If you've been cruising along the coast off Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in the French Riviera then you might have spotted a luxury vessel that looks like a cross between a boat and a car.

The unusual design is Mercedes-Benz's first foray into the world of motor yachts, which is the first vessel to bear the name of Mercedes-Benz Style.

Measuring at just over 46 feet long, the Arrow 460 Granturismo has a price tag that begins at $1.7 million (?1.2 million) and represents 'luxury, style and pleasure'.
The vessel is nicknamed 'Silver Arrow of the Seas', after the manufacturer's 1930s racing cars.

The original plans were unveiled in 2012 at the Monaco Yacht Show with the official debut set for spring this year.

It's taken its inspirations from the Mercedes-Benz racing cars dating back to the 1930s according to MBY.com.
