NEW RACER

Written by Boating New Zealand

Mercury Racing’s new 450R outboard is a supercharged 4.6-litre V8 which provides unmatched power density and the latest in engine technology.

The 450R’s 4.6-litre V8 FourStroke powerhead is boosted by a Mercury Racing supercharger to produce 450 peak-propshaft horsepower with 40% more torque than its 400R predecessor and no throttle lag.

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.

Mercury Racing offers multiple gearcase, control system, tie-bar, and styling options. The new engine runs on premium unleaded 95 RON fuel.
