Parking Lot-Equipped Yachts

The Mclaren Ultraluxum Cxl 160 Stores Cars

— August 8, 2012 — Luxury
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.

1. Seafaring Luxury - There is an opportunity for yacht builders and architects to think outside the box and merge the best of various worlds to create revolutionary new luxury yachts.
2. Vehicle-boat Integration - As seen in the Ultraluxum CXL 160 yacht, there is potential for innovation in integrating vehicles with boats to create unique experiences and better functionality.
3. Eco-friendly Boats - As Ultraluxum shows, there is a trend towards designing boats that incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly features, which provides opportunities for boat builders and designers to create unique offerings.
