Cigarette Launches the New 49' Grand Sport Diesel

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cigarette Racing Team's Revolutionary all new 49' Grand Sport Diesel

Miami, FL. - Want something ground-breaking and new? Cigarette Racing Team has it and is proud to introduce the all new 49' Grand Sport Diesel!

The 49' Grand Sport was originally introduced at last year's Ft. Lauderdale boat show with Mercury Racing 700 SCi engines with NXT1 drives. This year Cigarette Racing Team is proud to announce the all new 49'Grand Sport Diesel, which exceeds the next level of performance, class, and luxury. This revolutionary Cigarette is powered by Cummins 600 horse power diesel engines, combined with high performance stern drives that are protected with Mercury's Enhanced Corrosion Protection (ECP) that provides longevity in the salt water.

After an eighteen month project, Cigarette Racing Team, Mercury Racing, and Cummins MerCruiser have successfully developed the new 49' Grand Sport Diesel which is the first Cigarette stern drive boat developed that can withstand the salt water. Ground breaking is what it is!

The diesel engines are not only fuel economical, but also offer a long engine life and low maintenance. The high tech two speed transmission projects both acceleration and speed, leading to an all around superior level of performance on the water.

This robust vessel features several luxurious amenities. The ultra leather upholstery and honeycomb cabinetry in the cockpit and cabin exhibits modern and luxurious European styling. Ample cockpit space and a cabin with 6' of headroom are just a few features to mention. The cabin is equipped with a fully enclosed head with vac-u-flush toilet, hot water, sink and shower. There is a bow thruster for easy maneuverability around the docks, a cabin door that has integrated steps to provide easy access to the deck of the cruiser, integrated swim platform, and a windlass for easy anchoring. The full wrap-around acrylic windshield is designed for durability when reaching cruising speeds. Some other notable features on the all new 49' Grand Sport are a built in underwater exhaust system designed for passenger comfort, and a state-of-the-art navigation system that is duplicated on the passenger side with full instrumentation.

Want to see it for yourself? Then be sure to stop by! You don't want to miss this one!

Anyone know what the drives are and why so cryptic in the release as to not call them out by name/model?

This thing is a monster! 82MPH with 850's, #6's, 17,500 LBS. Wonder what they are projecting with this set-up.

The 43 Eliminator/Larry Smith with the same powerplant is also making its debut at the Lauderdale show. Is this going to be the year of the high-perf diesel?
