    Mercedes-AMG Releases 510hp “Black Series” 50′ Marauder Cigarette Boat

    Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing took their alliance to a new level with the debut of the “Black Series” 50′ Marauder Cigarette boat, inspired by the C63 AMG Black Series.

    While each brand’s products always exemplify the ultimate in performance and luxury, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series and Marauder represent the next level in excellence.

    Arriving in U.S. dealerships this April, the C63 AMG Black Series is the most powerful C-Class of all time, boasting a maximum output of 510 hp and a maximum torque of 457 lb-ft. The high-revving AMG 6.3-liter V8 delivers a 0-60 sprint in just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

    Introduced at the 2012 Miami Boat Show, the Marauder’s striking black and white design scheme is carried throughout the entire boat, from the Mercedes color-matched paint to the all-newly designed interior, upholstered with luxurious Alcantara.

    Billet aluminum pieces are integrated throughout, customized for the AMG Black Series boat, incorporating a new formula of anodizing and corrosion resistance. Billet is featured on the dash, grab handles, seat supports, sound system and in numerous trim accents.

    Powered by two Mercury Racing 1350 (2700 total hp.) engines, the boat’s speed is matched only by its smooth efficiency, running on pump fuel, without headers, with a warranty, combining for an exciting day on the water for the most discerning performance boat aficionado.

    Founded upon mutual respect and product admiration, Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have developed a long-standing professional relationship. In 2010, Cigarette Racing revealed the “Inspired by AMG” 46′ Rider, inspired by the SLS AMG.

    The Cigarette 46′ Rider featured 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.
