The new Glider SS18 "looks like something that would transport a James Bond villain to a secret lair," says Chris Kitching at the Daily Mail, but it just might "revolutionize sea travel for Champagne-swigging tycoons." The futuristic catamaran, made by London-based Glider Yachts, stands 10 feet above the water on twin 60-foot hulls, and its four 270-hp engines push the vessel to speeds exceeding 56 knots (65 mph). A Hyper Sports edition will be able to touch 96 knots, and thanks to a stability control system that helps the Glider skate atop the chop, you can quaff your Dom Perignon even at highway speeds while sharing the Corbeau leather seats with four other passengers. This bad boy could be yours for the cool price of $1.3 million — learn more here.
