Default R8.8 Biocat Catamaran
Not sure if it's the correct category for this one but here goes:

(from Bo Zolland of Vizualtech.se) Design ordered from a Dubai race boat company. Will use one V10 diesel or 2 regular V-8s and will be run on bio fuel for the diesel. Boat is 8.8 meters and expected speeds are in the 100-110 MPH range. The coupe has gull wing doors for access to cockpit area.

Wow it seems weird because something in my brain says "Look, its an Audi R8"

But from a more objective point of view: ABSOLUTELY fantastic. They integrated the design perfectly, must be a very taltend designer.

or, well, in the middle, considering the engine is in the same place in the r8, and the r8 is a mid-engine.

I guess rear-engined (in car terms) would mean the engine would have to be behind the props?
