Conor McGregor revealed his new yacht on Tuesday when he posted ‘My Lamborghini yacht is ready’ with a photo of the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 being wheeled out of the production sheds.
The Irish MMA star is one of the world’s most recognisable and outspoken sports stars and is currently recuperating from an operation on an injured ankle sustained in his UFC fight against Dustin Poirier earlier this month. He was named by Forbes as the world’s highest-earning athlete for the 12 months up to May 1, 2021.
McGregor’s yacht features a gold and black hull. Announced last year, the sleek motor yacht was developed by Lamborghini and Tecnomar, with its design influenced by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 supercar.
Featuring twin MAN V12 2,000hp engines, the 63-footer is Tecnomar’s fastest model and expected to reach 60 knots. The use of carbon-fibre material – typical of Lamborghini super sports cars – enables the ultra-lightweight yacht to weigh just 24 tonnes.
The yacht’s super sporty exterior is characterised by a sporty silhouette, with an aerodynamic hardtop is inspired by Lamborghini roadsters. The hull and superstructure are created from a high-performance shell developed by naval engineers specialising in hydrodynamic sciences.
