Special edition from Mercedes-AMG & Cigarette Racing!

Today Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing presented the new special edition of the Cigarette 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Black Series Powerboats alongside the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. The top model of the AMG GT family served as the inspiration for what is now the 13th boat that was jointly developed in the long-term partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The Cigarette 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Black Series has a lot in common with the super sports car from Affalterbach: It impresses with extremely spontaneous and direct power delivery, combined with iconic design, luxurious equipment and an exclusivity that no other powerboat in the segment offers.

The 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Black Series Edition is based on the advanced technology of Cigarette and uses the most modern construction elements such as the twin-step hull design to convert its high performance on the water into impressive propulsion in a stable position. The ship deck and hardtop are made entirely of carbon fiber. This allows for a lower center of gravity which improves handling and a low overall weight which helps to increase speed. The intelligent use of composite materials and in-house construction techniques increase the stiffness of the fuselage structure while keeping the weight low. The structure forms the basis for high driving comfort and balanced driving characteristics even under the most demanding conditions.

The striking design of the 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Edition is the result of the close collaboration between the Cigarette Racing Team, the Mercedes-AMG design team and Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of the Daimler Group. Mercedes-AMG stands for Performance Luxury on the road, and the Cigarette 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Black Series offers outstanding performance and an unforgettable driving experience on the water. In addition, there is ultimate quality, meticulous workmanship and craftsmanship down to the smallest detail.

High performance on the water

Like the AMG GT Black Series, the special cigarette model also sets new standards in terms of performance in the segment. For the first time, it is equipped with five outboard motors in racing quality. The Mercury Racing 450R 4,6-liter V8 engines deliver 450 hp each and are controlled via a shadowing throttle valve system: all five engines can be accelerated or decelerated simultaneously with just two levers.

The combined power of 2.250 horsepower enables a top speed of more than 90 mph (approx. 144 km / h). For a boat in this segment that can comfortably accommodate more than ten people and has exceptional luxury equipment, this is an outstanding value.

Eye-catching design and attention to detail

The eye-catching color scheme in Magmabeam-Orange and Black of the special model is based on the paint design of the AMG GT Black Series, which Magmabeam has introduced as an exclusive new color and also offers orange-colored elements as an option in the interior. The effect of orange and black is further enhanced by small AMG logos that are attached to the bow in a repeating pattern. Each of these logos is individually hand-painted - there are no stickers. The central trim strips of the engine fairings are also painted in Magmabeam Orange and bring together the unmistakable aesthetics from bow to stern.

The layout of the Cigarette 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Black Series is characterized by the central console with a steering position and a cabin in the middle of the boat, which can be bypassed on both sides, and an open bow with seats. The highly developed "Twin-Step" design is integrated into the modern hull construction, which combines high rigidity with low weight.

The attention to detail continues seamlessly in the interior. The interior is mainly gray and black and has distinctive orange details that reflect the color scheme of the exterior. The boat is also equipped with the unique Cigarette Cool padding, which dissipates heat so that the seat covers remain pleasantly cool even in dark colors and in constant sunlight.

The front steering position consists of two rows (three seats per row), with the front row being height-adjustable so that the captain can set a perfectly fitting seat height. This steering seat arrangement is ideal for sporty driving because six people sit facing forward behind the central steering position. There is also an L-shaped lounge at the stern of the boat and U-shaped seating at the bow. This design combines sportiness and maneuverability with a high level of luxury and generous space, so that comfortable cruising and relaxing with friends is also possible.

The control station has three Garmin 8617 multifunction displays that are flush-mounted in the instrument panel. This is CNC-milled from a solid block of aluminum and is coated with a special material that offers protection against heat, reflections and fingerprints. The edge of the dashboard is illuminated by an RGB LED accent light, giving the impression of a floating dashboard. Passengers can hold on to the stainless steel handles and relax very comfortably thanks to the ergonomic, CNC-milled footrest.

The 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Edition also impresses with the progressive design of the user interfaces. All functions of the boat are controlled via an integrated digital switching system. It requires fewer cables and thus reduces the overall weight of the boat, which enables higher performance. A lithium-ion battery system further reduces weight and scores with a high power density, longer service life and lower maintenance requirements.

The 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Edition also has comfort options such as a powerful marine audio system, an innovative lighting system and a bow thruster. Additional Garmin multifunction displays are located in the rear seats and on the bow, so that guests have easy access to the digital circuit to control the lighting, stereo system, chart plotter and other convenience functions.

Top performance on land: the AMG GT Black Series

As the inspiration for the new Cigarette 41 ′ Nighthawk AMG Black Series, the AMG GT Black Series is making waves on land. The top model of the AMG GT family has the most powerful AMG V8 series engine of all time, combined with sophisticated aerodynamics, an intelligent mix of materials and a multi-adjustable racing chassis for optimum dynamics and vehicle balance. The expressive design is derived directly from the current AMG GT3 racing car.

The heart of the AMG GT Black Series is the handcrafted AMG V8 engine with flat-plane crankshaft, which develops 6.700 kW (6.900 hp) between 537 and 730 rpm and generates a maximum torque of 800 Nm from 2.000-6.000 rpm Provides. This new engine gives the AMG GT Black Series its unique character and enables remarkable driving performance. It accelerates from 3,2 to 0 km / h in 100 seconds and reaches 200 km / h in under nine seconds. The top speed is 325 km / h.

Cooperation between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing

Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing started their cooperation in 2007, mainly to organize joint customer and marketing activities. Whether on water or on land, Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing are united by the focus on ultimate performance. The special models from this unique partnership are united by the same interpretation of “Performance Luxury” - the brand positioning that was defined for Mercedes-AMG - and so technology and optics complement each other perfectly.
