1,063hp HOF Sir Class celebrates Hamilton with ceramic brakes, F1 livery and chassis overhaul
‘The HOF Sir Class honours one of motorsport’s most decorated champions - a modern knight who has defied expectations and redefined racing. With seven world championships, the model pays tribute to a man whose influence transcends the track, embodying style, performance and unwavering leadership.’ So reckons Mercedes modifiers HOF Manufaktur of Sir Lewis Hamilton, and it’s hard to imagine anyone with even a passing knowledge of F1 disputing any letter of their claim.
This mega G isn’t all style over substance, either, as the ‘63 comes with ceramic brakes , an option not available on the standard AMG. And then there’s the small matter of more than 1,000hp. It hasn’t been made clear exactly how they bumped the mega 4x4 from 585hp to 1,063hp and more than 180mph, though we’d have to assume some fairly serious hardware tweaks as well as ECU fiddling and a silly exhaust. Which is still side exit, thank goodness.
If the exterior, complete with that paint scheme, the wheels and even a carbon bonnet, is pretty bold, the inside of the Sir Edition is arguably more attention grabbing still. The F1-style wheel feels pretty unavoidable , the rectangular shape a total transformation from stock. And almost quite small given the vastness of everything else inside.
Speaking of which, HOF says just 11 such G63s will be converted, with a price in the region of half a million pounds. The reports seen thus far are suggesting that the Sir Class will be limited only to sales in the UAE, which would make some sense, though there would surely be interested parties elsewhere. The market for modified Gs is a large one, after all - just take one look
