Lexus LY 650 motor yacht unveiled

Following 2017’s Sport Yacht Concept, Lexus has introduced the production-ready LY 650.

Designed in collaboration with Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard, this flybridge cruiser combines an overall length of 19.9 metres (65’ 5”) and a beam of 5.8 metres (18’ 11”). The luxurious interior features a spacious seating area and galley on the main deck, while downstairs there are three two-berth en-suite cabins.

A mixture of carbon fibre reinforced plastic and glass fibre reinforced plastic is used for the lightweight yet highly rigid hull. Power comes from a pair of Volvo Penta 12.8 litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engines that are available in three states of tune:
  • IPS1050 – 789 bhp (588 kW / 800 PS)
  • IPS1200 – 887 bhp (662 kW / 900 PS)
  • IPS1350 – 986 bhp (735 kW / 1,000 PS)
The Lexus LY 650 is actually being built in the United States by Marquis Yachts of Wisconsin. However, the Toyota Production System has been adopted, which is reckoned to benefit both manufacturing quality and efficiency.

Sales are due to begin next month.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
