For supercar addicts, Lamborghini ’s Raging Bull badge has a prestige value that surpasses just about every other automotive marque. Who can forget the iconic Miura   and   Countach , for example, or fail to recognize the outrageously aggressive styling and high-pitched roar of a 12-cylinder Aventador when it looks like a blurred shadow passing on the highway?

This New Superyacht Line Wants You to Feel Like You’re Cruising in a Sports Car

The company has long produced big-block marine engines for offshore powerboat racing, but in 2020, it announced a collaboration with Tecnomar, part of The Italian Sea Group, to transpose the Lamborghini spirit into a ferociously styled, high-speed motoryacht.

The first Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 (the 63 references the yacht’s length in feet and Lamborghini’s 1963 foundation) is now in the water. Robb Report was able to experience the yacht’s thrilling performance firsthand during an invitation-only event at Tecnomar’s Tuscany-based shipyard.

“What we didn’t want was to simply have a car on the water,” said Mitja Borkert, director of Lamborghini’s Centro Stile. “It would have been very naive to just take the car shape and put it on top of a hull. It had to be supremely clean and classy.”

”One of the biggest challenges was maintaining a very low profile like the cars, because on a yacht you need a certain amount of headroom for comfort,” adds Gian Marco Campanino, art director at The Italian Sea Group. “It was a balance between making everything as light and sleek as possible, but also robust and vibration free.”

A trademark Lamborghini motif is the distinctive hexagonal shape of its supercars when viewed from the front or rear. This has been subtly reproduced in the angled hull windows and open transom of the yacht.

Other features on the 63 reference specific Lamborghini models: The two leather pilot seats are adapted versions of those in the Huracan Evo with Sparco racing seatbelts; the helm is based on the steering wheel of the Aventador (minus the paddle shifts and air bag); and the verde gea paint job is the same as the new limited-series Siàn FKP 37 , powered by hybrid technology. Even the dashboard graphics and aviation-style cover on the start/stop buttons are the same as the cars.

While the hull is made of fiberglass for strength, the carbon-fiber superstructure is designed to keep the weight down and center of gravity low. Under the aft sunpad are a pair of gleaming MAN V12 diesel engines, 2,000 hp each.

When combined with a slippery hull form and surface drives, they provide a top speed in excess of 60 knots, making this 63-footer one of the fastest yachts in her class. At a cruising speed of 40 to 45 knots, she burns around 100 gallons of fuel per hour for a range of 360 nautical miles.

High speed usually means a bumpy ride, yet despite a stiff breeze that was kicking up three-foot waves during a test run, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 ran close to her redline speed, with no slamming and minimal vibration. She also proved a very dry boat: at the end of the trial there was hardly a drop of seawater on the windshield.

The 63 was designed to be a fast day boat or weekend cruiser. Behind the helm is a dinette and galley station, pop-up television and rear sunpad. Belowdecks is a forward master suite and guest cabin with twin single berths, both with sporty, carbon-looking trim and gray-and-yellow leather upholstery that carries Lamborghini’s automotive style to the water.

With a base price of about $3.5 million, the performance yacht is aimed at Lamborghini’s existing client base. The Italian Sea Group was reluctant to say exactly how many units have been sold to date. It did confirm, however, that available build slots through 2022 have already been reserved.

Interior revealed of first Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 speedboat following delivery

The interior of the new Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 speed boat has been revealed after the Italian Sea Group delivered the first hull in the series to its owner. 

“It is a profoundly emotional moment,” said the owner at the delivery ceremony. “The Italian Sea Group has realised a unique yacht with incredible performance – a true jewel of the sea.”

“We are proud to witness the essence of Lamborghini’s DNA now sailing at sea with the same attitude as our super sports cars face the pavement," strategy director of Automobili Lamborghini, Stefano Rutigliano added. "This yacht represents how the shared values and the perfect synergy of the two teams is the key to the realisation of excellent products.”

It comes after the first hull was launched at a ceremony last month.

• The coolest yacht and luxury car crossover projects

The 19.2 metre motor yacht weighs 24 tonnes and is a crossover of the two brands, designed to satisfy customers who enjoy both superyachts and supercars. The first hull features a distinctive gold hull paint and details that reference the colours of the Italian flag, but all models are customisable to the owner's wishes.

