Code-X

We recently came across an interesting gadget that purports to be environmentally aware, while simultaneously oozing sex appeal.

Actually, calling the Code-X yacht project a “gadget” is sort of like calling a Tesla a nice little toy. Well…actually, if you’re rich enough to own either, you can probably call them whatever you want.

Anyway, according to the (ever-so-chic, all-black) website for the Swiss company building this sleek Batman-esque cruise-mobile, the Code-X yacht will feature two Formula 1 engines along with two solar-powered ones.

Presumably, the quiet, zero-emissions engines will take you in and out of port, after which you crank the twin fossil-fuel guzzlers for “the pleasure of high speeds on open waters!” (Ok, we confess. We don’t get it. The concept is sort of like creating a cross between a Prius and a Humvee.)

Whatever the case, the company’s website is worth a gander, and if you happen to be in the market for a new yacht to tide you through mid-life crisis, there’s contact information on the site so you can ask for a quote (and an explanation of the concept).
