The new Piaggio Aero P180 Avanti II is as sexy as it is functional.  The three-wing design presents a wild appearance, thanks to two nose-mounted canard wings, a pair of wide-and-thin central wings and the raised T-tail wings in the back.  These wings give the Avanti II a significant advantage in lift, one that provides for plenty of savings in the fuel department. The interior is classy and refined, providing its passengers with a first-class experience throughout their flight.  The cabin can fit 7-9 passengers with a pair of pilots up front, providing comfort space for all 11 on board at maximum.  If you’d like to secure one of your own, it’ll cost you.  The best-in-class performance and first-class interior may justify the $7 million dollar price tag, but only if you’ve got that kind of money to play with.  [via unfinishedman]
