Wealthy Men Toy Of the Week on July 25, 2011
We all know when you are a wealthy man who got to have the toys. We will be talking about the Wealthy Men Toy Of the Week, which is this impressive 122ft state of the art super yacht. It also comes with a luxury supercar.
This toy cost £17million (pounds) which equals to a little over $27.5million (American Dollars); and there were only 6 made. Kurt Strand, founder of Swedish company Strand Craft, stated they had built the boat and car for the “very wealthy.” He also stated, “We have had a lot of interest from all over the world, specially the Middle East. It was designed for luxury and for people who want the best. The custom made supercar is the best feature, both the boat and the car are very high performance and the boat is very fast. It has a very futuristic design and nothing like this has ever been made before. It even has bulletproof windows.”
Just by the look of this yacht you can clearly tell that there is nothing like this out there in the market. This impressive boat also features a ‘garage’ of sort, so that you can store your supercar and take it with you wherever you travel too.
The design inside of the yacht is Art Deco and contains four large double staterooms, a reception area, salon, 52in LED TVs and high tech sound system in every single room.
If you want speed and power this yacht delivers on both. The yacht has top speeds of 43 knots and it has a twin MTU 16V000 engine. It has the ability to reach 55 knots but that is only if you choose the option of the Rolls Royce KaMeWa boosters that offer 14,000hp. What about the supercar you ask? Well, it has an 880hp twin turbo v12 engine and can top speeds at 233mph! Now that is impressive!
