    Mercedes and Cigarette Racing have released the first teaser image of the upcoming SD GT3.

    Set to debut at the Miami International Boat Show on February 11th, the one-off model draws inspiration from the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car. The companies are keeping details under wraps but the 41 foot long boat will apparently feature a silver exterior with contrasting yellow accents. The teaser image also suggests we can expect a relatively small cockpit which is covered by a short roof.

    While little is known about the boat, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 was unveiled last year and it features an aggressive carbon fiber body kit that includes modified bumpers, ventilated front fenders, and revised side skirts. The race car has also been equipped with a ventilated hood, carbon fiber flics, a rear diffuser, and a massive rear wing.

    Since the model was designed to meet FIA GT3 specifications, it has a purpose-built interior with a carbon fiber racing seat and a steel roll cage. Drivers will also find a digital instrument cluster, revised switchgear, and a steering wheel designed specifically for racing.

    Power is provided by a 6.3-liter V8 engine which is connected to a six-speed sequential racing transmission.

    Brunswick : Cigarette Racing partners with Mercedes-AMG and Mercury Marine at Miami International Boat Show

    For the sixth consecutive year, Cigarette Racing and Mercedes-AMG have once again overcome nature on land and sea in an attempt to 'Ignore Gravity'. During the 2016 Miami International Boat Show, Cigarette Racing will feature a 41' SD GT3 powered by dual Mercury Racing engines. The boat is inspired by, and will be displayed with, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car.

    The partnership between Mercury Marine and Cigarette continues to strengthen as does the relationship and partnership between Cigarette and Mercedes-AMG. The boat and car will be on display at Cigarette Racing on Pier 2, Slip 228 during the entire Miami boat show, February 11 through February 15, 2016.

    'The 41' SD GT3 with dual Mercury Marine racing engines is going to be a show stopper this year in Miami,' said Skip Braver, CEO, Cigarette Racing Team. 'Our partnership with Mercury Marine and Mercedes-AMG continues to grow and this boat is going to draw a lot of attention in Miami and beyond.'
