The new AMG-inspired Cigarette Racing boat with six engines and 2,700 horsepower.
Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have teamed up again for another special edition boat. The 59-foot Tiranna AMG Edition, unveiled last week at the 2020 Miami International Boat Show, is the 12th boat to result from the partnership between the two performance brands.
