The VIZUALTECH Audi R8 Catamaran : From Super-Car to Super-boat

4 February 2009 No Comment

The Audi R8 might as well pass off as the most sober super-car in the world…but look what it’s aqua-based inspiration has created – the hottest and most appealing catamaran.

The most notable styling element of the R8 are its contrasting blades of color just aft of the doors, and these make the transition to Vizualtech’s catamaran along with the integrated fuel-filler. At the rear are large openings with strakes that mimic the look of the R8’s hind-end nicely. One thing that the Audi doesn’t have are this catamaran’s gull-wing doors.

We expect Audi to drop a V10 engine in the R8’s engine bay soon enough, and this sea worthy ship will feature one of its own, though powered by biodiesel and making about 320-horsepower. Top speed falls a bit behind the vehicle that inspired its design at 110 miles per hour, but that’s supercar speed on the water.

Swedish company called Vizualtech has rendered up an Audi R8-inspired catamaran for a Dubai-based race boat establishment.

Of course, the whole thing is just pixels and math at this point, but at least the Dubai-based customer means the money might actually exist somewhere to build the thing.
