Snowy conditions are no match for Lamborghini’s Huracán Sterrato. The Italian automaker recently put the pedal to the metal when testing the supercar’s rally mode in the Italian Alps.

Bridgestone Dueler AT002 run-flat tires also ensured careful navigation on slippery terrain. In case the car came into close contact with any icy obstacles in its way, the aluminum front underbody, sills, rear diffuser, and enhanced wheel arches provide an additional layer of safety and muscularity.

Boaters can gather around the dining table, bar, sofas, or in the reading corner, providing plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing. Leyk adds, “I think it’s important that whatever you do on board you should always find the perfect place to do it.”

Emirates Team New Zealand’s Chase Zero watercraft is innovating the future of hydrogen technology in the boating industry.

The emission-free foiling boat can reach over 50 knots (93 km/h) with a range of 165 nautical miles or 305 kms. Emirates Team New Zealand’s craft is mostly powered by two 80kW Toyota hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen gas, which strips electrons away from H2 molecules through an integrated catalyst, combines with oxygen and air so that Chase Zero expels only pure H2O. Onboard batteries supply additional power during swift changes in power demand.

Compared to similar 11m chase boats, the Chase Zero can travel faster and more sustainably. By utilizing clean, renewable energy sources, the foiling power of Chase Zero showcases what the future of the marine industry could look like. Emirates Team New Zealand CEO Grant Dalton remarks that this project paves the way toward a prototype hydrogen-powered foiling catamaran in the future.
