The awe-inspiring team of Italian yachtbuilder Mauro Lecchi and exotic auto customizer Fenice Milano has already resulted in one eye-popping superyacht inspired by a Lamborghini. Now the dynamic duo are offering for sale a slightly more subtle, and to our way of thinking more practically elegant collaboration, the DIAMOND 44 from the T.I.C. Italian Style shipyard. Priced at about €1 million, the 14-metre craft is constructed from an innovative, high-tech mix of RINA certified wood, fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fibre, epoxy resin a few other materials more commonly found in the aerospace industry.
The interior dispenses with the usual confines of yacht design for an open-plan scheme that makes it feel like a much larger yacht, with adaptable furnishings to suit the occasion. Fenice Milano employs the same techniques used on their amped-up version of the Rolls-Royce Ghost and other over-the-top vehicles to outfit the sleek ship, equipped with 8 berths. Because of the lightweight construction, the twin Volvo Penta IPS engines rated at 870 hp apiece are able to propel the yacht at an impressive max speed of 41 knots and cruising speed of 37 knots. Let them eat wake.
