In lieu of the Gullwing&#8217;s lone 6.2-liter V8 engine, which puts out a measly 563 horsepower, the Cigarette boat offers a pair of twin-turbocharged 552-cubic-inch Mercury Racing engines. Each mill cranks out 1,350 horsepower. Yep, that&#8217;s 2,700 total horsies. Giddyup.<\/p>\n<p>The new Cigarette 46-foot Rider features hand-applied AMG ALUBEAM silver paint, as seen on the SLS AMG supercar. According to the automaker, its specially developed painting technique &#8220;covers body surfaces like a metallic skin, targeting light reflections to further emphasize exterior character lines and design details.&#8221; We&#8217;ll take their word for it.<\/p>\n<p>Step inside the boat and you&#8217;ll be greeted with marine-grade upholstery that&#8217;s designed to resemble the two-tone porcelain and white Nappa leather offered on the SLS AMG. So far, there&#8217;s no word on how much this custom Cigarette will go for, but something with a six-pack of zeros is virtually a lock.
