German HOF tuning shop marks Lewis Hamilton’s departure from Mercedes F1 with a car that matches the character of the seven-time champion. With 1,048 horsepower, a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph, the HOF “Sir Class” may very well be the fastest G-Wagen on Earth. And there is more vacation this.
While Sir Class doesn’t touch Brabus’ level of opulence, there’s nothing subtle about it. Tiffany Green accents—sides, badges, wheels—are a nod to the Petronas livery, but even that can only briefly distract from the Sir Class’s stunning livery. HOF calls it a “fading coloration” with a smooth transition from a sterling silver tone on the nose to a deep black on the rear. It’s perhaps the most understated element in the entire package, but also the most visually striking. The large carbon fiber hood vents are aggressive but not overpowering. On the other hand, the custom 23-inch rims…
The interior is just as open. If something doesn’t look right, but you can’t quite place it, take a close look at the wheel. This was taken from the Mercedes-AMG One hypercarwhich has more than its share of ties to the manufacturer’s F1 outfit. The seat patterns are custom made and HOF used Nappa leather and Alcantara. The Gun Metal interior package adds sleek dark trim and brushed open-pore carbon fiber bits, though if you ask me, the coolest interior touch is the F1-inspired track map embroidery in the headliner. But then again, the trend of sticking maps into everything automotive was mostly designed for geeks like me. I’m weird – I get it.
And, of course, there will be nothing subtle in the performance of Sir Class either. The tuned V8 makes 959 lb-ft of torque, so rest assured it won’t be caught when you need it most. HOF also lowered the Sir Class by just over an inch and included a carbon-ceramic brake system that should at least help keep this stupid-fast G-Class from overstressing for a lap or two. And realistically, when you buy a custom 1,000 horsepower G-Class, you’re buying carbon ceramic because. That’s all. Simple because.
The Sir Class doesn’t appear to have a price tag, and from the way it’s described, we suspect it’s a one-of-a-kind deal – an exhibit that HOF can be used to request future custom builds. The HOF calls it a tribute to “The Greatest Knight on the Track.” Maybe that’s all it takes?
