Porsche Yacht

Porsche Design and Miami-based boat maker Fearless have teamed up to build a yacht that makes a 911 look like a tonka truck. And, it's a lot prettier than the other superboat we've been gawking at. The $300K fiberglass-hulled boat is 28-feet long, and powered strangely enough by a 525-hp Dodge Viper engine. (What, no 911 Turbo powerplant?)

A Dogde engine in a Porsche? What a turn off.

LOL, well technically, it is not a Porsche .....Porsche Design is an entirely separate Austria-based company who design products for many different prestigious manufacturers.

Yeah I know but I would have been happier if it even had a VW engine under the hood instead of a Dodge engine. BTW I miss you "Weekend threads" about new and old objects. I'm actually taking a art course at university right now, to be more exact I'm studying foundation of modern art. At a later stage I'll try to get into a contemporary art course.
