If ever there was a powerboat that needed to be included in a James Bond movie, The Kormaran would be it. Built like a Formula 1 race car, with a 155 hp engine, it literally transforms at the push of a button from catamaran to trimaran to hydrofoil to “floating island.” For more information on The Kormaran, click here. Take a look at its different modes below.
