Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series inspired performance boat breaks cover
Mercedes with Cigarette Racing has introduced the all-new Cigarette 41’ Nighthawk AMG Black Series special edition boat. It is inspired by the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series supercar. This is the 13th boat to be jointly developed by Cigarette Racing Team, the Mercedes-AMG design team and Gorden Wagener, chief design officer Daimler Group.
This boat is the first in its model range to have five racing-grade outboard engines. Each of these five 4.6-litre V8 Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines can generate about 450 peak propshaft horsepower and can be controlled with an advanced shadowing throttle system. That is, one has to use only two levers to control all five engines simultaneously. With a combined 2,250 hp output, the boat can touch a top speed of more than 144 kmph.
