Strand Super Yacht

I have just replaced the wallpaper on my superficial mind. This now takes it place.
Sail across the pond to New York, pull up next to the Statue of Liberty, fire up the ‘tender,’ drive it into the city, valet at the Setai 5th Avenue, and you’re living the life.
Sure it’s just a concept. And sure, it’s probably a crooked ponzi moneymaking scheme. After all, the company claims the ‘supercar’ will do 230 plus MPH. Not even the cutting edge Bugatti pulls that off-yet.
Still, if you have 24.5 million, blow it on this Strand Super Yacht and get a 880hp V12 super car as your tender. With it’s own garage.
The luxury boat will have 4 state rooms, each containing a 52-inch LED TV and sound system. (Couldn’t they make ‘em 65” TV’s?) Power comes by way of a twin MTU 16V000 engine, which can reach speeds up to 43 knots, or 55 knots if the Rolls Royce KaMeWa boosters are added.
Only 6 will be made, worldwide. And five have already been ordered. How convenient. Still, hats off to the conceptual artist.
