Someone just paid $50,500 for a pink Lamborghini Aventador SVJ that runs a Yamaha engine and lives permanently underwater

This Lamborghini Aventador SVJ uses a Yamaha engine and it’s actually a boat, but it’s also a lot cheaper than a real Lambo.

We can see a lot of pros, and only one clear con.

The con being the fact it’s a ‘fake’ Lamborghini.

We’re going to call this the ‘Almost Lambo.’

The attention to detail is commendable

Over the last few years, we’ve seen the rise of water cars inspired by real-world supercars.

And why not?

They look super cool and, evidently, they’re allowed.

This Almost Lambo, for example, looks convincing.

It features the signature sharp front fascia, a dramatic rear wing, and even faux carbon fiber wheels.

Only the angular headlights are noticeably different, and obviously there are badges and logos.

The engine is a Yamaha-built 1.8-liter four-cylinder unit with 250 horsepower, which is not as good as 770hp – that’s what the Aventador SVJ makes – but still pretty good.

Especially for a water car.

This is not cheap, but definitely cheaper than a real Lamborghini

Built by Miami-based Watersports Car, the boat is a remarkably faithful visual recreation of the SVJ, but the price isn’t a faithful recreation.

Back when it was new, a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster, which is technically what this boat is, had an MSRP of around $574,000.

Today, you need at least $800,000 to buy one.

The Yamaha-powered Almost Lambo is cheaper than that, but not super cheap in absolute terms.

It was originally listed for $84,700, and it ended up selling on Bring a Trailer for $50,500.

That’s not a small amount of money.

You can buy a brand-new BMW or Mercedes for that, and a lot of used sports cars.

Then again, it’s all relative.

Anything that is vaguely related to the nautical world is generally super expensive.

So maybe $50,500 for an Aventador-shaped watercraft isn’t that bad.
