At 3 feet in length, this 1953 Ferrari Hydroplane Model, selling at no reserve, is an impressive piece of craftsmanship. Built of high-gloss wood, genuine leather, and metal, this scale model of what was once the world’s fastest boat—and the only one said to be powered by a Ferrari V12—is intricately detailed. It’s mounted on a black display stand displaying a gold plaque reading “Ferrari – Leggenda e Passione.” The gallery photos show the detail of this scale model, right down to its many fasteners, the real red leather seat, and even the gauges on the instrument panel.
As reportedly the only Ferrari-powered racing boat in history, the “Arno XI Hydroplane” set the world speed record for watercraft at just over 150 mph in October 1953. Well-known driver Achille Castoldi is said to have secured a 4.5-liter Ferrari V12 engine to be installed in a custom hydroplane to try to set the water speed record. After being tuned by famous Ferrari chief racing engineer Stefano Meazza, who added twin superchargers to boost output to over 500 horsepower, Castoldi locked in the water speed record in the fall of 1953.
