McLaren's Ultraluxum 'CXL 160' yacht merges the best of the automotive and at-sea worlds. Jean-Fancois Ruchonnet, One of Ultraluxum's founders, expressed his desire to merge sailing with architecture, design, and comfort, and his company has charted upon this very path here.
The Ultraluxum CXL 160 will feature a parking garage in its underbelly. It has been deliberately made to shelter the McLaren MP4-12C, an opulent sports car. Its impressive storage facilities necessitate its massive shape, coming in at 48 meters in length and 60 meters in height.
Ultraluxum maintains its interest in and commitment to the environment despite CXL 160's massive measurements. The company points out that it is a wind-powered vessel and that it will be further propelled by a battery operated system.
