The Monaco Grand Prix is just a day away on 29 May 2016 but the two drivers from the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, met for a sensational event off the racetrack. Hamilton put his driving ability to the test on the water with a Cigarette Racing speedboat. Rosberg showed what a relaxed lifestyle cruising off the coast of Monaco looks like on the Mercedes-Benz Style luxury motor yacht.
With the motto "Speed & Style" the two Formula One drivers demonstrated that the worlds of modern luxury and racing performance blend perfectly under the Mercedes-Star – both on water and on land. Hamilton showed the world of performance with the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder AMG Monaco Concept. This yacht is inspired by the team’s current F1 car, which he incidentally also brought to the event.
Rosberg demonstrated the world of modern luxury with the S-Class Cabriolet and the Mercedes-Benz Style luxury motor yacht "Arrow460 – Granturismo".
"The Cigarette Racing speedboat and our Mercedes-Benz Style luxury yacht ‘Arrow460-Granturismo’ represent a coming together of two design icons. Each of them is hot and cool as their design is both attractive and surprisingly new, making both boats perfect embodiments of emotion and intelligence," states Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Daimler.
He adds, "The ‘Arrow460-Granturismo’ carries our Mercedes genes throughout. We have transferred an automotive design idiom to a yacht – and this design statement far outside the usual mainstream in the boat industry allows us to create a totally original aesthetic."
The high-performance boat “Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder AMG Monaco Concept” is equipped with the most powerful series-production twin engines in the Cigarette portfolio. Two Mercury Racing V8 racing engines each with 1550 hp take the 50 foot-long (approx. 15 metres) and eight foot-wide (approx. 2.40 metres) powerboat to an estimated top speed of more than 228 km/h.The price of this unique boat is approx. 1.6 million US dollars (when purchased FOB Monaco).
Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have been working in partnership since 2007. Both share racing roots and the uncompromising passion for performance plus the aim to always deliver optimum achievements.
Designed by Mercedes-Benz Style and developed together with Silver Arrow Marine, the luxury "Arrow460–Granturismo" motor yacht celebrated its world premiere in April 2016. With this model, Mercedes-Benz is developing a completely new boat concept. The 14-metre-long 960 hp "Silver Arrow of the Seas" combines the performance of the famous Mercedes-Benz sports cars with unique innovations from the boat industry. The yacht offers room for up to ten people and is available in the fully equipped Edition 1 at a price of 2.5 million euros.
