Since 1994 the "Gran Argentina " is three times Superboat World Champion and universally acknowledged as the fastest monohull in the world!

The hull design is a stepped deep-V, with two transverse steps towards the stern. These steps help to stabilise the pitching at very high speeds and shift the centre of lift forward to help compensate for the heavy weight of the diesel engines. Construction of the hull is in advanced composites, a combination of Kevlar and carbon fibre in sandwich form.

The two man crew occupy dedicated seats in the capsule which is designed around the canopy of an F16 military aircraft. This unique design of capsule is designed to offers protection if the boat nosedives and provide the means of survival if things start to go wrong at very high speed. It is float free if the boat starts to sink and is fitted with oxygen for crew survival.

Propulsed by quadruple Biturbo Seatek diesel engines with an aggregate output of 3300 KW drive what is the fastest monohull in the world at an incredible speed of up to 135 mph (115 knots)! This is a boat for the very select few, as Daniel Scioli (Vice President of Argentina from 2003 to 2007 and current Governor of Buenos Aires Province) the most regular driver, 3 times winner of World Champion Superboat USA and 4 europeans championships.

Modificated in 2000 into long distance record setter, he set the Miami-Nassau-Miami record at 100 MPH average speed!
