    MTI - Well known in the world of offshore powerboating - is planning to debut a special edition "Ferrari" 46' supercat. Not sure if it is to be a one off for a customer or a model they plan to add to their line up. Expect it to be close to a cool $1 million!

    Interesting how they incorporated the Enzo/430 rear tail lights, side vents, and engine covers into the design. Instead of tail lights that is where the exhaust will exit.

    Awesome boat! Looks like they also used 2 engine covers from the 430.

    That's even better than the Miami Vice boat.

    Is this authorized by Ferrari? I assume the engines aren't Ferrari.

    The gentleman that wants to commision the boat hasn't commited as of yet. I checked with the MTI crowd last week when I first heard of this exciting project. He is the same individual that owns the Mercedes 44.

    ...And the most egregious misappropriation of SF shields since the 612 Scaglietti.

    Wow...that looks awesome! MTI's are cool looking on their own, but that just takes it to a whole new level. Can't wait to see what the finish product looks like.

    Hmmmmm, thanks Jeffrey!

    I dunno of anything existing in the Ferrari powerplant lineup to push that puppy.....

    Your P4/5 is between 700 - 800 HP, Mr. G?

    They may could supercharge to get past 1,000Hp each but I don't think that'd be enough to hit the target speed.........

    I haven't kept up with modern hull materials though, maybe weight savings with carbon or kevlar would do it...

    Red is such a tough color for sun fade though, over time!
