Electric Cigarettes are just better; throw in the speed and performance gurus from Mercedes AMG and now we’re talkin! This morning, the long time partnership between AMG and Cigarette Racing just got more interesting. No longer was Cigarette comfortable having a boat “inspired” by AMG; now they have teamed up to bring the world a vessel powered by AMG (at least in concept).
This concept boat was inspired by the Mercedes all electric SLS AMG. While the electric SLS is propelled by four electric motors, one at each wheel; this AMG Cigarette is propelled by twelve of the AMG motors for a total of 2220hp (1,656kW) and 2,213lb-ft of torque. That is six motors for each out drive! The high voltage batteries have an impressive 240kWh. In total, there are 48 battery modules, each containing 72 lithium-ion cells (that's 3,456 cells). With brands as exciting and influential as AMG and Cigarette bringing performance to electricity, maybe the future of transportation doesn’t look so bad.
