Lexus is extending its luxury philosophy to the water with the debut of the Lexus Sport Yacht concept. Designed to accommodate six to eight guests, the open yacht utilizes lightweight composite materials and is powered by twin 5.0-liter V8 engines. Together, they produce 885 bhp, allowing the vessel to reach a top speed of 43 knots (50 mph).
“This concept for a Lexus Sport Yacht allowed us to explore how Lexus design language could be applied to a maritime lifestyle,” said Yoshihiro Sawa, executive vice president of Lexus International. “For the Lexus Design Center this project has been very exciting. The effort is valuable to us as it stirs our creative energies and pushes our imagination to design and lifestyle possibilities outside of the automotive realm we know well.”
Right now, there are no plans to bring this boat to production.
