Not that this is a bad thing-as I say, it really is a great system with plenty of life left in it. So, without a lot of clever engineering, possibly custom optics, electronics, precision manufacturing and a lot of money and patience, the Contax optics are really only for use on the Contax camera. It’s a camera that will largely appeal to analog photographers looking to benefit. Also remember that the Hasselblad 500-series V and H are leaf shutter systems, so a Contax lens (with no built-in shutter) wouldn't work there, even if it could be coupled.

#Contax 645 medium format slr registration
For adapting to a smaller (ff or apsc) format this would be less problematic as there would be quite a large difference in the registration distances there probably isn't room in the registration differences to support the adapter. The other issue here is the Contax lenses all have electronic controls and the electronics would need to be reverse engineered and the adapter would need to be large enough to support this. the lens registration distance differences likely make the others not viable
