Was always going to be hard for the Huayra to beat, since the Zonda S/S 7.3 are probably the most beautiful cars of the 2000's. Followed by the Alfa 8C and Ferrari 458. Italian car design still the most striking, from the last century to the current.

Its the weight too, big container ships have 100s of 1000s of horsepower and only go 12 knots. But they can carry tons upon tons. This wally 118 is sweet but probably heavy. 70mph is almost 61 knots and the fastest yacht in the world right now only goes 70 knots or 80mph.
