LEXUS, the Toyota’s luxury car division, has unveiled its first ever superfast powerboat design. How fast is super fast? This is the 885-horsepower sea-going Lexus Sports Yacht, which can reach an impressive top speed of 43 knots. Not only this makes a new concept very attractive but also her striking exterior.
As Lexus introduces a new design idea with an intention of expanding into new areas of lifestyle and recreation trying its hand at designing more than just luxury cars, its day-touring yacht concept turns heads.
The Lexus Sports Yacht concept features CFRP (composite material called carbon-fibre reinforced plastic), a technology widely used in the structure of race-cars and supercars, high-performance military aircraft and racing sailboats.
Although the new Lexus yacht does not offer overnight accommodation, there is a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator and a shower. There is also a dining table and a comfortable sofa. Interior design is tasteful, featuring leather, wood and glass details. This 42 ft long boat is able to carry up to 8 people.
Originally the concept was presented in the market with no intentions of building the yacht. However, Lexus tries to determine whether there is a potential demand for its luxury yachts.
