46 Rider burns up Biscayne Bay

The Cigarette Racing Team and Mercedes AMG-inspired 46 Rider made a noted debut at the Miami International Boat Show alongside the new Mercedes AMG SLS. But let’s face it, however impressive a boat can be on land, nothing compares with seeing it in action. And many did, as Cigarette put its recent creation through the paces in Biscayne Bay. “These 1,350-hp engines just purr like a big exotic cat,” says Skip Braver, Cigarette president and CEO, who calls this “the smoothest and fastest Cigarette ever.” The 1,350s are the newest Mercury racing technology. While the boat is not yet available on the market, Braver says the interest has been high and he looks forward to starting production on this and perhaps other AMG inspired Cigarettes. The 46 Rider will be at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
