Renowned German luxury car tailor HOF has launched the most powerful G-Class ever built: the “HOF Sir Class.” With an extraordinary 1,063 horsepower, this super-SUV will be officially revealed ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This debut marks the relaunch of the HOF brand, a luxury division born from the legacy of custom car manufacturer HOFELE.
The HOF Sir Class: A New Era for the G-Class
The HOF Sir Class redefines the G-Class experience, boasting a top speed exceeding 300 km/h, making it the fastest and most powerful G-Class ever produced. The Sir Class is a perfect blend of engineering brilliance and luxury, designed to be a true collector’s piece, embodying both unparalleled performance and timeless elegance.
Performance:
The Sir Class is a product of over two years of intensive development and seven-figure investment. In close collaboration with leading engineers and designers, this vehicle is capable of producing power comparable to a Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 car and the Mercedes AMG One (1,063 PS), generating an incredible 1,300 Nm of torque. “Our engineers needed to constantly push the limits to reach our 300km/h+ mission. This is not only about tuning an engine – the entire set up of the car including suspension and breaks needed to be heavily modified and improved”, says Ferdinand Peter, initiator of HOF. “It is therefore the first everG-Class with more than 1000 PS, the first one with ceramic breaks and the first one with a top speed of more than 300km/h.”
Inspiration:
Inspired by motorsport legends, the Sir Class celebrates Formula 1’s legacy, especially in tribute to Sir Lewis Hamilton, whose final season with Mercedes coincides with this launch. The car pays homage to Hamilton’s groundbreaking career, incorporating F1-inspired carbon fiber components and exclusive paint finishes. Guided by his life motto, Still I Rise, the Sir Class embodies the ethos of striving for greatness and inspiring others to achieve the same. “Its design pays homage to Hamilton’s iconic career, incorporating elements that echo the cutting-edge innovation of F1: carbon fiber components inspired by Formula 1 technology, ceramic-coated tailpipes, and an exclusive F1-style paint finish.” explains Etienne Salomé, who is leading the design department for HOF. Inside, the handcrafted nappa leather and meticulous attention to detail reflect the car’s commitment to both artistry and performance.
