Shahid Khan listed his yacht Kismet for sale, we think he is building a new yacht.

Who is Shahid Khan?
He is the owner of automobile parts manufacturer Flex-N-Gate Corporation. Shahid Khan is also owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars (NFL) and the English Premier League team Fulham FC.

The luxury yacht Kismet was built for Shahid Khan and his wife Ann Carlson. The first Kismet was built by Lurssen yachts and delivered in 2007. In 2014 Kismet was replaced by the 94 meter (308ft) motor yacht Kismet 2, also built at Lurssen. This yacht is now listed for sale

In September 2018 the yacht Kismet was listed for sale at Moran Yachts. Around that same time, Moran revealed a new 116 meter project at Lurssen yachts named Testarossa. We think this is the new Kismet (based on the timing and the color scheme of the new project.
