XSR48 - the world's first true Superboat

[manoman0]

Wasn't this boat on TOP GEAR??

[firebombify]

cool  boat

[firebombify]

cool

[placenm]

They had this boat on Top Gear...

[jgdogg441]

Wow this looks like they turned a porshe into a boat...THOSE CURVES!

[TohaBgood2]

@jgdogg441 Hey why are you calling the boat ugly??? I happen to like it :DD

[bradz0r]

So over 100 mph? I just watched this more plain looking boat reach 177..

.youtube.com/watch?v=CdxAiUIvu­PY

[nibiru2012ification]

if u could have sex with a boat. i'd 'bleep' its freakin brains out!!!

[Feryanti]

I want to see this boat perform in rough waters, if it possible.

[paskoxbox]

whats its top speed?

[arry85]

@paskoxbox 85 knots

[DCsixeightsix686]

This needs to be in the next bond movie hahaha

[shorerydr10]

Why does it run diesel???

[pilsnerurqueller]

Reminds me of the Glastron Carlson scimitar. Great boat.

[macktheknife888]

This is the shelby mustang on the water.

[frenchfrys12]

When it said diesel, I stopping watching this.

[wind2jammer]

looks like somthing james bond would drive :)

[unit917]

this boat was on top gear. it had a carbon fibre toilet!@!@@! ahhh i need one!!#!#!

[cedarpd]

@unit917 what ,a toilet

[clonedheat]

An exceptionally beautiful boat, kudos to the designers and builders of this luxurious machine. Well Done!!!

[jutubaeh]

reminds me of the russian super!

[Keveeee2000]

I'll take two.

[wwwmilpopcom]

So cool ! Special for you

milpop com

[mrigor76]

Nice boat but what makes this so super?

Diesel powered speedboats are nothing new...

[emme114]

wally-style promo

[AuGresHell]

The Statement 42 completely blows this out of the water. Actually, almost all the builders in Florida are coming out with boats better than this.

[jtrod2007]

If i had the cash, I would buy it! NICE BOAT very stylish :)

[meeriman]

Very gay indeed. Like a sypärcar...

[brokenbrush]

whyhave a roof on itAin't enjoying the lake about having the fresh air blowing '?

[grimesy131]

wouldnt like to be out in pne in a big sea. looks like thay would roll right easy

[M3fanaticPG]

and best thing is,it is diesel engine ...

[heinrich97]

Nice and all but only useful for people that prefer investing in their ego rather than investing in something useful

[holamellamanloco]

wallypower 118 or XSR48 ??

[091101insidejob]

Three questions:

How fast is this?

What type of fuel does it use?

How much does it cost?

[scottbobsquarepants]

looks like an audi tt

[Ynot46589]

i prefer a wally 118 based on lookd this looks like a jumped up cabin cruiser (looks being the keyword not is) still nice but not as stealth as the wally boats

[XatGuide]

It's a Water Porsche!

[Dajida]

Great video and music!

Wow, deisel motors...maximum refueling locations, cool.

[Taiji4Life]

Screw the boat, u guys need to check out the toilet on this suxer... Full carbon fiber....!!

[grimesy131]

thay had them on the volvo open 70`s but thay had to replace them with plastic ones insted because after a wile thay start to splinter.

[sampsalol]

The boat looks amazing, however I would I prefer the Wally 118 over it or the Wally 70.. But it doesn't really matter cause I can't afford any of them anyway :D

By the way the song is purely fantastic, it fits perfectly to this video.. I wish we could download it separately. Nice video 5/5

[HondaSuperSport1100]

that is the cleanest boat i have ever seen,congrats on the person that made it..!

[panda532]

if you think that looks clean check out the code-X that's a great looking ship also

[jjiimmy66613]

what tha name of the song

[XSMG]

The music was commissioned and written for the video so unfortunately is not currently available for download seperately. Glad you like it though

[OliverGstar]

Just use youtube downloader and convert to MP3 = result

[hafiezali]

@XSMG why not google  "youtube to mp3"

[HondaSuperSport1100]

whats the soundtrack its awsome and the boat is sick

[hunbarian]

Porche of the sea ,,,love it

[Thedynamicman]

can I plaease get the music???

[junkbx3r]

see the episode of topgear when james may took this thing for a spin

[mikey28289019]

whats hetero?

[asuperv27]

homosexual is the opposite of heterosexual, so it means the guy thought this boat was gay cause he asked if it also availible in hetero which means is there a non gay version, btw(snowboarder32189) all boats glide on water so that is exactly how it should feel when you ride in one, its kinda like saying when i go skiing my skis just glide over the snow, well duh thats what they are intended to do

[hypnotekk]

you seem to be very knowledgable about homosexuality, but ignorant of hydrodynamics, and nautical architecture.

you said "all boats glide on water".

this is bullshit.

planing hulls glide on water. displacement hulls move through the water, behind its bough wave. even semi-displacement hulls dont completely "glide", as you put it.

google "displacement hull". and maybe you should learn to think before you release your stupidity onto the internet.

as you say..."duh".

