Mercury Racing Launches New V8 500R Outboard

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Mercury Racing showed off its brand-new V8 500R model during a June press event in Charleston. This supercharged 500-hp V8 outboard was created for the fastest luxury sport boats.

“Capable of delivering more than 500 hp in a wide range of conditions, and weighing as little as 720 pounds, the 500R establishes a new benchmark for outboard power density,” says Stuart Halley, Mercury Racing general manager. “This motor offers incredible mid-range punch and pulls with unrelenting authority all the way to wide-open throttle. This is the most exciting production outboard to ever emerge from the Mercury Racing shop.”
