A Lancia Delta Integrale used to be one of my ultimate fantasy cars (times have changed a bit since then), and this Lancia..Lancia with it’s red and blue stripes brought me right back.  Lancia have launched their own version of the Lancia (the name of the Venetian motor taxis) at the Venice Film Festival, of which they are the sponsor.  So, given it’s a Lancia, I imagine it’ll be shit fast and then almost instantly break down.  Then sink.  Beautifully.  Read more after the jump.

Over 40 feet long, it weighs eight and a half tons and packs two 560-horsepower 6.7-liter common-rail turbo diesel engines. It’s capable of transporting 11 passengers, with teak decks, a retractable roof, plenty of sun decks and even accommodations for two below decks.   But, it’s italian, so of course its BLOODY INFLATABLE.  You know, like a lifeboat, or a novelty blow-up whale.  But still kudos on making it even float, let alone go a gazillion miles an hour.
