Mercedes-AMG this week reprised its slightly strange tradition of showing off customized land-primarily based automobiles at the Miami International Boat Show, parking a garishly black-and-yellow GT S sport coupe in front of a matching Cigarette speedboat. No, you can not tow the boat with the Benz. Quit asking.In the wake (hah! That’s a boating joke, kid) of final year’s Benz-and-matching-boat duo, and 2013’s nuclear-glow-in-the-dark combo, Mercedes asked Cigarette Racing to generate the most outrageously apt sea-faring pairing to go with the twin-turbo, 503-hp sportster. And this boat ain’t blowing smoke.
The dinghy-half of the duo is the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S Notion, billed as the world’s most effective production twin-engine overall performance boat, and hoo-boy does it earn it: Aft of the 5-seat passenger compartment, the engine room homes twin Mercury Racing V-8 engines kicking out 1550 horses every.And it’s not like these sixteen pistons have to contend with a lot of dead weight: Cigarette says it sliced almost 1000 lbs from the boat’s dry weight, giving the 50-foot torpedo a claimed leading speed of more than 135 mph.
The bodacious boat’s specs make the Mercedes-AMG GT S’s achievements seem like a drop in the bucket: The coupe only has one engine, for Pete’s sake, although it does hurdle to a terminal velocity of 193 mph. It also comes in at a rather reasonable $ 130,000—reasonable, at least, compared to the $ 1.2 million value tag for the one-off Cigarette.
As for towing the 13,200-pound boat? For that you’re gonna need to have a truck.