The yacht’s design is inspired by Lamborghini’s Siàn FKP 37 model, a carbon-fibre hybrid sports car that can reach speeds of 220mp. On the water, this yacht can hit a top speed of 60 knots under the power of her two MAN V12-2000HP engines, making her the fastest vessel of the Tecnomar fleet.

Using the same materials as a Lamborghini supercar, the custom-finished motor yacht is constructed from a special "carbon skin" and features the distinctive engine start button as cars made by the Italian manufacturer. Other details include an extremely aerodynamic profile, a hard top inspired by the Lamborghini roadster models and bow lights which pay homage to the concept car Terzo Millennio.

A Look Inside Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63

In May 2020 the ultimate collaboration was formed between The Italian Sea Group and Lamborghini which led to the birth of the now famous “Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63”.

With the Italian Sea group renowned for being one of the largest and best yachting groups internationally and Lamborghini as supercar legends, the addition to the Tecnomar fleet is a guaranteed head turner.  

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht interior

The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht almost has the feel of a spaceship from the movie Tron rather than that of a luxury yacht.

The futuristic shapes and materials embody the feel of any other modern Lamborghini vehicle.

Entirely developed by The Italian Sea Group, the design inspiration was heavily influenced by the Lamborghini Siàn FKP 37 , a perfect blend of technology and comfort.

While using the same materials that are normally used in Lamborghini cars, the perfection and attention to detail are highly evident in this masterpiece.

Although it was mainly designed for quick day trips, the yacht is also ideal for weekend getaways as it has a spacious master suite and a twin guest cabin.

The rooms are stylish and comfortable and have perfectly maximized use of the 63-foot length.

The Italian Sea Group art director, Gian Marco stated that the biggest hurdle was maintaining the sleek low profile of a sports car while ensuring there was enough headroom for comfort inside however the final result has perfectly struck the balance between the two.

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 specifications

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is as the name suggests, 63 feet in length (20.42 meters), the length also is significant in that it is a tribute to the year that Lamborghini was founded – 1963.

The yacht has a width of 5.4 meters and weighs approximately 24,000 kilograms (24 tons).

Powered by MAN 24-liter twin-turbo engines, her diesel tanks can hold 3,600 liters of fuel and she can reach speeds up to 60 knots with a comfortable cruise speed of 40 knots.

With an impressive 3,945 horsepower, Tecnomar for Lamborghini is the fastest in the Tecnomar fleet with the ability to reach a range of 210 nautical miles.

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht exterior

The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63’s carbon fiber superstructure was designed to maintain a low center of gravity while minimizing the weight of the vessel to ensure optimal performance.

The hull has been designed to minimize vibration while comfortably cruising at 40 knots even in less-than-desirable weather conditions.

Her streamlined structure and futuristic modern design are sure to make for the center of attention out on the water.

Currently, the Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 is worth €3.1 million which is similar to its car counterpart.

To date, Lamborghini has been reluctant to say how many of the yachts have been sold, however, the model has been well marketed with the help of Connor McGregor who purchased one in May 2022 for his 34th birthday in Ibiza.

The Lamborghini Yacht

Lamborghini 63 by tecnomar yachts.

We gave our Boating experts one job:

Find the Lamborghini boat. Our team has researched this performance yacht, bringing years of experience on the water to bear. Our assignment continues until we ultimately get the chance to test spin Tecnomar’s impressive vessel.

Where to buy tecnomar lamborghini 63 yacht:.

You’ve just taken delivery of your new Lamborghini Siàn FKP 37, one of only 63 built by the exclusive Italian carmaker. Now it’s time for your annual pilgrimage to the Mediterranean for a little R&R, and you’re conflicted. Do you leave your beautiful Siàn ashore, snoozing until you return from your salty voyage? Surely, there must be a better way!

Rest easy, friend; there is a solution to this #billionaireproblem. Enter the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 super yacht, the first seagoing Lambo. Designed from the keel up to match your Siàn supercar, this superyacht provides the ride, speed, and quality you’re used to.

Many other luxury auto companies have attempted to take their brand names to sea, including Bugatti, Ferrari, Pininfarina, and Porsche. But the Lambo yacht has a few key differences that set it apart, so let’s dive in and look at what makes this limited-edition Italian motor yacht so unique.

