Although it's only a concept at the moment, I'm sure you will be wishing that you can get your hands on this sleek, futuristic motorboat. German designer Stefanie Behringer created the Audi trimaran yacht for her graduate project. Based on a trimaran boat model, or one with multiple hulls, this design boasts two built-in [electric jet skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-jet-ski-yacht) and Audi TDI diesel engines. It can fit 12 people on deck, but there is more room below deck.
