This aluminum monohull boat measuring 38 feet was built by Cantieri Uniti Viareggio. The boat originally had two V8 engines, but it was soon replaced by a pair Lamborghini V12s. Each engine produces 720 horsepower (537kilowatts), which makes it capable of speeding across the water.

Alberto Petri took this boat to the 1984 Union Internationale Motonautique European Championship. He was also instrumental in helping Cantieri Uniti Viareggio win a World Championship. Petri raced the speedboat in 1985 as a privateer.

It is worth noting, however, that Lamborghini V12s designed for marine use differ from the road-going models. The displacement of the engine will vary depending on the model. It could be as low as 8.0 liters or even as high at 9.0 liters. You can effectively put several of these engines into a speedboat to create a supercar on water.
