Lewis Hamilton-inspired 1063 hp HOF ‘Sir Class’ G-Wagon revealed

German tuner HOF, a company led by former Mercedes-AMG CEO Philip Schiemer, has revealed what is said to be the fastest G-Wagon in the world. It’s called the HOF Sir Class and is a tribute to seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who will leave the Mercedes team at the end of this season.

The HOF Sir Class features a 2-tone exterior inspired by Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team colours. The custom body kit includes a carbon fibre hood, unique bumpers, wider fenders and 23-inch wheels with teal accents.

Inside, the custom G-Wagon gets black bucket seats with teal highlights and a rectangular steering wheel similar to that of the Mercedes-AMG One hypercar.

Under the hood of the Sir Class is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine which produces 1063 hp and 959 lb-ft of torque. The heavily modified unit packs forged pistons and beefier connecting rods, new turbos and an aluminium airbox.

The SUV also sits 1.2 inches lower to the ground compared to the standard G63 for better handling and aero reasons. HOF claims a 0-62 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

Only 11 examples of the HOF Sir Class will be built with a starting price of $690,000.
