The LXT88, created by Turkey-based Naval Yachts, is 88 feet long and was inspired by the sleek and futuristic designs behind some of the world's most popular super cars.
"We took some touches from Lamborghini," Barış Dinc, co-owner of Naval Yachts, told Robb Reports.

The LXT88 has an orange hull that follows the sleek lines of a super car and a stern with rough edges akin to the grill of a sports car.
The yacht not only takes on the aesthetic of a super car, but it can go as fast as 42 knots, or about 48 miles per hour.

The yacht will have a lightweight aluminum structure, two MTU 1600 V12 engines, and an inline stern drive system to maximize speed and maneuverability, Naval Yachts told Insider.

Naval Yachts said in a press release the concept yacht is an attempt to combine the luxury experience of the yacht world with the speed and aesthetic of a super car.
Naval Yachts is not the first design studio and shipbuilder to create a ship concept inspired by a luxury vehicle. In 2020, Tecnomar released a cruiser in collaboration with Lamborghini for $3.5 million.

The Italian shipbuilder released a second Lamborghini vessel in 2021 — a 130-foot superyacht called the EVO 130 Hard Top.
Another Italian company, Lazzarini Design Studio, unveiled a 63-foot yacht inspired by a Ferrari last year.