Things we like:

Things we don't like:, is 63 the perfect number the tecnomar for lamborghini 63 proves it might be.

What’s in a number? For the Lamborghini yacht, it’s all about the number 63. Most obviously, the yacht is 63 feet long and has a max speed of 63 knots on the water. Why? Because Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his car company in 1963, and this boat is nothing if not an ode to those iconic supercars.

As a final flourish, Tecnomar will only make 63 of these limited-edition yachts. Originally announced in 2020, the 63 made waves a year later when hull number one of the supercar yacht was delivered to renowned (or perhaps infamous) Mixed Martial Arts fighter Conor Macgregor.

The boat is styled to closely resemble the Lamborghini Siàn supercar, with big and small elements reminding you of that all-important fact. Lamborghini fans will need no reminding, but the $3.3 million Siàn is also a limited production masterpiece, with only 63 being built.

But this is no simple branding collaboration between luxury goods companies. Lamborghini’s design team worked closely with Tecnomar , a boutique yacht builder of the Italian Sea Group. Everything from the aesthetic design to performance and handling was tuned to feel like a Lamborghini.

Lamborghini 63 Design

It’s obvious that the Lamborghini 63 yacht is unlike anything else on the water—in fact, that’s how it’s designed to be. This yacht was the brainchild of the famous Italian supercar maker, and they partnered with an equally notable yard to create their one-of-a-kind superyacht.

Lamborghini DNA is everywhere on this boat . From the outside, the angular lines and hexagonal shapes are obvious. But that’s not where it stops. Look closely, and you’ll notice that the stern line chocks look like Lambo exhaust pipes, the bow and stern lights look like auto lights, and the air vents look like they’ve come right off the car. There are integrated LED accent lights throughout and hexagon-shaped grab handles.

Step up to the helm, and you’re in for more Lamborghini treats. The steering wheel and dual start/stop buttons are right from the car’s dash . The instrument panel is made to look just like the car’s, with the same fonts and layout. To complete the feel, the pilot’s chair is right out of the Siàn.

But these aesthetics are meaningless if the boat doesn’t drive and feel like a Lamborghini. To achieve that, Tecnomar ensured that every yacht component was carefully planned to benefit its performance . While the boat is full of features befitting a watercraft of this size and class, this is truly a performance boat.

Working from the engine compartment forward, the designers measured and weighed every component. The result is an everything-you-need, nothing-you-don’t approach that keeps the weight down and the speed up.

Even the toilet seat is made of carbon fiber to cut weight, just like Conor MacGregor cuts weight for an MMA fight.

The boat has a gyro stabilizer and a generator, but only smaller models. There is no bow thruster–this is done to shave weight. Instead, Tecnomar uses a joystick controller on the dual engines for effective maneuvering, similar to pod drive systems.

Weight savings are at the heart of this 24-ton yacht. Its weight might seem like a lot to car fans, but it’s extremely light in the world of 63-foot motor yachts. No expense was spared; for example, the entire hull structure and all components are made from carbon fiber . Faux teak is used in place of the real thing, not only for the modern look but to keep it as light as possible.

The engine compartment is another unique feature of this vessel. Where many boats consider the engine room a below-decks affair, the Lambo yacht brings its dual V12, German-built MAN diesel engines front and center. Each engine produces 2,000 horsepower thanks to its dual wastegate turbochargers and common rail injection system.

Powerful as they are, these beastly engines are also thirsty drinking up 400 liters per hour each!

The access hatch, which comprises most of the aft deck lounge, lifts on hydraulics to provide an expansive view of the vessel’s inner workings. The engine room is a sight to behold, much more like looking under a Lambo hood than looking at a yacht’s engine room.

Lamborghini Boat Features

The overall design and aesthetics of the boat are clearly of Lamborghini’s caliber, but what about the small touches? Those notes of class and luxury make you know you’re sitting in, driving, and owning one of the most amazing automobiles on the planet—can those little touches be replicated in a yacht?

Throughout the boat, the owners completely customize colors and materials with the Lamborghini Ad Personam program . If you already have your Siàn, you can make the yacht match it precisely. Carbon fiber skins, leather, and Alcantara are used throughout to mimic the luxury automotive interior you’d expect.

