Mercedes Creates Cigarette Boat Inspired By G63 AMG

blank

 

The Mercedes-Benz car company has come out with another AMG-themed boat to keep you cruising in style while on the water. This wouldn’t be the first boat released by the company, Mercedes built a SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012.

Now they’ve introduced a 42-foot Huntress that’s modeled after the G63 AMG that will be shown at this year’s Miami Boat Show. Mercedes’s latest Cigarette boats looks less like a race boat and more like a cruiser, which makes sense considering it was inspired by a SUV. Packed into the boat are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each packed with a supercharged inline six-cylinder  producing 350 horsepower. That’s 1,650 total horsepower that will propel you to a top speed of 78 miles per hour.

Check out the full press release below:

“Commanding Status: Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Inspires the Cigarette 42′ Huntress

February 05, 2013 – MONTVALE, NJ

On Thursday, February 14 at the Miami International Boat Show, the world will be introduced to the third collaboration between the Cigarette Racing Team and Mercedes-AMG in the form of the 42 Huntress Inspired by the G 63 AMG. (Booth B-23 at the Miami Beach Convention Center)

Uninhibited performance is a phrase often claimed, but in reality rarely achieved. However in the case of two leaders in their respective domains: Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing Team have reached new heights with the 42′ Huntress inspired by the G63 AMG. The Cigarette 42′ Huntress is designed with the same stringent construction that defines their renowned offshore performance boats – extremely durable superstructure, awe inspiring performance, and race-rigging – upon which its roots were built. The center console nature and overall capacity of the huntress allows this baked-in Cigarette performance to be expressed on glassy seas or in rough water environments that would make other performance boats cringe. All whilst providing space for enjoyment of a sizeable group of friends or family.

The AMG G-Class, often referred to as the G-Wagen (short for Geländewagen – “cross-country vehicle”), remains true to its heritage as being a vehicle that can be used primarily in tough off-road terrain: three electrically controlled 100-percent differential locks, ladder frame and rigid axle are characteristics that positions it in a class of its own. The injection of a V8 biturbo, hand built AMG engine with 536 hp and massive 560 ft-lbs of torque places the G-Wagen into a performer in all environments and with a bespoke interior, a true iconic luxury off-roader
