IT'S set to become the ultimate toy for billionaires.
But this dazzling new yacht is so strange it will not only turn heads, but leave many scratching them as well.
The yacht is part of a new fleet of vessels designed by London architect Zaha Hadid for German shipbuilder Bloom + Voss.
The largest of the fleet, the 128-metre long 'mothership' yacht has a curvy mesh 'exoskeleton' of support beams that give the vessel the resemblance of Beijing's 'Bird's Nest' Olympic stadium.
There's also a smaller 90m version called the Jazz.
