Yes, they've done it again, American boat builder Cigarette Racing and Mercedes-AMG. Together for the 12th anniversary of their cooperation, they bring an extremely sporty duet to the two elements earth and water. What is meant is an American speedboat and the four-door Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S.
Both sports canons were optically adapted to each other. Both were refined using a lot of carbon and optical gimmicks. With the AMG with a special foil, with the Cigarette carbon fiber should help to optimize the center of gravity of the boat. The speedboat becomes even faster due to the weight reduction.
Boat and car are (almost) the same as one egg in the other
Both are very similar, at least if you keep the two different modes of locomotion in mind. Both teams worked together on the interior of the boat. The graphite gray color and the red AMG accents catch the eye on both.
The is driven Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is known to have a 639 hp 4,0-liter V8 biturbo engine. This accelerates the Gran Turismo Coupé to 3,2 km/h in 100 seconds. The end of the acceleration is reached at the cannonball from Affalterbach at 315 km/h.
AMG speedboat with almost 1.600 hp line
Compared to the GT, the cigarette is a bit sportier. Even if you struggle more with the water displacement, i.e. with the top speed, compared to the GT athlete.
[dropcap size=big]V8[/dropcap]Four 2,6-liter V8 supercharged engines from Mercury are mounted at the rear. 4 x 2,6 makes a total displacement of 10,4 liters. The output per liter is 153 hp for the cigarette. So if we haven't miscalculated, the calculator shows us the incredible horsepower figure of 1.591 horsepower. These speed it up Cigarette Racing speedboat to a speed of 133 km/h.
You can experience the two super sporty parts live at the Miami International Boat Show, which is currently taking place at the Miami Marine Stadium in Florida. We think the cooperation was worth it. Their latest creation shows that both companies know how to build super-fast V8 vehicles.
Are you also thinking about whether you should buy a more powerful towing vehicle or a trailer hitch for your new racing cigar?
