A stunning new hyperyacht has been unveiled that’s been described by the designers as a ‘Ferrari of the seas’ – and it even comes with a garage for the owner’s road-going Ferrari (though they’ll need to be careful about getting it splashed with saltwater).
Behold the 88ft nine-million-euro (£7.5million/$10million) Gran Turismo Mediterranea, which also features supercar-style gull-wing side openings and has enough power to hit 75 knots – about 85mph.
Lazzarini Design Studio in Rome, who created the boat, revealed that it has foil wings. These are designed to lift the boat out of water at speeds greater than 20 knots (23 mph).
The designers have unveiled a stunning hyperyacht that is pictured above. It’s being described as the ‘Ferrari’ of the oceans.

Garage is found at the rear and can be used for sundeck.
Passengers will find their way to the interior of the hyperyacht and enter the atrium, which leads to both the upper cabins as well as the lower.
The lower level of the yacht features a ‘large living room’ with a kitchen, and space for three to four guest bedrooms, as well as one bedroom for two crew members. This space will be fully customisable by the yacht’s owner.

You will find the garage at the back. It is formed by a platform which can be used for a sundeck.

The upper level of the yacht encompasses a second living area, as well as the captain’s cabin.
Various ‘automotive design’ references influenced the appearance and the function of the yacht, according to a statement.
For example, a ‘hood scoop’, a feature that typically improves the passage of air through the engine of a motor car, was implemented into the design.

The vehicle will weigh less than 22 tonnes and be powered by 6600 brake-horsepower motors.
An additional statement says that the yacht has the ability to ‘cruise with elevated speeds with extreme sailing confort’.
This isn’t the first amazing design that Lazzarini has dreamt up – it is also responsible for a swan-shaped superyacht, a £450million shark-inspired mega-yacht, and a sleek yacht with a gaping hole in the middle.
Gran Turismo Mediterranea, currently an idea, would be a cost of roughly nine million Euros to become a reality’. Visit www.granturismomediterranea.com for more details lazzarinidesignstudio.com.
