An incredible new gigayacht is inspired by the hammerhead shark.

The £860m (Over $1 billion) Outrageous is the brainchild of Italian design studio Lazzarini.

The 1,056 ft-long design incorporates shark-like elements, including windows representing teeth and gills.

A huge top deck overhangs the bow, mimicking the distinctive eye and nostrils characteristics of its sea life inspiration.

The vessel is also painted in a shark-like grey for added inspiration.

A clever heliport can accommodate two helicopters, but can also be retracted to expose the yacht’s leafy interior.

Such is the length of the vessel, owners can employ a golf buggy to travel from end to end.

Other features include five swimming pools, solar panels, ample deck space for lounging and room for several tenders at the stern.

Lazzarini says: “At this stage, the Outrageous is just a concept, however, an estimation in production cost for a client should be around 1B euros (£860m).”

The design studio is known for its quirky concepts, which have included the widest megayacht in the world, a yacht fused with two blimps, and a £6.8 billion turtle-shaped floating city.
