Making use of a modified Corvette LS powerplant the Python can go from full stop to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds on land and make its way through the quarter in the mid-12s. Not bad for a boat that has all of the aerodynamic ability of a Hi-Ace van. Appropriately, the car's power well-spring is honoured in the Corvette styling of the rear fascia, but she's much prettier on water than land.
