Bugatti's $2.2 Million Boat You Didn't Know You Needed

 

Surely you’ve heard of Bugatti, the makers of the world’s fastest production super sports car. Now Bugatti is bringing its name to the open water -- and it comes with quite the price tag.

Feast your eyes on the Niniette, Bugatti’s own series of yachts. They come in three sizes: 42, 63, and 88-feet long. Branded with founder Ettore Bugatti's nickname for his daughter, Lidia, the Niniette line is made in partnership with Palmer Johnson, the world’s largest motor yacht builder. In luxurious fashion, each boat is coated in titanium and carbon fiber, accented with Bugatti’s signature blue, according to The Verge.

Bugatti had developed racing boats in the 1930s, so the boat’s return is more of a revival than debut, Town and Country mentions.

“This very special project brings together two brands with more than 100 years of experience in high-end hand crafting in their respective fields,” Dr. Stefan Brungs, member of the Board of Management of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. responsible for Sales and Marketing, explains. “Bugatti and Palmer Johnson share outstanding lightweight design expertise.”

The French manufacturer’s boat line will start at an impressive $2.2 million for the 42-foot model, and increase to $3.5 million for the 63-footer. As for the 88-footer, there hasn’t been a price listed yet.
