The latest in a highly exclusive line of special edition boats, the 59′ Tirranna AMG Edition sets new standards in terms of performance and design, striking the perfect balance between a luxury yacht and a performance-oriented super console. Despite its 59′ length and 14′ beam, the Tirranna AMG Edition is extremely agile and optimized for high performance.

The 59′ Tirranna AMG Edition features six supercharged 4.6-liter V8 Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines, each producing 450 peak prop shaft horsepower. Together, these engines generate 2,700 horsepower, enabling a top speed of 80 mph. These are remarkable performance figures for a boat of this scale, with a capacity for 26 people, combining the ease-of-use of a center console with the style, spaciousness and performance of a luxury sport boat.

The 59′ Tirranna also impresses with its advanced control-interface design, utilizing a digital switching system, enabling control of various systems from locations throughout the boat and via iPad. The digital system can control everything from lighting at the helm and cabin air conditioners to monitoring of the bilge pumps. There is also an RGB accent lighting system that runs along the gunnels of the boat that can be controlled via an app on the chart plotters. A variety of lighting scenes can be set at the touch of a button. The digital system also decreases the amount of cabling needed in the boat, thus reducing overall weight.

The Mercedes-AMG G 63 offers off and on-road capability. The basis for the hallmark AMG Driving Performance both on and off roads is provided by the 577 hp 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine in combination with the rear-biased all-wheel drive (40:60) featuring three differential locks. The AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension is a fully automatic, electronically controlled system that adjusts the damping at each wheel to the current requirements – ensuring ideal driving characteristics in a variety of conditions.

The interior of the G-Class – for the first time in line with the interior of the boat – features macchiato beige and dark blue two-tone exclusive Nappa leather upholstery, as well as an AMG performance steering wheel in carbon fiber with dark blue Nappa leather, also based on the interior of the boat. The unique floor mats and the iconic G-Class grab handle both feature distinctive Cigarette lettering.

“Mercedes-AMG stands for Performance Luxury. The Tirranna AMG Edition is the perfect transfer of this principle to a boat: It’s dynamic and at the same time deeply sensual proportions embody athletic beauty. In its powerful, clean look, the boldness of the Mercedes-AMG G 63 can be experienced,” said Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Daimler AG.

The one-of-a-kind Mercedes-AMG G 63 Cigarette Edition, making its debut at the Miami International Boat Show, offers additional exclusivity through an outstanding handcrafted individualization executed at the AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach. It embodies a unique celebration of the ongoing collaboration between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing Team by sharing exclusive design finishes and special detailing, which can only be found on this specific model.
“Since 2007, we’ve shared our passion for performance with the Cigarette Racing Team. For the first time ever we followed a holistic design approach for both – the car and the boat,” said Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. “The Mercedes-AMG G 63 Cigarette Edition is even more individualized than any other car before within our successful cooperation. The exterior and interior of this one of a kind G-Class Edition was tailor-made in our Performance Studio in Affalterbach underlining the high-performance appearance of the Mercedes-AMG G 63.”