[asuperv27]

imo even if a hull is displacing a ton of water, like an ocean liner it is still gliding on the water, just not on the surface of the water. I didn't say all boats "fly" on water like a hydro or something of that nature. Thank you for your input though

[hypnotekk]

you seem to be very knowledgable about homosexuality, but completely ignorant of naval architecture/engineering/hydro­dynamics.

you incorrectly say "all boats glide on water".

not even close. "displacement" type hulls do no such thing. they sit in the water, riding BEHIND its bough wave.

only "planing" hulls glide.

google "displacement hull", an learn something before you release your ignorant bullshit onto the internet.

"duh" indeed.

you thick fucker.

[Homeski]

Idiot.

[pepewiwi]

Dear sirs,

I am very impressed by this boat.

I want to order one.

Delivery may take place next week in Miami-Beach.

There only shall be installed one additional feature: All leatherchairs ( in light blue) in the cabin shall be equipped with a system which eliminates the motions of the sea.

Please put some bottles of red champagne and some ½ pound cans of blond caviare into the fridge.

By the way, payment will be enforced by my American Express Card.

Yours truly, Peter Raffke, Germany

[lukeshytalker02]

@pepewiwi lol im sure they can knock one up in a week

[ClarinsaPitoy]

@pepewiwi i want to order this kind of way someday *finger crossed

[bigbigblue111]

@pepewiwi Why is this a top rated comment?

[commodore64738]

Is this boat available in hetero ?

[mrtonyis]

So it looks like a car and you play guitar riffs. What else?

[boatdude419]

im sorry to say

but thats not really a superboat

all it is is a modified v-bottom

[hypnotekk]

i can't see the chine configuration, but i would suggest it is a multi-v.

[666Fintroll666]

A nice boat

[whatitduz23]

its not that super

[bigbadassjohnson]

Just stopped in to admire the boat. I see lots of grammatical error arguments here, typical.

Nothing to do with boats. Anybody liking the boats here, we can shoot the breeze, right?

I like the idea that a tubine can burn just about any combustable liquid. I'd like to see a 'flex-fuel' engine with computer controlled ignition advance, to be able to simply switch the Air/fuel/pressure settings on the fly.

Then you could pour anything into the tanks, wherever you stop in the world.

[snowboarder32189]

ive actually been on this boat when it was in the building stages. it didnt have a finished cabin inside but the cockpit and everything else was built. we took it out about a year and a half ago maybe more. it was amazing and ridiculously fast, it felt like gliding on water. so definately the most amazing ride

[realiteechek]

...And you need to know how to spell "the".

[JAG03064]

How can anyone without a degree from someplace like MIT make any remarks about the engineering of this boat, that's just asinine. Considering it has three world records under it's belt, let's see any of you so called back yard engineers do better. The same idiots downplaying are the one's who would fix a hose leak with a roll of duct tape and bubble gum....SMFH

[MisterBaz1]

MIT has very little to do with any marine engineering or boat design. Someone with a 'degree' from Westlawn and some imagination could build this just as easy.

Boat design is not rocket science.

[EngineerAn]

Your right, all you really need to know about building a boat it just a little hydrodynamics, and maybe a small amount of fluid dynamics, oh and I find thermal dynamics is useful as a Marine Engineer.

I'm guessing you are one of these people that look at a cars combustion engine and just scratch you thick scull....thought so!

[quik4ever]

u made me laugh for 2min man thx

[junglist1soldier]

Idiots love, leaving negative remarks on video clips, as if though, they were a GENIUS!

But, they are far, from being anything intelligent.If it's a car clip, they act like an auto engineer, & with this boat clip, we've got some marine engineers.

Idiots can never give props, when it's due!If you idiots are, as smart as you claim to be, then where is YOUR Super-Boat?You poor bloke.

Diesel is much more economical, than other fuels.Especially,since diesels can easily convert to Bio-Diesel.

Lovely

[nordicberserk]

need to work on your placing of teh comma (,), but besides that i totaly agree with you

[NosBlaster]

hehe same here

[abominableaussieman]

you've put commas (,) all over the place where there not supposed to be. Makes you look like you have no idea how to write english, so it's probably best not to be accusing people of being unintelligent. Just a suggestion.

[Barff]

English deficiency doesn't mean intelligence deficiency.

