Is that a car? A boat?
Neither; this is the Mercier-Jones Supercraft, a hovercraft for multi-millionaires that’s inspired by supercars like the Bugatti Veyron. But unlike a supercar, you can drive it across a lake.

Is it as fast as it looks?
Yup – it’s got a hybrid-electric powertrain with a liquid-cooled 60hp two-rotor engine and twin electric motors, delivering a combined 102hp and taking it to an estimated top speed of 80mph. Unsurprisingly, the manufacturers reckon it stands a good chance of tackling the 56.25mph land-speed and 86.5mph water-speed records.

What about fixtures and fittings?
This is a hand-built luxury vehicle, so you won’t want for creature comforts; it’s made of carbon fibre and packs in GPS, an Android-powered cockpit display, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a 4-speaker sound system with an optional subwoofer, F1-style seats, wood trim and refrigerated personal drink wells. Because what sort of animal would drink a tepid martini in their hovercraft?

Does it come in black? How much?
Expect to pay top dollar for the Supercraft – it’ll start at US$75,000, with ten collectors’ editions going on sale in May and a further 50 available by October this year.

Yes, Bruce Wayne, it does. In “Gotham Night,” appropriately enough.
