Mercedes-Benz and Cigarette Racing team up on HK$14 million superboat

For speed junkies who want their next adrenaline kick, the Cigarette Racing Team 50’ Marauder AMG Boat is – literally – making waves in the boating scene. Mercedes-AMG, the high-performance division of the German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, and custom boat builder Cigarette Racing have collaborated on this lean, mean speeding machine as a nautical counterpart to the Mercedes-AMG GT R car.

The 2017 50’ Marauder AMG was unveiled at this year’s Miami International Boat Show, and the impressive high-performance boat certainly held its own among the custom-made, handcrafted special-edition models produced over the last decade.

Inspired by the racecar’s design, the speedboat is covered in GT R’s Green Hell Magno paint designed by Daimler AG’s chief design officer Gorden Wagener and equipped with striking geometric-patterned interior seat inserts crafted by the AMG Performance Studio.The two brands have collaborated together for 10 years, and they celebrated this occasion along with Mercedes-AMG’s 50th anniversary with a special logo displayed on the bow of the vessel.
