Fastest Mercedes G-Class Ever : German car tuner unveils ‘HOF Sir Class’ to celebrate F1 driver, Sir Lewis Hamilton.

‘HOF Sir Class’ honors Hamilton as he prepares for his final race for Mercedes-AMG Petronas at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Hamilton, one of motorsports most decorated champions, has won six of his seven Formula One titles with Mercedes.

German tuning specialist HOF (formerly Hofele Design) has unveiled the ‘HOF Sir Class’ – its latest take on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to honor Lewis Hamilton as he prepares for his final race for Mercedes-AMG Petronas at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Finished in exclusive custom 1063 fading paint inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 livery, the HOF Sir Class honors one of motorsports most decorated champions, who has won six of his seven Formula One titles with Mercedes.

“Its design pays homage to Hamilton’s iconic career, incorporating elements that echo the cutting-edge innovation of F1: carbon-fibre components inspired by Formula One technology, ceramic-coated tailpipes, and an exclusive F1-style paint finish,” said Etienne Salome, the Lead designer at HOF.

Based on the Mercedes-AMG 63, the HOF Sir Class features 1,063-horsepower 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine which allows a 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 300 km/h – making it the fastest G-Class SUV ever.

Inside, the HOF Sir Class features high-performance sports seats as well as a unique Formula One-inspired steering wheel also found in the legendary supercar, AMG ONE, which the German tuner said “is the key to unlocking pure driving exhilaration.”

Limited to just 11 units, the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class-based HOF Sir Class is available only to interested buyers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with each having a base price of €650,000 or Dh2.5 million.

“This car is not just a tribute to the past, but also an investment in the future. Even 20 years from now, a collector will still value this vehicle,” said Ferdinand Peter, owner of HOF.

“Our engineers needed to constantly push the limits to reach our 300kph+ mission. This is not only about tuning an engine – the entire set-up of the car including suspension and brakes needed to be heavily modified and improved.”
