Lamborghini is famous for many things: spectacular cars, a legendary rivalry with Ferrari, and one of the most intriguing founding stories, but few brand enthusiasts know that this legend can create far more than supercars, amazing engines and engaging stories. For instance, the Lamborghini family's successor, Tonino Lamborghini, established a lifestyle brand that creates high-end accessories like jewelry, sports equipment, clothing, watches, and fragrances. Furthermore, Tonino Lamborghini also launched a coffee brand. And if that wasn’t enough, the Lamborghini name is also associated with prestigious yachts.
Conor McGregor, the former dual-weight UFC champion, made headlines this summer, when the media announced that he finally got to sail his ‘supercar of the sea’, the Lamborghini Tecnomar 63. This amazing sport yacht was built by Tecnomar at the Italian Sea Group headquarter in Italy, according to Talk Sport. In case anyone is interested in the 63 and has €3.5 million (US$3.48 million) to spend, they should move fast because this is a limited edition design and the affluent class in Miami might already eye Lamborghini’s new luxurious yachts.
The Lamborghini 63 Yacht: History Behind The Number "63"
For superstitious people, the number 63 has a strong relevance. “When angel number 63 shows up in your life it should be taken as a sign from your angels that they are hard at work ensuring that your material needs are met, and your household finances are in order,” says the Secret of the Tarot. While we don’t know if the executives at Lamborghini have any particular superstitions or if they are into Tarot, what we know is that the Italian luxury company didn’t name the boat 63 for no reason. In fact, the Lamborghini 63 makes use of this number repeatedly. The boat reaches the top speed of 63 knots and has 63 feet in length.
Furthermore, Lamborghini and Tecnomar built only 63 units from this super sleek boat. Lamborghini fans will probably remember that the number 63 has a special importance for the Italian brand. In 1963, business executive Ferruccio Lamborghini created Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A. to compete against Ferrari. This was also the year when the newly established car company released the 350 GTV, a two-seater coupe powered by a V12 engine.
This Is What Makes The Lamborghini 63 So Special
The 63 is an impressive boat that not only evokes Lamborghini's beginnings in the automobile sector but also tells the tale of the entrepreneur who built a credible challenger to Ferrari.
“Lamborghini himself commissioned a wooden Riva Aquarama speedboat in 1968, and it was initially powered by two of his company’s four-liter Lamborghini V12s from the Espada model,” says Barrons. “It was the fastest Aquarama built, capable of 48 knots (55 mph) and the founder kept it until 1989.”
Evidently, Lamborghini always had a close relationship with opulent speedboats. And now, the Italian manufacturer has capitalized on this relationship and created a distinctive product. Not for nothing, experts dubbed the 63 the “supercar of the seas”. This super boat is not only fast and has incredible dynamics, but is also sophisticated and stylish. The two MAN V 12 – 2000HP engines push the boat to its incredible speed and convert it into the quickest yacht of the Tecnomar fleet. Equally important, the use of carbon fiber ensures that the yacht sheds unnecessary weight and stays in the category of ultralight boats.
Lamborghini's enthusiasts and gearheads will enjoy the navigation and control system screens, which resemble the ones from the brand’s car cockpits. In addition, passenger will find Lamborghini’s elegant Carbon Skin on the seats and steering wheel, according to Boat International. Meanwhile, the roomy master suite and twin cabin are available for use by passengers who are traveling with their family or a restricted group of friends. On the negative side, fuel won’t come cheap for this powerful super yacht. Boat International highlights that at the full force of 63 knots, the boat consumes 480 liters of fuel per hour. However, when the 63 cruises at roughly 40 knots, she requires 50 percent of the fuel.
The 63's Design Carries The Lamborghini's DNA
According to various sources, the limited-edition Sián FKP 37 hybrid car that generates 785 horsepower at 8,500rpm and can speed up to 217 miles per hour inspired the design of the luxurious yacht.
“We are proud to see the essence of Lamborghini DNA that today sets out to sail the sea with the same attitude of our super sports cars that race across the asphalt,” says Stefano Rutigliano, strategy director of Automobili Lamborghini. “This yacht is proof that the shared values and perfect synergy of the two teams are the key for executing excellent projects.”
