When Lamborghini takes to the water, subtlety isn’t on the agenda. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is a 30-metre superyacht that fuses Italian automotive theatre with cutting-edge naval engineering.
The model builds on the collaboration that began in 2020 with the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a sell-out success that celebrated the marque’s founding year.
This new flagship pushes the partnership between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group to a grander scale, designed to deliver the same adrenaline rush at sea that drivers expect behind the wheel.
“The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT redefines the concept of nautical luxury,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“It is not only a yacht, but an affirmation of Italian excellence. The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini share an exclusive clientele who are passionate about beauty, technology, and extreme performance.”
Design cues are unmistakably Lamborghini. The yacht’s sharp exterior lines echo the Fenomeno supercar revealed at Monterey Car Week, complete with Giallo Crius launch livery and signature Y-shaped lighting.
Inside, the cockpit and lounges mirror the DNA of Sant’Agata supercars through hexagonal motifs, sculptural seating and dramatic contrasts. With accommodation for up to nine guests and three crew cabins, indulgence meets practicality on every deck.
Performance is equally uncompromising. Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and triple surface propellers generate a combined 7,600 horsepower, driving the yacht to 45 knots at full throttle, with a cruising speed of 35 knots. Two 35 kW generators provide additional efficiency and reliability, ensuring the yacht’s power matches its presence.
Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s Design Director, said: “With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we aimed to create a product that embodies the main design characteristics of our super sports cars. All the details, from the exterior to the colour, to the interior areas, recall and are inspired by Lamborghini’s DNA.”
Presented in scale at Monaco, the definitive Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is scheduled to hit the water at the end of 2027. For those who demand their indulgence measured not only in metres but in knots, this is Lamborghini’s most extravagant expression yet.

< 1 minGAC Australia has confirmed the AION UT, an all-electric compact hatchback, as the fourth model to join its local range, with the vehicle set to go on sale mid-year.
The AION UT will be the second fully electric model released in Australia under GAC’s AION sub-brand, following the launch of the AION V medium SUV.
The company says the new hatch has been developed specifically with urban driving in mind, combining compact exterior dimensions with competitive interior space.
Designed at GAC’s Milan Design Centre, the AION UT features a fastback silhouette, two-tone floating roof and pixel-style lighting elements intended to give the car a distinctive, tech-forward appearance.
GAC also points to what it describes as the world’s first “eyebrow-style” headlamp design as a visual signature for the model.
Despite its compact positioning, the AION UT rides on a 2,750mm wheelbase, which GAC says allows for interior space that rivals larger vehicles in the same segment.
Full technical specifications, equipment levels and pricing for the Australian market have not yet been announced.
The confirmation of the AION UT comes as competition in Australia’s electric vehicle market continues to intensify, particularly at the more affordable end of the spectrum.
While early EV adoption was dominated by premium models and SUVs, manufacturers are increasingly turning their attention to smaller, city-oriented cars aimed at price-conscious buyers and urban commuters.
GAC entered the Australian market late last year with a mix of petrol, plug-in hybrid and electric models, including the AION V, M8 PHEV and EMZOOM.
The company has indicated it plans to introduce more than 10 models locally over the next five years as part of its long-term Australian strategy.
