CODE – X solar hybrid power yacht


For the man who has everything, a swiss company called Code-X have developed a boat for maximum exclusivity that uses renewable energy combined with two Formula One spec motors. It's not your average speed boat that requires a low loader semi trailer to be transported on land, while any boat the comes standard with 2 x 710 hp Ilmore V10s is very impressive. Code-X combines those with 2 x electric motors and a deck lined with solar panels.
