Exotic and collector car enthusiasts may be surprised to find a 46’ performance boat in the mix as the AMG-Inspired Cigarette joins the 9th Annual Concours D’elegance in Winter Park, Florida, November 6-7 from 10 AM – 4 PM.

Over 200 exotic and rare cars and motorcycles will be on display along the town’s Central Park and its scenic Park Avenue so it seemed appropriate to bring the new Cigarette that earned the Mercedes AMG partnership. The 46’ “Rider” boat model, boasting the newest Mercury Racing 1350 HP engines, was debuted alongside the new AMG SLS at the Miami International Boat Show this year as a “Legendary Creation.” The quality and performance ideals shared by the car and boat manufacturers brought them together for the collaborative effort which continues as a solid marketing relationship. The Cigarette boat is done in the AMG alubeam, highly metallic “Designo” silver and white paint scheme and its cockpit was also modeled after the AMG porcelain black and white upholstery. The duo made quite a striking profile at the Miami show and the 46’ Cigarette Racing Team presence at its first Concours will no doubt receive considerable attention.

“I have always been a Mercedes AMG enthusiast,” says Skip Braver, Cigarette President and CEO, whose prior business experience included exotic cars, “This is an unprecedented pairing of power brands forged in mutual respect.”

The festivities at the Concours include a police-escorted tour of the participating vehicles on Saturday morning and an awards presentation from 3-5 PM at its conclusion on Sunday.
