The Stella Maris superyacht showcased an Audi Formula 1 car alongside a Koenigsegg Jesko hypercar in Monte Carlo’s marina, just days before the Monaco Grand Prix.
Luxury vessel details
Built in 2015 and updated in 2018, the 236‑foot yacht houses a spa, pool, beach club and gym, and is valued around $75 million. It also features a sculpture of an F1 car crafted by French artist Antoine Dulfilho. The vessel’s helipad carried the Jesko, while the beach‑club deck displayed the Audi race car.
Hypercar performance and Audi’s F1 return
The Jesko, priced between $2.8 million and $3 million, runs on a 5.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 delivering 1 280 hp, rising to 1 600 hp on E85 biofuel, and is limited to 125 units. Audi re‑entered Formula 1 as a works team for the 2026 season after acquiring Sauber at the end of 2025; the team currently sits ninth in the constructors’ standings with two points, thanks to Gabriel Bortoleto’s ninth‑place finish in the opening Australian Grand Prix.
Monaco Grand Prix context
The race will wind through Monaco’s narrow streets from 5 to 7 June, drawing global attention to the principality’s iconic circuit. The high‑profile yacht stunt adds a layer of spectacle to the weekend’s on‑track action.
