While the rest of the automotive community is making reveal after reveal at one of the world’s most important auto shows in the bitter cold winds of Chicago, Mercedes-Benz is catching some sun in Miami today at the Miami International Boat Show. Kinda odd for an automaker to place more emphasis on a boat show than a car show, but sure, you do your thing, Mercedes. We got you.

At the boat show, the German luxury carmaker is showing off the new 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S sports car alongside the just-debuted Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S Concept boat. According to Mercedes, the 50 Marauder GT S Concept is the most powerful production twin engine performance boat to ever sail, and it takes cues directly from the GT S performance beast from Mercedes-AMG. The boat has AMG Solarbeam Yellow on the exterior along with custom matte black accents.

The GT S car is also noteworthy, boasting a front mid-engine design and is powered by an AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine, good for 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It’s got a zero-to-60 time of just 3.7 seconds. The 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S will launch this April.

“With its technological substance the Mercedes-AMG GT S meets our high demands on driving dynamics, agility and performance,” remarked Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG. “The GT S is built according to the motto ‘Handcrafted by Racers.’ We are glad that this spirit and our brand-typical driving performance inspired our long-time partner Cigarette Racing to create this powerboat.”
