A stunning new hyperyacht has been unveiled that's been described by the designers as a 'Ferrari of the seas' - and it even comes with a garage for the owner's road-going Ferrari (though they’ll need to be careful about getting it splashed with saltwater).
Behold the 88ft nine-million-euro (£7.5million/$10million) Gran Turismo Mediterranea, which also features supercar-style gull-wing side openings and has enough power to hit 75 knots - about 85mph.
The creator, Rome-based Lazzarini Design Studio, reveals that the boat has foil wings that deploy to lift the boat - which comes in a Ferrari-style red - out of the water at speeds exceeding 20 knots (23mph).

The garage is located at the back of the yacht, and is formed by a platform that can also be used as a sundeck.
Making their way into the interior of the hyperyacht, passengers will enter an atrium that leads to the upper and lower cabins.

The upper level of the yacht encompasses a second living area, as well as the captain’s cabin.
Various 'automotive design’ references influenced the appearance and the function of the yacht, according to a statement.
For example, a ‘hood scoop’, a feature that typically improves the passage of air through the engine of a motor car, was implemented into the design.

It will be powered by 6,600 brake-horsepower engines and weigh under 22 tonnes.
A statement adds that the yacht can 'cruise at elevated speeds with extreme sailing comfort'.
This isn’t the first amazing design that Lazzarini has dreamt up - it is also responsible for a swan-shaped superyacht, a £450million shark-inspired mega-yacht, and a sleek yacht with a gaping hole in the middle.
The Gran Turismo Mediterranea is currently a concept and would cost 'about nine million euros to make it real'. For more information visit lazzarinidesignstudio.com.
