Hit the Water in the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Cigarette Boat for $1,151,640
Back in February we told you about plans for a Cigarette powerboat designed in homage to the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Now the killer craft is in the water, and you can pick one up at JamesList for a cool €900,000 via Maranello Marine GmbH in Cologne, Germany. The Cigarette 46’ Rider XP is the only powerboat available with the all-new Mercury Racing 1350 hp 9-litre V8 Twin Turbo engines – altogether almost five times as much power as the SLS AMG that inspired it. Thanks to lightweight composite construction, the hydro rocket kicks it at 95.59 knots with a maximum speed of 117 knots, or 130 mph for you landlubbers.
With the same hand-applied AMG Alubeam silver paint as the SLS AMG that “covers body surfaces like a metallic skin, targeting light reflections to further emphasize exterior character lines and design details” thanks to something called nanopigments, it’s a dazzling sight on the water – if it slows down enough for you to get a glimpse. The inside features marine-grade upholstery designed to resemble the two tone porcelain and white Nappa leather in the SLS AMG. Buy one of each, but just remember which one goes in the water.
