Calibre 102, a black yacht concept by Mahjoub El Mahmoudi – Fit for James Bond
Calibre 102 black yacht concept is a stunning yacht that has an interesting and elegant black and gray paint job with some modern and edgy exterior lines as well as a swift trimaran hull.
The Calibre 102M from MUB Design is a wonderful concept yacht created by Mahjoub El Mahmoudi.
Just looking at it, you can imagine it starring in a James Bond movie, like Regina the superyacht that appeared in Skyfall.
But the MUB Design yacht seems to be even better and just screaming to appear in the next James Bond movie.
According to the billionairesweb.com, the designer explains that the exterior design is inspired by the taper of a bullet – fitting for the arsenal of any bad guy– yet she’s also sleek and sexy, intended to turn heads and stand out from the parade of “wedding cake” yachts in a harbor.
While the 102 meter superyacht has movie star looks, she’s actually quite realistic for a wild concept.
The Calibre 102M is based on the proven hull platform of the next-generation Austal trimaran.
The first of these new Austal trimarans, hull No 270, was purchased for £50 million by Condor to serve as a fast ferry.
It was such fast ferries that inspired Mahjoub El Mahmoudi of MUB Design to create the Calibre 102M.
“Every summer we used to go to spend our family holidays in Morocco, my country of origin.
We started in Paris, and then drove through France and part of Spain to the port of Algeciras, where there were many types of boats,” Mahjoub El Mahmoudi said.
“I remember that I was instantly fascinated by the fast ferries, particularly by their lines and their speed.
I could never hide how excited I was when I went on board – it was a real adventure for me, every time”.
This fascination with fast ferries has translated into the Calibre 102M concept, which is not only designed to be speedy – reaching up to 39 knots thanks to power from three MTU 20V 800 engines – but also extremely comfortable and stable in rough seas, able to handle a swell of five meters or more.
Perfect for a chase scene where a fast getaway is required.
