This $500 million concept megayacht was inspired by Japanese anime and designed to look like a swan — take a look at the Avanguardia

Avanguardia megayacht — The Avanguardia concept megayacht.

Rome-based Lazzarini Design Studio unveiled the Avanguardia, a concept megayacht shaped like a swan.
The design was inspired by 1970s and 1980s Japanese anime shows, according to its maker.
The "neck" is movable, and the "head" — which otherwise serves as the command center — can be detached and turned into a tender.
If a client wants to build the yacht, Lazzarini Design Studio estimates the total cost would be about $500 million.

Lazzarini Design Studio unveiled the Avanguardia, a concept megayacht shaped like a swan with a movable neck and removable head.

Avanguardia, which is Italian for vanguard or avant-garde, is a seemingly fitting name for this uniquely shaped yacht that prominently features a swan head-like control tower above the rest of the ship.

According to the Rome-based design studio, the yacht was inspired by several 1970s and 1980s Japanese anime series that depicted the head of robots as command centers. But in terms of the specific swan component, its designer drew inspiration from a single anime: "Casshan", a series that featured a robot swan character pretending to be a woman.

Keep scrolling to see the yacht:The neck of the swan head-control tower would be extendable and movable.

When the yacht is in motion, the neck and head could be lowered towards the middle of the ship and be used as the cockpit.

This maneuverability also would allow the neck to drop towards the water so the head of the swan could be detached and used as a separate 52.49-foot tender.

The Avanguardia adds about 65.62 feet to its length when the neck is lowered towards the water, increasing the total length of the ship to about 515.09 feet.

When the head is detached, the "top part" of the yacht would become the backup control tower.

The removable head isn't the only water toy on the megayacht: the rear of the deck could hold two electric Jet Capsules that are also designed by the company.

This $500 million concept megayacht was inspired by Japanese anime and designed to look like a swan — take a look at the Avanguardia

When the yacht is in motion, the neck and head could be lowered towards the middle of the ship and be used as the cockpit.

This maneuverability also would allow the neck to drop towards the water so the head of the swan could be detached and used as a separate 52.49-foot tender.

The Avanguardia adds about 65.62 feet to its length when the neck is lowered towards the water, increasing the total length of the ship to about 515.09 feet.

When the head is detached, the "top part" of the yacht would become the backup control tower.

The removable head isn't the only water toy on the megayacht: the rear of the deck could hold two electric Jet Capsules that are also designed by the company.

These Jet Capsules could be detached and used as separate watercraft...

... or attached to the structure of the yacht to serve as additional propulsion devices.

Besides the Jet Capsule propulsion, the concept ship is powered by dual electric side engines and a MTU Rolls-Royce Jet engine.

In total, these systems give the yacht a cruising speed of 18 knots.

The concept megayacht would have five separate decks that can accommodate up to 60 passengers.

Five other tenders — excluding the head — and two helicopters would be able to fit on the yacht ...

... which would have two hangars built-in.

In total, Avanguardia's beam sits at around 72.18 feet with a draft of about 21.33 feet.

If a client wanted to build the Avanguardia, Lazzarini Design Studio estimates that the total cost will come out to around $500 million.
