The Story of Ferrari Hydroplane
The story of Ferrari Hydroplane is related to the Italian speedboat racer Achille Castoldi. Castoldi already achieved speed records in the 1940s with his boat Arno, and then in the early 1950s he decided to build an even faster hydroplane.
One of the most special elements of the project was the contribution of Ferrari. The boat was powered by a Ferrari racing engine, which made the hydroplane one of the most remarkable water speed racing designs of the era.
On October 15, 1953, Achille Castoldi reached a speed of 150.49 mph in the 800 kg boat class. This performance made the Ferrari-powered Arno XI one of the most recognizable machines in classic powerboat racing.
Castoldi retired from racing in 1954, and the boat was owned by Nando Dell’Orto, who continued to race it for several years after minor modifications.
Handmade Mahogany Speedboat Model
The model motorboat Ferrari Hydroplane 57 cm is a handmade, premium-looking ornament. The design, polishing and surface treatment of the hull require great care, and the mirror-like appearance is enhanced by multi-layer varnishing.
The reddish mahogany wood grain is also clearly visible under the high-gloss lacquer layer. The tiny golden rivets, the shiny chrome edges, the metal fittings and the black display base create an elegant, premium overall effect.

The flat, wide hydroplane shape is special both from the side and from above. The rear high spoiler, the starting number 50, the long aerodynamic engine cover and the low cockpit evoke the character of the original racing boat.
