So what is the car? A re-bodied Koenigsegg or something?

Neither the boat nor the car actually exist is my guess.

I can't actually think of a supercar with a twin turbo V12 for it to be based on? Maybe a tuned Mercedes lump?

I dont know a huge amount about boats, ports etc, but are there many ports around where this thing could dock and unload the car easily??

Plus i hate the whole get the car free part!! p1ss off the car isnt free. The boat probs 16.5m and the car 500k. Surely free means giving something to someone at no cost, you'd be giving them £17m for christs sake.

Plenty - with something that size, you would be a private mooring area anyway - the quay or service area is normally wide enough for vans to deliver food / supplies / repair/etc. All of the "desirable" harbors would be fine...

Turning circle might be an issue, as might clearance from grounding at the top of the ramp. Oh and high tide / low tide outside of the Med.