[mageac]

a turbine engine can run on any liquid/gas that burns... diesel being the most common other then planes and short run show vehicles, because its cheaper...

next time try google before making smartass comments

[mageac]

def not a super boat... stylish tho

turbine marine is over 200 mph...

technically a diesel boat... they can run on diesel if they like lol

[colbyVas]

something is wrong with that hull

[tommib8324]

check out composite mouldings website. They fit out the carbon fibre interior.

[mooseling1]

also diesel is found in every marina and port, petrol is only in some

[mooseling1]

you would use diesel as it (well it at least used to be) half the pric of petrol, so imagine every hour you have to spend 100% more on fuel, also diesel is more eficent and more reliable than petrol, it does not explode (easily) as its vapours are not that flammable as are petrols, so it is much safer

[DionysiosA76]

TELL IT HOW IT IS!!!

[mooseling1]

What do you mean?

[DionysiosA76]

im just agreeing with your comment on diesel oil as fuel...

[mooseling1]

Sorry, I thought that you meant that i was 'not telling it as it is' and i was confused as it is the truth and fact what i said

[porsche560]

Price??

[nitrogeb]

absolutely awesome! 5 stars!

[r8wing]

The Porsche 911 of boats.

[johnlennon6773]

When you first look at the boat you think that it's like 30 ft. but it's really 48

[wildhunter666]

just toy, miss geico does 200mph +

[Petrolhead1984]

That is a raceboat this is a full production boat

[oldkings]

yeah but anyone with money could have the same exact boat as miss geico. Just go to turbine marine.

[Pastevin242]

The "roof" line is very much like the Astom Martin DB9

[ohgoshdirector]

if i hand 1 million i would commission a bat boat, from the batman man film. now that would make a good video.

[livefullon]

Been onboard twice, UK/Monaco, beyond belief, 4 ref see new vid on XSMG website, f-wow, 100% awesome, Buzzi XSMG are partners-JV develop hull, already designing bigger boat. Sunseeker bought old design FB38 using Buzzi lay up 100%, I had one, Mini Cooper compared to Bugatti Veyron; XSMG & Buzzi JV on hydro only, Hi Modulus in NZ designed unique composites, XSMG designed rest - stick to facts, or get off your arses 2 go and see it, they're nice guys. Building Lambo Orange one at mo, bring it on!

[siicknasty]

i have been on 1 i went on the blue one in the little shed in limatton iv all readdy been there

[planethaven]

Well fuck me you really are the little fount of knowledge. What did you do, go on a school outing?

[siicknasty]

yh you could say that

[siicknasty]

They stole that hull of a sunseeker XS2000 its the same hull still a great boat should be for 1.2 millon pounds!

[planethaven]

Yes maybe but Sunseeker stole the hull from Fabio Buzzi.

[dervelden]

Oh, but Buzzi would sell you that hul again and again. Between sunseeker, this one and his military projects, custom tenders...it doesn't matter, the hull Buzzi does is always this one.

[planethaven]

Sorry buddy I am not quite understanding your comment. Where are you from?

[siicknasty]

What don't you understand ill happy answer any think you do not understand!

[planethaven]

Well I think you are trying to say that Buzzi always use the same hull. I would say that they repeatedly use similar characteristics, which kind of makes sense, its a proven design. I just didn't see the relevance of the comment as a response to my correction of your original message.

[siicknasty]

I am not saying any think other than XSMG Marine stole the mold from sunseeker not the design!

[planethaven]

If you mean bought the rights for it then yes, just like Sunseeker bought the rights from Fabio Buzzi.

[siicknasty]

No they didnt there was a law suit against XSMG because of the hull.

[planethaven]

I can also guarantee that it is not that much money!

[worldstream]

That's right baby, lot's of power!!!! Love it.

[br125000]

ugly and expensive... to each their own i guess

[mediumpimpn]

1 million pounds? That boat is fuggin weak, AND ugly. MTI...Nor-Tec anyone?

[siicknasty]

Its 1.2 millon in fact

[mediumpimpn]

...just goes to show people will literally pay for a pile of shit...as long as it's an over-priced pile of shit.

[siicknasty]

How can you call it a pile of shit you don't even know what your looking at!

[planethaven]

All too true. I work for a guy who has done just that.

[aegismachina]

1 million dollars? thats just stupid. You could build something like this in your backyard.

[HOPPERFZR]

show us all the video when your done

[siicknasty]

its 2.4 millon in dollars its 1.2 millon pounds and i would like to see you build that boat the hole body is made of carbon fiber and only ways 2.3 tones 1600bhp every think is hand made and i mean every think so yh post ur video when your done

[aegismachina]

if it had a t-53 or allison 250 I could see it costing something like that but not a diesel.

[siicknasty]

The hole thing is hand made and is about 70% carbon fiber look up the price of carbon fiber! They had to make the boat a diesel because in england if you make a boat it must me diesel because of some gay law!

