Ducati and Cigarette
Racing Team have unveiled the new Cigarette Racing 42X
Ducati Edition at the Miami International Boat Show;
launching a collaboration between two legends of marine
and motorcycle performance.
The two performance
companies chose to unveil the new model on Cigarette
Racing Team’s home turf in Florida; and the 42X Ducati
Edition delivers everything aficionados have come to
expect from the performance brands. With literally
dozens of championships between the two companies, the
42X Ducati Edition comes from an unmatched performance
heritage.
"We are delighted to
team up with Cigarette Racing Team, the Ducati of the
sea. This new 42X Ducati Edition brings together the two
legends of performance, design and racing heritage. I am
very excited to announce this exciting boat, and feel we
have found an excellent new partner in the team at
Cigarette Racing," said Gabriele Del Torchio, President
and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.
"We are very proud to
announce our partnership with one of the world’s
greatest high performance, design and lifestyle brands:
Ducati. The relationship between Ducati and Cigarette
Racing allows two incredible high performance brands to
showcase our passions together in complimentary ways.
Ducati is the only motorcycle brand that fits the
performance and lifestyle expectations of Cigarette’s
customers," said Skip Braver, CEO of Cigarette Racing
Team.
The 42X Ducati Edition
will feature a massive 2,200 horsepower rating from a
pair of staggered 1,100hp Mercury Racing engines. The
livery of the model is pure Ducati, in white with a
Ducati Red racing stripe. A white interior boasting red
accents features a specially designed stereo from JL
Audio. The 42 foot hull boasts an eight foot beam;
completing this astonishing 120+mph package. The
Cigarette Racing Team’s Ménage of Motorsports
display will feature the 42X Ducati Edition throughout
the five days of the Miami International Boat Show.
The Cigarette Racing
was founded in 1969 by Don Aronow, the notorious
"Godfather of Powerboat Racing" who won numerous World
Championship titles, and raised the profile of the
company through racing and his association with
celebrities, presidents and kings who were customers and
friends. In 2002, the company was bought by Skip Braver,
who focused on building Cigarettes with top-quality,
safety and style. His efforts and a renewed
international dealer network have restored Cigarette to
its original status as the brand leader in luxury and
performance.
