This summer, Innespace Productions, located in Redding, Calif., released a killer into the water. It's a speedboat-submersible dubbed the Seabreacher Y that looks a lot like a killer whale. In fact, it's the same size and has a similar-shaped nose, large whale tail, pectoral fins and dorsal fin. The features are not just for looks. The tail helps the boat do a 180-degree backflip. Shut the front door.

The Y comes standard with a 255-horsepower engine, but the one in this picture cranks out 300 horsepower and can reach speeds of 55 miles per hour across the water's surface.
This custom-made two-seater, which costs $86,000 and was built for a person in Abu Dhabi, can be launched 16 feet into the air when breaching. Although this is the first killer-whale-inspired boat, Innespace has built previous models inspired by sharks and dolphins.
