a stateroom, study, gym, pantry, lounge and outdoor private Jacuzzi, helicopter platform, a tender garage, three guest suites and two VIP staterooms and room for 20 crew members. No price was given but since she charters for around $436,000 per week it's definitely up there. The yacht will still be available on the charter market.
