HOF’s Ultimate Mercedes G-Wagen: The Sir Class Celebrates Lewis Hamilton’s Legacy
As the 2024 Formula 1 Championship season concludes, so does the legendary tenure of Lewis Hamilton with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. To commemorate his remarkable seven-time World Championship achievement, German tuning company HOF has unveiled a stunning tribute: the Sir Class G-Wagen. This ultra-luxurious, high-performance SUV takes the iconic Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG to a whole new level, combining insane power, incredible design, and exclusive features.
Overhauled Powertrain: 1,048 HP and 959 lb-ft of Torque
At the heart of the Sir Class G-Wagen is an overhauled version of the G63’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, now producing a jaw-dropping 1,048 horsepower (1,063 PS) and 959 lb-ft (1,300 Nm) of torque. HOF’s tuning process includes upgraded turbochargers, aluminum pistons, stronger connecting rods, and a high-flow fuel system, alongside a bespoke air intake and ECU tune. The result? A G-Wagen capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h)—an astonishing feat for such a brick-shaped SUV.

Uniquely Dramatic Design
HOF has completely transformed the G-Wagen’s design, ensuring it matches the high-performance specs. The custom bodykit includes flared wheel arches, a bespoke hood, blacked-out grilles, and aggressive rocker panels. The SUV sports a stunning Sterling Silver-to-black paint fade, reminiscent of the striking design seen in the latest Mercedes F1 cars. Bright turquoise accents, similar to the iconic Petronas green used in F1, complete the exterior, highlighting the vehicle’s boldness.
Additionally, 23-inch forged wheels with carbon fiber aero covers contribute to the SUV’s commanding presence. These wheels are paired with carbon ceramic brakes, designed for performance and aesthetics. The addition of coilovers lowers the ride height, improving handling and giving the Sir Class a more dynamic stance. Side-exiting exhausts with ceramic white tailpipes offer an aggressive sound to match the SUV’s enhanced performance.
Interior Fit for a Champion
Inside, HOF has created an environment that rivals the performance with luxurious and high-tech features. The interior boasts black Alcantara and black Nappa leather upholstery, with touches of turquoise blue accents for a sporty flair. Notably, the steering wheel is a custom design inspired by the one in the Mercedes-AMG One hypercar, itself derived from the Formula 1 steering wheel. This unique wheel adds a racing edge to the SUV’s cabin, a tribute to Hamilton’s legacy.
The front sports seats are designed for both comfort and performance, offering exceptional support. The interior also features a bespoke headliner stitched with the outline of a racetrack, making it clear that this is no ordinary luxury vehicle.
A Truly Exclusive Limited Edition
Production of the Sir Class G-Wagen will be strictly limited to just 11 examples, each carrying an eye-watering price tag of $690,000. This rarity makes it an even more exclusive item for those who desire the best of both performance and luxury. The Sir Class is more than just a modified G-Wagen; it’s a tribute to Mercedes-Benz’s motorsport heritage, a celebration of Lewis Hamilton’s extraordinary career, and a showcase of HOF’s unparalleled craftsmanship.
