According to another reference, it's being marketed as a yacht tender, something to be parked on the aft deck and lifted ashore for a jaunt to the local club... http://www.siciliarally.com/portale/viewtopic.php?t=3D808 Not sure of the price, it's ultra-light construction (mostly carbon-fiber) and Lambo doors suggest the est. price of 20,000 euros is accurate.
