German Billionaire Offers World's Fastest Long-Range Superyacht for $85 Million
German eco-industrialist Guido Krass is offering to sell his 241-ft. Silver Zwei (above), the world's fastest long-range superyacht, for €59 million (about $85 million). Designed to the billionaire's specifications by Monaco's famed Espen Oeino, the Silver Zwei is about as an environmentally friendly as a yacht of its size and speed can be.
That means high fuel efficiency, which is quite handy when crossing the Atlantic at a cool 22 knots. The yacht's light, airy interior has accommodations for 20 guests in nine cabins including a large owner's suite with private lounge and veranda deck. Earth tones and clean white spaces with orange accents abound.
Luxury touches are in ample supply including an open-air cinema and Jacuzzi on the sundeck, a large sunpad which converts to a dance floor with discotheque lighting and sound systems, a sea level beach club with integrated sauna, and a helipad on the foredeck. Equipped with advanced security and communications systems, she's ready for a new billionaire owner to take the helm.
Anak remukkan kereta bapa RM1.35 juta
BROKDORF, Jerman - Seorang remaja berusia 20 tahun hilang kawalan menyebabkan kereta sport bapanya yang berharga £275,000 (RM1.35 juta) remuk akibat terbabas di sebatang jalan raya di sini, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.
Namun, remaja tersebut dan seorang penumpang wanita berumur 19 tahun hanya mengalami cedera ringan selepas kereta sport Gumpert Apollo itu terbabas baru-baru ini.
Seorang jurucakap polis berkata: "Kereta itu remuk sepenuhnya dan hanya bahagian penumpang yang masih berada dalam keadaan baik."
Pihak berkuasa kini melakukan siasatan bagi mengetahui sama ada remaja itu memandu dengan laju di kawasan yang mempunyai had kelajuan 80 kilometer sejam.
Kereta sport itu merupakan salah sebuah kereta yang paling laju di dunia.
Ia mampu memecut dari 0 hingga 100 kilometer sejam dalam tempoh 2.8 saat. - Agensi
