The Ferrari Arno XI was much more than a simple hydroplane: it was a symbol of prestige, power, and Italian engineering. Built in 1953 by pilot and mechanic Achille Castoldi, in collaboration with Enzo Ferrari, this extraordinary hydroplane still holds the record for motorized hydroplanes.
Its flaming red livery and the roar of its Ferrari V12 engine made it an iconic presence on the waters, commanding respect and admiration in every race.
In September 1953, at Lake Iseo in Italy, the Ferrari Arno XI set a new speed record for motorized hydroplanes: 150.49 miles per hour (242.97 km/h).
This incredible achievement testifies to the power and technological capabilities of the hydroplane, confirming it as an undisputed icon of the world of powerboat racing and Italian engineering.
Despite the decades that have passed since its heyday, the allure of the Ferrari Arno XI continues to captivate the imagination of generations of motor enthusiasts, and beyond.
However, its story had an epilogue: after writing pages of glory in powerboat racing, the Arno XI embarked on its final journey.
In the years that followed, the hydroplane was retired from competition. Nevertheless, its legendary feats remain vivid in the hearts of those who admire its power, speed, and extraordinary history.