On deck, the central helm—or pilot cockpit, as Tecnomar calls it—dominates the cockpit area. Aft of this is a small galley area with a fridge, then a large dining table area, with aft and forward-facing benches built around a hexagon-shaped table.

The entire area is protected from the elements by frameless side windows on the gunwale. A large carbon fiber t-top overhead has a skylight and full front windshield to keep the 63-knot wind out of your eyes.

Aft of this is the lift-up engine cowl, which is a large sun pad lounge. The forward deck features another large lounge pad. The anchor locker is completely hidden under an access hatch on the bow.

While the deck layout remains constant, three layouts are available for down below . Interior accommodation can be set up with one cabin, two cabins, or a lounge version . The single-cabin version features a large private stateroom with a king-sized berth at the forward end of the boat.

There is a walk-through galley to starboard and a head (bathroom) on the port side.

On the two-cabin version, a second small cabin has two single berths that can be connected to make one double berth. The same king-sized master berth is forward. Hull windows provide plenty of light in both staterooms.

The lounge version is unique. With an open design concept down below, the yacht is appointed with large sofas and a wardrobe. It features a day head for guests and a private head for the owner.

Supercar Yacht Amenities

The Tecnomar for Lamborghini yacht is full of supercar-inspired small touches that stand out . Carbon fiber, suede, and Alcantara fabrics line the boat from stem to stern. It’s sometimes challenging to find where the obsession with weight-cutting ends and the luxury begins. Does the carbon fiber toilet actually help this yacht move faster, or is it just a classy reminder that you’re on a Lambo boat?

But you likely don’t need reminding. The Lamborghini badge is mounted on the prow and stern quarters. You’ll also find it embroidered on the helm seats and the walls of the owner’s cabin. The Y’s and hexagons, so closely associated with the Lambo design, are placed everywhere. Even the portlight above the master stateroom is shaped like a Lambo hood badge.

But, while the yacht’s amenities are beautiful and the fit-and-finish is superb , it is not the most luxuriously appointed yacht you’ll find. The galley is basic; the dining and living spaces are sparse. You won’t find large appliances here, like refrigerators, freezers, or standard marine cookers.

The simplicity of amenities comes down to its purpose built performance profile. Nonetheless, there’s not questioning the quality of the trimmings.

True to the boat’s automotive heritage, this vessel can zip from port to port with speed and comfort. Ideal cruising speed is around 40 knots (46 mph). Once in port, however, you’ll dine in the fine restaurants and maybe even stay at a top-tier resort. The accommodations of the Lambo boat are sufficient for spending a night or two on board, but they’re not on par with a blue water yacht that you’ll want to spend day after day cruising on.

Lambo Boat Price/Quality

The price tag of the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 has been listed for anywhere between 3.4 and 4.5 million US dollars. A lot of variation has to do with the amenities and customizations chosen by the owner, which can drive the price up considerably. Introductory pricing in 2020 was also slightly lower than what you’ll find listed today.

The quality of the Lamborghini yacht is unmistakable and second to none. From its design aesthetic and use of the best materials and components available, this yacht is a work of art and a collector’s item.

purchase a larger, more luxurious motor yacht that can travel farther with greater comfort. If you like Italian luxury sports yachts, how about the amazing Pershing 7X?

Do We Recommend the Lamborghini Boat?

So, is the Lamborghini yacht something for mere mortals or celebrity MMA stars? The answer entirely depends on the buyer and why they’re buying a yacht in the first place.

Nothing else will do for someone looking for a limited-edition Italian sports boat to match their limited-edition Lamborghini Siàn. It also fits the need for a super fast super yacht—its 63-knot top speed puts it on the short list of fastest motor yachts. And it will be the talk of the marina, no matter where you go.

In short, the Lambo boat is one of a kind and worth the money if the brand aesthetic and speed are what you’re after.

But, as with the Siàn, the Lambo yacht is not the right yacht for most people. Yachts aren’t cars, after all. No one buys a Lamborghini to sleep in or take long road trips. A yacht should be about overnights, luxury meals, entertainment, and long cruises.

If you want to get there fast, make a memorable entrance, and start the party, the Lamborghini 63 by Tecnomar might be just the boat for you. But if you want a useful yacht that can cruise farther and more comfortably, there are better options.

