In 2023, Victory Design expanded into construction, introducing Bolide 80, the world's fastest Hyper Muscle yacht, and the first in a range from 60" to 170". Brunello Acampora enthusiastically remarks: "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the esteemed jury for bestowing this prestigious award upon us.
