Vivace26 Concept Speed Boat

A gaggle of talented designers have come up with a futuristic two-seater high-speed luxury vessel designed to be a sort of seagoing supercar. Garret Miller, Heather Witkop, David Robinson, Matt Wysenski and Julian Romero have dubbed their slick looking craft the Vivace26 and spec’d it out with V12 TDI diesel engines from the Audi Rio Lemans Prototype along with Arneson surface drives for propulsion. If all goes swimmingly the thing should be good for 650 hp and the ability to hit 80+ knots.

A fully convertible top, joystick steering, OLED display screens and hull stabilizers which channel the water from the bow to the stern allowing the boat to “grab” onto the water when traveling at high speeds round out the list of features. Inspired by a quote from the CEO of Bentley who said something along the lines of, “I buy my cars based on what I wished I had when I was 18″, the designers set out to “discover the sociological reasoning behind the purchasing power of a high end luxury design” and deliver the ultimate watertoy. If this thing ever goes into production it’ll definitely be a cool contender. Or at least a cool yacht tender.
