What Would James Bond Drive: The solar-powered CODE-X-YACHT

What Would James Bond Drive: The solar-powered CODE-X-YACHT

It's nice to know that if you do manage to amass a fortune large enough to buy your own secret island lair, the yacht you use can be environmentally friendly. The CODE-X-YACHT is not only futuristically designed, but also uses solar energy combined with Formula 1 engines to send it knifing through the international waters of luxury.

Created by Swiss company CODE-X AG, the yacht features solar panels on the top of its hull which transfer energy to two electric engines. Scheduled for commercial release later this year, there's still no word on pricing, but at least now you've got yet another cool dream toy to inspire you to build up your bank account.

It's amazing the lengths we go to to replace sail power (now known as wind power). I would imagine the whole hull could be covered with panels.
