Mega plans for a luxury 260ft superyacht have finally been revealed.

The Superleggera 80 has been dubbed a ‘sports car on the high seas’ for its sleek design and fantastic range of hi-tech features from a skylight bar to a stateroom and a gym, reports the Sun.

The creators – Oceanco – has revealed brand new renders of the Hot Lab designed superyacht that showcases it’s elegant exterior that calls back to the style of a 1960s super car.

Designed to look like a large penthouse with a chic interior, the team behind the ambitious project made a few key design choices to open up the already huge yacht.

Packed with fancy glassware to ensure the yacht is always illuminated with natural light out at sea and huge open spaces for endless possibilities, the yacht is a piece of art.

The Superleggera 80 has a 16ft tall main deck with an infinity pool as the main feature.

A classy bar area, massive living space, curved furniture and extensive windows all accompany the impressive deck specifically designed to be “never boring”.

Antonio Romano and Enrico Lumini of Hot Lab said: “Our ethos is to provide ‘architecture for voyagers’, using an eraser more than a pencil in our pursuit to design timeless and elegant yachts that are contemporary but never boring.”

Equipped with a gym area paired with a huge mirrored wall, the boat is excellent for both sea lovers who want to relax or stay active on holiday.

The yacht also has bedrooms fit for royalty with an owner’s stateroom and six comfortable and spacious guest suites.

Oceanco is also open to offers around personal customisation options to the boat to perfectly tailor to any client needs and preferences.

Options that are already able to be hand-picked by a new owner include water sports and diving opportunities, state-of-the-art entertainment packages, IT and lighting installation and enhanced sustainability with a smart-eco package.

This package includes variable speed generators that offer high fuel efficiency and the capabilities to run on low-carbon bio diesel fuels.

It is the latest design in the Simply Custom range that includes 17 other sea vessels that have all been customised by different designers.

Jaw dropping plans for a shark inspired £826 million (AUD$1.567 billion) superyacht fit for a king have also been unveiled.

The flashy floater is set to be so huge passengers will need a golf cart to explore its lavish confines.

Outrageous is the brainchild of Italian design studio Lazzarini, and its design is inspired by a hammerhead shark.

The windows of the ship will pay homage to this and will represent teeth and gills.

The 322 metre-long boat boasts a huge top deck which overhangs the bow, mimicking the distinctive eye and nostrils characteristics of its sea life inspiration.

The vessel is also painted in a sharklike grey for added effect.

The Lazzarini design studio is known for its quirky concepts, which have included a yacht fused with two blimps, and a £6.8 billion (AUD$13 billion) turtle-shaped floating city previously.

If it’s ever built the turtle would become the largest floating structure ever seen, coming in at over 1,800ft long.

At its peak capacity it could host 60,000 guests in a move that would effectively make it a floating city.
