Powerboat builders XSMG think there's a big gap in the market; a vessel for those keen to translate their passion for fast cars onto the water. The answer is their new XSR48, a speedboat that takes styling cues from supercars and performance tips from superboat champions.
The XSR48 might not have a snappy name, but there's nothing slack about the stats; two twin-turbo diesel engines giving at least 1600 hp, enough to propel the craft through the water at nearly 95 knots. The makers optimistically suggest that the boat is the closest thing to an ocean-going Bugatti Veyron (and at £1.2m each, it's in a comparable price bracket), with just 100 of the dart-like 48 foot craft due to be built to order.
The sleek racing lines are contrasted with an airy, futuristic cabin, a world away from the fusty teak and brass trim of a standard speedboa
