Discover the Delightful Eccentricity of the Sunseeker XS2000: A Bonkers Tale of a Novelty Powerboat

Once upon a time, in the era of the 1990s, where Audi was known for its polite German saloon cars and hatchbacks, Sunseeker surprised the world by introducing the XS2000. With its origin rooted in the unexpected, this boat was a drastic departure from the builder’s renowned fast, classy weekenders from the Hawk range, making it an entrancing case of delightful bafflement.

Designed by the famed Italian powerboat racer and designer, Fabio Buzzi, the Sunseeker XS2000 was nothing short of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Packed with up to 1,100hp and harboring a barely-civilized, outright racing mentality, this was not your ordinary weekend getaway vessel. Its functionality was so covertly tucked beneath its racing exterior that many would’ve been hard-pressed to guess Sunseeker as its manufacturer at the London Boat Show.
