Cigarette AMG Electric Drive
Happy New Year Everbody,
I have a question: Does anybody know what happend to the Cigarette AMG electric Drive from 2013? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...0d432fb749.jpg Markus |
It was at the Mercedes Stutgart museum - can't say for now as I haven't been in a few.
|
Ah good to know, maybe a reason to visit the museum. Thank you. I wonder if the boat have ever been in the water.

I saved this pic from a Dusseldorf Boat Show article a few years back. Cant seem to find it again, now.
Doesn't look like it was actually rigged with the TDIs but they did for sure remove the electric stuff. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...9bd16a86c3.png |
Thank you, I thought maybe it is still existing somewhere with the electric parts. I guess it was only a study which was just for showing an not for driving. Actually the numbers with power, torque and battery capacity sound good in 2013. Even today!

Just a thought, Restauration of my 1988 twin 502 with two electric motors. Any comments? |
YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM OSO MAKING STATEMENTS LIKE THAT! Cool project.

Hi there,
I still have my 38 foot boat with two GM 502 here in Germany. After starting rebuilding the boat last year I found out that the V8’s need to be overhauled as well. For some years I was building and developing electric motor bikes so I was thinking to convert my boat to electric. The thought is to build two electric motors in a waterproof housing and connect the motor direct with a shaft to the surface propeller. The “drives” would then be connected to the stern like Arneson Surface drives. In the drawing there would be a 500R outboard just as size comparison. The boat should have in the end just two electric drives and no more fuel engines. Here where some simulated numbers what one drive could achieve: Propshaft 4000 rpm Propshaft Torque 1000 Nm or 737 ft lbf Power: 569 hp Weight one drive app. 100 kg or 220 lb More over the 800V Li/ion Battery should have a capacity of 300 kWh and it would weight about 1500 kg or 3300 lb. Just to be clear I grow up with V8s and still be a fan, but after I looked up the prices for two new Mercruisers with drives and app. 550 hp I thought if doing something new. What do you think?
