The brand new Cigarette Racing 52 Thunder Center Console packs a 3,000 supercharged horsepower gut-punch, courtesy of six brand new Mercury Racing 500R V10 outboards hanging off the back. Flat out Cigarette says it’s good for over 80 knots, or 92mph.

When the Florida heat gets a little toasty, there’s a roomy cabin below decks with a full-size bed, enclosed toilet with shower, a custom sofa and hull side windows that go opaque at the touch of a button. All that eye-blindingly-white leather is sourced from fancy Italian supplier Poltrona Frau.


Of course you can specify pretty much any color scheme you want, but we’re quite partial to the show boat’s head-spinning red, white and black co*bo. Subtle? Not so much.
