Reaching a top speed of 186mph, this G-Class defies expectations for upright, off-road vehicles. It marks HOF's first venture, emerging from the reputable Benz tuner, Hofele. The HOF team includes former AMG expert Philip Schiemer and the visionary Ferdinand Peter.
At the heart of the Sir Class lies a heavily modified 4.0-litre biturbo AMG V8 engine, featuring:
- Forged aluminum pistons
- Enhanced turbos with advanced compressor geometry
- Stronger connecting rods
- An aluminum airbox for a richer sound
- A reinforced gearbox
- An upgraded fuel pump
- Specialized software updates, possibly including the 'Hammer Time' mode
The result? An astounding 1,048bhp and 959lb ft of torque, rivaling the AMG One hypercar's 1,049bhp and outpacing a typical G63 with a maximum speed over 186mph.
This machine halts as confidently as it accelerates, thanks to carbon-ceramic brakes. Its Formula One inspiration includes:
- A custom paint job
- Carbon body kit and bonnet
- Forged wheels
- Coilovers
- F1-style steering wheel
- Sporty seats
- Alcantara and leather interior
- HOF's 'Starry Sky Ceiling'
As HOF explained, the timing of this car's release was intentional: coinciding with Sir Lewis Hamilton's final season. The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks this tribute to an extraordinary career, emphasizing Hamilton's unmatched legacy in Formula 1.
Summary: The HOF 'Sir Class' honors Lewis Hamilton in spectacular fashion. With 1,048bhp and a 186mph top speed, this modified G-Class combines engineering excellence with Formula One-inspired luxury, timed perfectly for Hamilton's final season—a fitting tribute to a peerless racing legacy.