Frequently asked questions

No, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 supercar yacht is not the fastest yacht on the ocean. Several custom-built yachts can best the Lambo yacht’s 63-knot top speed. The motor yacht Foners and the World is Not Enough planing yachts are generally credited as the fastest, with a top speed around 70 knots. Still, the Lambo boat is easily in the top ten fastest yachts on the water.

Tecnomar has made only 63 models for Lamborghini. Supply is short and demand will have to cope with the $4 million price tag.

History of Ulyanovsk

Ulyanovsk in the 17th-19th centuries.

In 1648, by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the fortress of Sinbirsk was founded on the right bank of the Volga River in order to protect the eastern borders of the Tsardom of Russia from the raids of nomadic tribes (Nogai Tatars), as well as to colonize the Volga region.

In the fall of 1670, Sinbirsk was unsuccessfully besieged by the army of Stepan Razin - the Don Cossack, who was the leader of the 1670-1671 uprising, the largest in the history of pre-Petrine Russia. In 1678, 1,579 people lived in Sinbirsk.

In 1729, the coat of arms of Sinbirsk was approved - a white pillar topped with a golden crown in the azure field. In 1780, Sinbirsk was renamed Simbirsk. In 1793, 13,317 people lived in this town.

In 1812, Ivan Goncharov, a famous Russian novelist and critic, was born in Simbirsk. In 1836, Emperor Nicholas I visited Simbirsk and made a lot of orders for the construction of new buildings in the town, especially in its central part. In 1840, the Simbirsk Theological Seminary was opened.

More Historical Facts…

In 1845, a monument to Nikolay Karamzin (1766-1826) was opened - the author of one of the first generalizing works on the history of Russia and a reformer of the Russian literary language, who was born near Simbirsk. Today, this monument erected in Karamzin Public Garden is one of the symbols of Ulyanovsk. In 1848, one of the first libraries in the Volga region was opened in this town - the Karamzin Public Library.

In the summer of 1864, a terrible fire occurred in Simbirsk, which lasted 9 days. Only one fourth of the town buildings survived. In 1867, the merchant Yurgens opened the first bookstore in Simbirsk. In 1870, the future “leader of the world revolution” Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) was born in Simbirsk. Alexander Kerensky, a prominent Russian politician and statesman, was born here in 1881. According to the 1897 census, 43.3 thousand people lived in Simbirsk.

Ulyanovsk in the first half of the 20th century

From 1908 to 1912, Igor Kurchatov, the future creator of the Soviet atomic bomb, lived in Simbirsk with his parents and studied at the local gymnasium. In 1916, the construction of the Imperial Bridge over the Volga River was completed in Simbirsk. With a length of 2,089 meters, it was the longest bridge in the Russian Empire at that time.

After the First World War and the Russian Civil War, the city’s industry was in ruin. During the war years, not a single building was constructed in Simbirsk, street lighting disappeared, boulevards and parks fell into disrepair, up to a hundred residential buildings were destroyed.

On May 9, 1924, in connection with the death of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin), Simbirsk was renamed into Ulyanovsk, and Simbirsk Governorate - into Ulyanovsk Governorate. Other proposed options for the new name of the city were such as “Lenin”, “Leninsk”, “Ilyich”.

By the end of the 1930s, almost all churches in Ulyanovsk were destroyed or used for other purposes. On the eve of the Second World War, Ulyanovsk was a provincial city with a population of about 110 thousand people. There were no large industrial enterprises, with the exception of the 3rd State Plant named after Volodarsky (Ulyanovsk Cartridge Plant) - one of the oldest defense enterprises in Russia, specializing in the production of cartridges for rifled weapons.

During the Second World War, Ulyanovsk became the place of evacuation of 17 industrial enterprises from the occupied regions and the front line. The Minsk Tank School, renamed the 2nd Ulyanovsk Tank School, was relocated from Minsk, the Mogilev Military Infantry School, which became the Ulyanovsk Military Infantry School, was relocated from Mogilev. In 1942, a medical institute evacuated from Voronezh began to work in Ulyanovsk.

