Buy a Yacht, Get a Supercar Free

How about a luxury BOGO?  Well then, why not step up and grab this £17m Strand Craft SC122 with free supercar?  Yeah, that’s what we’re talking about!

Beating the Bugatti Veyron hands down for exclusivity, the supercar has 880bhp from its twin-turbo V12 engine and a claimed top speed of 234mph. Only six will be built, each capable of hitting 60mph from rest in 3.2 seconds.

Designed by Eduard Gray, the car is so synonymous with the yacht that the company doesn’t seem to have named it. The supercar will spend most of its time in the custom garage below deck while its owner enjoys the supreme luxury of the yacht.

The SC122 is a vision of absolute splendour inside and out, kitted out with 52-inch televisions and a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system in every room. There are four double bedrooms, too.

Its power dwarfs that of the accompanying supercar. Twin Rolls-Royce engines each pump out over 4,000bhp, and there’s an optional 5,000bhp booster if the standard amount just won’t do.

That power enables the yacht to reach 55 knots – though at just over 60mph, it’s actually quite sluggish compared to the car.

Why not?  I mean, how often do BOGO’s as luxurious as this one come up?
