There’s more than one way to wreck a Lamborghini. Plenty of people have done it by flying into a curve and losing control of the car. Others have gone too fast on a track and relied on too little skill to keep the front end from eating a tire wall. This weekend, a very different kind of Lambo – a Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht – was wrecked in the water off the coast of Miami Beach.
In 2020, Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group announced the debut of the “Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63,” which referred to Lamborghini being founded in 1963 (63 also happens to be the yacht’s length in feet). Developed by The Italian Sea Group, with contributions from Lamborghini’s Centro Stile designers, the 63 features visual elements from a variety of classic and modern Raging Bulls. It was inspired by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 hybrid hypercar and has a hull and superstructure with lines that resemble those of the Miura and Countach. According to Lamborghini, “The hard top is inspired by Lamborghini roadsters: providing sun and wind protection while guaranteeing an outstanding aerodynamic performance. The bow lights are an homage to the Lamborghini concept car Terzo Millennio and to the Sián FKP 37, both distinctive for their Y-shaped front lights.”
Other press photos show familiar Lamborghini hardware, such as sculpted bucket seats with harnesses, three-spoke steering wheel, and hexagonal and Y-shaped interior elements. At the rear is not one but two V12s that produce 2,000 horsepower each, which enable the watercraft to cruise at 40 knots and max out at 63 knots, as Tecnomar’s numbers show.
Another important number for the Lamborghini yacht is how many people it can hold at one time. Tecnomar says it can accommodate up to five guests and two crew members staying onboard. But how many people can be on the 63 in general?
Fox News and CBS News report the approximately $4 million 63 that partially sank in Biscayne Bay can hold up to 16 people – but was carrying 32 when it started going down stern-first. Luckily, everyone onboard, many of them social media influencers, was rescued by the Coast Guard and Good Samaritans.
The 63 itself was removed with the help of air flotation devices. So if you see one pop up for sale at a great price, proceed with caution unless you want a Lamborghini with a lot of flood damage.
