Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing are 11 years of collaboration with an innovative boat that packs an insane 3,100 hp.

The Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE boasts of a top speed of 225 km/h and can seat a total of six passengers. The body is built out of materials such as carbon-fiber, Kevlar and E-glass. The boat's deck is constructed using carbon fibre that keeps the total weight low and also lowers the centre mass of the boat.

“By directly translating Formula 1 technology from the track to the street, the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is our most ambitious and awe-inspiring vehicle yet. It is incredible to see our vision reimagined for the water in such an impressive and highly compelling form,” Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, said.

The Cigarette Racing Team 515 Project ONE is powered by a pair of Mercury Racing 1,350/1,550 QC4v (Quad Cam 4 Valve) engines and M8 stern drives, delivering up to 3,100 hp. These sophisticated powerplants are dual calibration engines, which enable the operator to switch engine power levels through an electronic key fob.

The Race Key fob unlocks up to 1,550 hp, requiring race fuel. The Pleasure key fob is used for operating at 1,350 hp with 91 octane fuel. A staggered engine configuration lowers the center of gravity by allowing the motors to be placed closer to one another, deeper in the vee of the boat, which improves dynamics and stability.

The Cigarette Racing 515 Project ONE is inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE, a two-seater hyper car that promises to bring the latest Formula 1 hybrid technology from the race track to the road. This mid-engined (ahead of the rear axle) high-performance hybrid will have over 1,000 hp, offer a top speed beyond 350 km/h and reach 11,000 rpm, which is currently unique for any roadgoing vehicle
