You may know Lamborghini has its origins in tractors, which led to automobiles after Ferruccio Lamborghini’s unsatisfactory experience with Ferrari (Enzo and his car company). Next in Lamborghini‘s brand evolution is the seascooter.
I never knew this water sled existed, but now I want one. Built by Cayago, this German creation is properly referred to as a Seabob. Using a patented electric Jetstream propulsion system, the Seabob allows you to glide on the surface of the water or dive to depths of 130 feet.
Two control grips give you command of engine power, thrust, and deceleration. An instrument panel fills you in on speed, depth, water temperature, and battery charge. To steer, merely shift your body weight, as the Seabob’s weight of 50-57 pounds allows for agile moves—just like the fishies! And marine life will barely notice your mug because the electric motor minimizes disturbance. That sounds perfect for underwater photographers and marine watchers, if not scuba divers wanting to conserve air and explore for longer periods.
Seabob has just announced the Seabob for Automobili Lamborghini, a collaboration that has created the most stylish, futuristic model yet. Clearly model SE63 has the Lamborghini DNA baked in. This watercraft is claimed to be a step up from previous Seabobs with an “innovative drive system with explosive power delivery” thanks to “newly-developed motor architecture, groundbreaking battery technology, and premium materials.” And the available colors? Arancio Egon, Verde Gea, Grigio Lynx, Verde Selvans, Giallo, and Bianco Siderale.
It is often said that if you have to ask, you probably cannot afford it. The current Cayago Seabob F9 lists for over $10,000, and there’s no reason to expect the new Seabob SE63 for Automobili Lamborghini will be any less. Feel deflated? Please don’t—you probably can’t afford a Lamborghini Revuelto either.
