The XSR Interceptor, also known as “No Boundaries” is a highly exclusive and extremely powerful speedboat that was manufactured by a company named XSMG World. In order for you to understand just how amazing this vessel really is you only need to know one thing: it was built for the military.
The cutting edge boat, the fastest military vessel ever made, is on general sale and is tipped to go for a fraction of its £1.5 million value. When it was launched in 2006 the XSR Interceptor was described as “the Bugatti Veyron of the seas” in homage to its incredible 1,600 hp power and stylish design.
Top Gear host, Jeremy Clarkson, called it “the most beautiful thing ever created by man” when it featured on the BBC show. The cutting edge boat is built from Kevlar and carbon fibre and boasts a camouflage paint job and top spec navigation equipment. It even has a 0.5mm machine gun turret that pops up from inside the front of the vessel although the gun itself is not included in the sale.
The onboard toilets cost a staggering £7,000 and the cabin seats are worth £90,000. The dashboard was created by the same people who made the Bugatti’s, the front deck is crafted out of glass and the rear is made out of the finest teak. It has a range of 1,000 miles and can carry up to 12 passengers.
“Globally the ultra-rich are spending vast amounts of money on luxury “supercars” but there was no marine equivalent, so we challenged ourselves to create one. We wanted the XSR48 to be state of the art so have taken the DNA and high performance of a supercar and transformed it into a boat. The top speed of the boat is 100mph making in the world’s fastest diesel boat. It is the Bugatti Veyron of the marine world.
If you are spending a million pounds you may as well buy something that can take up to five friends and something you can eat, sleep and entertain on. The major advantage of the superboat as opposed to the supercar is the freedom it offers. There are no boundaries with this boat. Everywhere you go these days on land there are speed traps and cameras, but here you just have the wide open ocean in front of you.” said Ian Sanderson, XSMG World boss.
