Speed & Style: Racing Performance Meets Modern Luxury in Monaco

The two drivers from the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team, #nicorosberg and #lewishamilton, met during the run-up to the #monaco Grand Prix on 29 May 2016 for a sensational #event off the racetrack. Hamilton put his driving ability to the test on the water with aCigarette #racing speedboat. Rosberg showed what a relaxed lifestyle cruising off the coast of #monaco looks like on the #mercedesbenz Style luxury motor yacht. The stunning pictures of the spectacle can be viewed at http://mb4.me/speed_and_style.With the motto "Speed & Style" the two demonstrated that the worlds of modern luxury and #racing performance blend perfectly under the Mercedes-Star – both on water and on land: Hamilton showed the world of performance with the „Cigarette #racing 50 Marauder AMG #monaco Concept”, inspired by the current MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS #formula1 car, which he also brought to the #event. Meanwhile, Rosberg demonstrated the world of modern luxury with the S-Class Cabriolet and the #mercedesbenz Style luxury motor yacht "ARROW460 – Granturismo"."The Cigarette #racing speedboat and our #mercedesbenz Style luxury yacht ‘ARROW460-Granturismo’ represent a coming together of two design icons. Each of them is hot & cool as their design is both attractive and surprisingly new, making both boats perfect embodiments of emotion and intelligence," states Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Daimler. He adds: "The ‘ARROW460-Granturismo’ carries our Mercedes genes throughout. We have transferred an automotive design idiom to a yacht – and this design statement far outside the usual mainstream in the boat industry allows us to create a totally original aesthetic."
