U.S. boat builder Cigarette Racing has released some new images and details of its new 46 foot Rider speedboat, inspired by Mercedes-Benz's SLS AMG Gullwing supercar.
Though the SLS influence is debatable, the numbers certainly aren't. Fitted with two 552-cubic inch (that's a little over 9.0-liters) twin-turbo Mercury Racing engines that are good for 1350 hp (1007 kw) each, the Rider has more than five times the power of its road-going inspiration and a top speed of over 130 mph (209 km/h).
It also comes with two-tone silver and white paint, AMG decals and marine-grade upholstery which emulates the Nappa leather available on the road-going SLS AMG. At least the pews are suitably SLS-like. The price has yet to be announced, though it is likely to make the cost of its road-going counterpart look like chump change.
