Adastra Yacht: $30Million

Taking the power trimaran concept further than has ever been attempted before, the launch of the massive 42-meter Adastra heralds a new age in superyachting.

The Adastra, unveiled last week in China, is the new pleasure cruiser of Hong Kong-based billionaire businessman Anto Marden, who commissioned its construction five years ago. Designed by Sussex-based yacht designer John Shuttleworth, the Adastra can be controlled remotely via iPad. The awe-inspiring behemoth weighs in at a positively leviathan 52 tons, and is 42.5 meters long and 16 meters wide. The Adastra’s hull is wrought from glass and Kevlar, and can comfortably hold nine guests and a crew of six.

Most impressively, the Adastra can function as a traveling craft: with a maximum speed of 22.5 knots and a range of 4,000 nautical miles at 17 knots, the Adastra can conceivably be used to trek from the UK to New York.

Looks Fast

At first glance, Thomas Zebrasky’s Toyota Celica conjures flashbacks of Toyota’s ad campaign a few years back, with the slogan, “Looks Fast”.
