Mercedes & Cigarette Racing debut their AMG GT S inspired speed boat

Cigarette Racing and Mercedes-AMG present the latest model of their long-standing cooperation at this year's Miami International Boat Show: the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S Concept - the maritime incarnation of the new Mercedes-AMG GT S sports car, which is also on display in Miami. The high-performance boat with the most powerful production twin engine within the Cigarette portfolio is inspired by the hallmark design and the motorsport technology of the Mercedes-AMG GT S.

The Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S Concept is powered by two Mercury racing engines. The engine bay is painted a stunning AMG Solarbeam colour. Intelligent lightweight construction resulted in weight savings of about 450kg over the standard homologation weight.

The power boat is 50 feet long (about 15 metres), eight feet wide (about 2.40 metres), and reaches a top speed of more than 217km/h. Painted in the exclusive AMG Solarbeam colour and sporting matte black highlights, the concept boat makes unmistakable references to the dynamic character of the sports car from Affalterbach. The hand finished interior is dominated by a black and AMG Solarbeam colour combination with black Alcantara highlights.

With the market launch of the Mercedes-AMG GT S in March 2015, the high-performance brand of Mercedes-Benz will compete in the top calibre sports car segment for the first time. The front-mid-engine concept and the intelligent aluminium lightweight construction provide the basis for a highly dynamic driving experience. The newly developed AMG twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine  produces 510bhp of power and a peak torque of 650Nm. This power pack makes impressive performance possible: the Mercedes-AMG GT S sprints from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds.

The price for this unique Cigarette Racing boat is USD 1.2 million. (S$1.62 million)
