[April 12] MONACO--The 118 WallyPower , equipped with three gas turbineswhich generates 16,800 HP power that allow to cruise a leisurely 60 knots in flat seas has set the world record for the fastest yacht.

   The 118 WALLYPOWER is a high performance super yacht integrating technology with design, resulting with unique and marked characteristics like the vertical bow, the air inlets, and the deck superstructure.

   At speed, the 118 WALLYPOWER is comfortable and stable as a result of the V hull shape combined with the construction technology and the perfect isolation of the machinery noise and vibration.

   The chameleon-like paint finish is metallic dark green and changes reflections and colour depending on the light and landscape.   

  Three gas turbines generate 16,800 HP power that allow the 118 WallyPower to cruise a leisurely 60 knots in flat seas and tackle rough waters with ease in this ultimate luxury vehicle.

   The designer and founder of Wally Yachts is Luca Bassani Antivari, a 47-year-old Italian entrepreneur and former champion yachtsman who has earned the Monaco-based company an international reputation for customised cruising boats.

  The 118 WallyPower recently won the MYDA, the Millennium Yacht Design Award organised by Seatec (the yachting and shipping technology show of Carrarafiere) for the "Layout of the Third MillenniuM".

   The 118 is known by most from its role as the "Renovatio" in the 2005 science-fiction film The Island.

   It has a range of 1500 miles at 9 knots, or 300 miles at 60 knots. The fuel capacity of the 118 is 22,000 litres or 5812 gallons.

   If the gas turbine engines are all out, the 118 WallyPower uses 14 gallons for every mile at 60 knots. At this rate it uses 951 gallons an hour. The displacement of the 118 WallyPower is 95 tons. It can accommodate 6 guests and 6 crew.

  The beauty and luxury of the 118 WallyPower doesn't come cheap - it's current market price is US $ 17 million when equipped with only twin diesels, compared to US $ 25 million with triple gas turbines.
