If I had that money I'd live in that thing. Travel the world.

That's just for the base model. Add a few options - sport chrono, leather, 18 way seats and god forbid you want PTS...easily doubles the cost!

Porche Hybrid Super Yacht!

Cool yacht but for around $15m I'll take a custom Bayliss but I'm a big fisherman... and only a 21kt cruise is kinda weak for something associated with Porsche.

Something about the design ... methinks that yacht will prefer calm waters.

Then go with the smaller version and cruise at 78 knots.

It isn't quite big enough for that.

I'd love to see more pics of the interior.

That's actually not a bad price for a boat of that caliber. Heck a new loaded ski boat will basically set you back that much. I looked the smaller boat much better.

Porche Hybrid Super Yacht!

MTI built several Lambo inspired poker run power boats. I've been one of them. It had extremely modified aventador engines with around 3000 HP. It topped out around 185 I think but when I was on it we didn't get past 140 which is plenty fast. I was in. Ft Lauderdale when I had the pleasure of riding on it. I also go to take a ride in a 5009 HP Nor-tech. Now that boat was insanely fast. I thought my face was melting off and asked the capt if he had it wide open he said"na. Only 55-60% throttle...."

But I think it would float either way up.

Having come from the Amalfi coast this past week, we saw some pretty stunning yachts. I didn't know what 16 million buys, but judging from this, there must be a whole lot of 9 figure yachts out there.
