Racecar-Inspired Yachts

The Bugatti Niniette is Inspired By Classic Bugatti Racecars Of the Past

It may seem odd that a vehicle manufactured by Bugatti should have a top speed of only 70 km/h -- until you realize that the Bugatti Niniette is a luxury yacht and not one of the supercars that the Italian automaker is so famous for.

The Niniette is equipped with a lightweight carbon fiber hull filled with styling cues that stay consistent with classic Bugatti designs, particularly the 57C Atalante and the Type 41 Royale. Its two-tone color scheme is also clearly equipped by Bugatti's road-going oferings.

This yacht is offered in three sizes ranging from 13 meters all the way up to 27 meters. All three yachts pay homage to Bugatti's distinctive design philosophy, and are a fine example of an automaker going beyond its comfort zone to infiltrate a different kind of market, while making it all look easy.
