Deux mastodontes spécialisées respectivement des les bolides sur route et sur l’eau, Mercedes AMG et Cigarete Racing s’associent pour donner naissance à « Cigarette Racing Inspired by AMG ». Le bateau possède un moteur boosté du célèbre moteur de Cigarette, le 46′ Rider, inspiré du design de la nouvelle SLS et qui peut monter aisément jusqu’à 200 Km/h. Ce bolide des mers au design à couper le souffle est revêtu à l’extérieur d’une peau métallique couleur argent et l’intérieur de cuir nappa, comme sur la SLS.
SLS AMG Inspires New Cigarette Racing Boat… Two legendary performance brands – Mercedes AMG and Cigarete Racing – unveiled a custom Cigarette Racing boat and the SLS AMG. While each brand’s playground is as different as asphalt and water, both AMG and Cigarette use their racing expertise to develop high performance machines for passionate enthusiasts. Available this May, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was developed exclusively by Mercedes-AMG, the high performance and motorsports division of Mercedes-Benz. Featuring a lightweight aluminum spaceframe chassis, hand built 563-hp AMG V8 engine and signature « Gullwing » doors, the SLS AMG is sure to quicken the pulse of high-performance enthusiasts. Founded upon mutual respect and product admiration, Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have developed a long-standing professional relationship, allowing Mercedes-AMG to provide manufacturing expertise and materials to enhance one of Cigarette Racing’s top models, the 46′ Rider. The new Cigarette 46′ Rider features hand-applied AMG ALUBEAM silver paintwork also available on the SLS AMG. This process, used exclusively by AMG, covers body surfaces like a metallic skin, targeting light reflections to further emphasize exterior character lines and design details. Showcasing the state of the art nanotechnology, this unique finish imbeds tiny pigments of color measuring just 30 to 50 nanometres. The ALUBEAM silver is contrasted with AMG Designo Mystic White metallic in a bold design echoing the Mercedes-AMG logo. Inside, the boat features marine-grade upholstery that resembles the two-tone AMG Designo porcelain and white Nappa leather offered on the SLS AMG. While many of the influences of the SLS AMG can be seen in the exterior paint work and interior, the true benefits of the inspiration can be found below the surface. With more than 100 innovations on display, the all new 46′ Rider serves as a technology showcase for Cigarette. From the propulsion system to the rigging, a clean sheet approach was utilized to build the all new 46′ Cigarette. Powered by a pair of revolutionary twin-turbocharged 552 ci, 1350 HP Mercury Racing engines, the 46′ Cigarette is estimated to have a top speed in excess of 130 MPH.
