Kinda Find’a the Day: Aventador and Matching Boat

It’s hard to imagine anything more unnecessary and hilarious than a bright green Lamborghini Aventador SV, but I guess it’s not that hard if you’re rich.

Maritime machinery, as ever, has come to the rescue, with an even more unnecessary, even more hilarious, and even more green solution designed specifically for one Floridian, who is now, kindly, giving you the opportunity to own this truly special pair, with the help of James Edition.

Scientists and philosophers have long argued about whether a notion could be calcified and turned into a solid chunk of reality, and we now know that yes, avarice and excess can, indeed, be plucked from the ether and made real.

Coming in at a healthy $2.2 million, this 740 hp Lamborghini and this 1,500 hp (on race gas, but why would ever sully this thing with pump gas?) custom-made MTI 52’ Super Veloce, and its trailer ($100,000 value) can now be yours.

The Aventador has only 700 miles on the clock, while the boat has an unknown number of miles. What is known about the boat is how much it cost to paint ($80,000) and how much it cost to install a sound system ($20,000). So, really, buying the pair is just saving you all kinds of money and trouble.

The boat does look remarkably like the Lamborghini it’s doing an impression of, with a Reventon-like spoiler at the back, sharp-edged taillights under it, and sharp creases all the way to the front. It’s also flippin’ enormous at a staggering 52 feet long, dwarfing the Aventador.

Best of all, though, you can see the pair in action on TV, as they were featured on a recent episode of “The Secret Lives of the Super Rich,” if you’re interested in such a show.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
