pierpaolo lazzarini’s carbon fiber capsule switches between electric and jet-drive cruising

pierpaolo lazzarini enhances the jet capsule with super sport

Expanding his collection of innovative water, land, and sky vehicle concepts, Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini introduces the 2024 Jet Capsule Super Sport. Reinventing water mobility, it is characterized by its lightweight design achieved through the use of lightweight materials and a carbon fiber upper structure produced via vacuum-infusion molding. The vessel is further equipped with a powerful 640 hp engine and a full electric docking system, ensuring a versatile and adaptable ride. In length, it measures 8 meters, offering sufficient deck space to accommodate up to twelve passengers in the waters.

The Jet Capsule Super Sport’s lightweight construction method results in a reduction of 500 kg, bringing the vessel’s total weight to 3200 kg — a notable improvement from its predecessor’s 3800 kg. Its adaptability is also evident in its ability to switch to a full electric mode during low-speed cruising for docking procedures. Designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini realizes the interior of the Jet Capsule like its other variations to be fully customizable, accommodating various layouts and optional features such as a dinette, bathroom, beds, and a rear door. Its single-engine propulsion, ranging from 570 hp to 850 hp, caters to individual preferences and operational needs. Capable of reaching 38 knots in 12 seconds, the vessel’s performance can also be built and engineered upon request in Italy, within a timeframe of six to eighteen months.