[planethaven]

Diesel is a preferable power plant for this style of yacht anyway.

[siicknasty]

How is diesel a preferable engine for this style off? The boat is made to go fast so why would you prefer to use diesel?

[SuckMyToe52]

You can have diesel speed drives. Look up the yacht company spectre. They originally did race boats but do fishing boats now. One of their boats goes 65 and it runs on diesel.

[tem07]

Just went on it today! Amazing.

They do a petrol engine as well.

[1Gaumer]

well its still allot like diesel but if i have that i want to fill up with jet-a

[236260]

I wonder what it sounds like.

[whitetrash21]

That is a beautiful boat. A very well put together video...

You dont happen to have the name of the song used in this video at all though??

[ricardomtu]

quality ?

no i know these vessel very well , and they have more problem than you can think. the engines are not legal by law . they can kill just with the smoke , and the comfort is 0. a cigarette costs lest 10 time and does the same and more speed , the problem is the petrol engines in the cigarette

[d1damo]

wow that is one awesome looking boat

[xXzazomyXx]

Actually, the fastest speed reached so far in the XSR48 is a whopping 128 knots.

[livefullon]

Sorry to correct you, but the racing version did 128 mph, the XSR48 prototype 106 mph.... still f----n fast.... but more stunning was the acceleration and cornering speeds.... which were truly beyond belief!!!!

[xXzazomyXx]

This thing is unreal, I got a ride with one in Lymmington, just off the needles. At 65 knots it feels like you aren't moving at all, and the steering is so sensitive that one could simply turn the boat with one hand, at 50 knots, which is near on impossible in any other boat.

[soaringman]

super boat with super gas bill and super polution, yah how great

[livefullon]

I blagged a ride at Monaco yacht show with there test pilot who is ex-SBS, you guys have no concept of what they have achieved, running cross sea in 2/3m at over 70 knots, fully enclosed harnessed in.... like nothing on earth, 60+ knots in corners, bi-turbo acceration, when we got back to the dock people were all over it taking shots, what a pose!!! U need 2 look at the facts before knocking people who have created something truly unique, cant afford one, but 4 sure will find someone who can!

[2X4711]

to slow. looks lick a rc boat.

XRS48, take an example of a turbine powered boat ! i think 48 means 48 nots. Hahaha

[Coldplay120]

OMG what is that music? Please....someone tell me! That is awesome.

Boat is badass btw, I can imagine James Bond in that....and of course myself.

[Sphinxpdq]

Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

[SOCJBJA]

This thing looks like the 118 Wallypower but the 118 has much more style and speed than this thing...Even though this boat shown here is pretty sick.

[geohack]

Nope, this is faster, doing 90knots, while the 118 does only 60. But indeed, style-wise, the 118 is just unsurpassable ! Great little boat !

[truthspeaker2000]

what a waste of resources

[apha87]

it's crappy and too slow. stupid pricy!

[siicknasty]

TOO slow huh its the fastest boat you can by with out getting a race boat!

[planethaven]

Again not true, where are you getting this info from man?!

[planethaven]

It is just not the case that it is the fastest thing this side of a race boat, sorry.

[ciolazza]

Ahhahaha .... Have you ever seen the WALLY POWER 118'???????? xsr48 sucks

[goldor1]

thats so cool

[joncast64]

Sorry, but any powerboat is just old school compared to the Sea Phantom. (Seaphantom com)

At speed every part of this revolutionary new watercraft lifts out of the water except the engine, and two six foot long foils. Because of this, it's the fastest thing on water and uses only one fifth the amount of fuel as a powerboat the same size.

Not to mention it only costs $500.000...

[solarcat1]

I really hope this guy makes it. The Navy has taken an interest so that will help. I called him last year when he was just getting up to speed, but he needed computers to handle the trim. Very difficult boat to get on plane.

[deceptinator]

wow! that's so impressive! love that music. it's like weedle deet deeet deet weedlee deet. then the boats goes over some other place. weedlee deet! engine! ice bergs! ca ca ca ca coke ain!

[Furrowbrow]

Haha!

Yeah. the guy that first came up with weedle deet should get a nobel prize or something. There's just not enough weedling or deeting around in music these days.

[jasonalexanderv2]

HAHAHA! Furrow, that is quite the humorous observation on "weedle deeting". :)

[pellinger]

what a fantastic beast. I want one and I dont care what it costs!

[jtay2583]

Dont we all but when it retails for more than $1,960,000US i dont think it is going to happen

[Moyman23]

so would you die for one?

[kiteboat]

Awesome. I want two....

[whatwillbewillbe]

what is this music. its cool !!!. the row boat is pretty cool too!!! mmm. i wonder if itll fit in the bay of the wally 118? lol