From October 1941 to August 1943, the Moscow Patriarchate was in evacuation in Ulyanovsk, headed by Metropolitan Sergius. From 1942 to 1945, Andrei Sakharov, the future creator of the hydrogen bomb, academician and human rights activist worked at the Ulyanovsk Machine-Building Plant.

On January 19, 1943, Ulyanovsk became the center of the newly formed Ulyanovsk Oblast. From the second half of 1941 to the beginning of 1942, the population of Ulyanovsk, due to the evacuees, doubled and amounted to more than 200 thousand people. By 1945, as a result of re-evacuation, it decreased by 50 thousand and amounted to 152 thousand people.

Ulyanovsk after the Second World War

In the post-war period, Ulyanovsk became an industrial city. In 1953, during the construction of the Volga cascade of hydroelectric power plants, part of Ulyanovsk was included in the flooding zone of the Kuibyshev reservoir. In 1957, the Ulyanovsk airport was built. Since the 1960s, thanks to the high rates of housing and industrial construction, Ulyanovsk began to grow rapidly both in area and in population. On May 5, 1967, the 300,000th resident of the city was born.

In the 1969-1970s, in honor of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Lenin, the historical center of Ulyanovsk was built up with modern buildings: the hotel “Sovetskaya”, the House of Artists, the Memorial Center of Vladimir Lenin, the hotel “Venets”, the new railway station Ulyanovsk-Tsentralny, the new river station, the central airport Ulyanovsk-Tsentralny, the central department store, the central bus station, the Palace of Pioneers, the park “Friendship of Peoples”, etc.

With the construction of the Memorial Center of Vladimir Lenin, Ulyanovsk became one of the main tourist centers of the USSR, after Moscow and Leningrad. The city was not closed to foreigners, which distinguished it from many other industrial regional centers, but foreign tourists were not allowed to deviate from the route. On June 1, 1973, the 400,000th resident of Ulyanovsk was born. On April 16, 1982, the population of Ulyanovsk exceeded 500 thousand people.

On June 5, 1983, in Ulyanovsk, the river cruise ship “Alexander Suvorov” crashed into the railway bridge across the Volga (the Imperial Bridge). By mistake of the crew, the ship tried to pass under the non-navigable span of the bridge. As a result, more than 170 people died. The large number of casualties is explained by the fact that at the time of the collision, most of the passengers were in the movie theater and on the dance floor on the upper deck, which was completely destroyed by the collision with the bridge girder.

On July 17, 1987, the 600,000th resident of Ulyanovsk was born. The city’s tourist significance declined sharply after the collapse of the USSR. In 1998, Ulyanovsk celebrated its 350th anniversary.

In the 2000s, there was a discussion about the reverse renaming of the city to Simbirsk, but the residents of Ulyanovsk for the most part did not support this proposal. In 2009, the arches of the old railway bridge were replaced. On November 24, 2009, the Presidential Bridge across the Volga was opened, the second longest in Russia, with a length of about 6 kilometers.

Ulyanovsk - Features

From 1648 to 1780, the name of Ulyanovsk was Sinbirsk, and from 1780 to 1924 - Simbirsk. This name was given to the town by its founder, Bogdan Khitrovo, after the name of the settlement of Sinbir (named after the Bulgarian prince Sinbir), the remains of which were located nearby. In 1924, after the death of Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin), Simbirsk was renamed into Ulyanovsk.

Ulyanovsk is located in a forest-steppe zone on the Volga Upland, on both banks of the Volga River (Kuybyshev Reservoir). The climate is moderately continental. The average temperature in February is minus 10.4 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 20.2 degrees Celsius. A characteristic feature of Ulyanovsk is the constant winds blowing from the Volga.

The banks of the Volga in Ulyanovsk are connected by two bridges. The old railway bridge was officially opened in 1916 and was named “Imperial of His Majesty Nicholas II”. In 1917, it was renamed Freedom Bridge. In 2009, it again began to be called “Imperial Bridge”. The new bridge (also called “Presidential Bridge”) was commissioned on November 26, 2009.

Public transport is represented by trams, trolleybuses, buses, and minibuses. In Ulyanovsk tram lines are located exclusively in the right-bank part of the city and trolleybus lines are in the left-bank part. In the last years of the USSR, it was planned to build a subway in Ulyanovsk.
