Mercury Racing's new 450R on show in Sydney

by Jonathan Revitt 26 Jul 2019 03:12 PDT 1-5 August 2019

It's just been confirmed - Mercury Racing's new 450R outboard is going to be on display for the first time in Australia at the Sydney International Boat Show (SIBS) from 1-5 August.

A supercharged 4.6-litre V8 thrill machine, the new 450R sparked worldwide attention when it was unveiled in the U.S. recently and it's sure to be the centre of attention at SIBS

Steeped in Mercury Racing DNA, the 450R's 4.6-litre V8 FourStroke powerhead is boosted by an exclusive Mercury Racing supercharger to produce 450 peak-propshaft horsepower with 40 percent more torque than its predecessor, the powerful 400R.

An amazing 136 kilos lighter than its nearest competitor, the new 450R delivers an industry leading power-to-weight ratio in a compact, efficient package that combines extraordinary acceleration and top speed potential with rugged reliability and the latest technology.

Come to the Mercury Marine stand at the Sydney International Boat Show (International Convention Centre) and check out the 450R - an engine purpose designed for people who crave high-performance and unrelenting power.

Mercury Racing's new 450R is a dedicated race product and will have limited availability locally from 2020 via Mercury Racing dealers only.
