ONE of eleven Lewis Hamilton-inspired Mercedes G-Wagons with a rectangular steering wheel could be yours for £541K.
The “Sir Class” has just been unveiled by HOF, a brand known for making tuned versions of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Images show the car with a silver-to-black finish, inspired by the team’s racing colours, with Petronas Tiffany Green accents on the 23-inch wheels, wing mirrors, and throughout the interior.
The outline of the Yas Marina circuit, where the Abu Dhabi GP is held, is embroidered into the car’s headliner.
Other features pictured include the rectangular F1-style steering wheel and racing bucket seats.
The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 producing 1,063 horsepower and 959 ft-lbs of torque.
The engine is equipped with new aluminium pistons, stronger connecting rods, new turbos, and a high-flow fuel system, while the ECU has also been remapped.
This SUV can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 186 mph, making it the fastest G-Wagon in history.
As a fan favourite, the G-Class is favoured by A-listers around the globe with Megan Fox, Britney Spears, and Kendall Jenner all sporting the chunky SUV.
It’s also been featured in various hit songs including Post Malone’s Wow.
This tribute G-Wagon is the first project undertaken by HOF.
The company said in a statement: “Its creation was timed to perfection, aligning with the final season of one of the greatest drivers of all time, Sir Lewis Hamilton.”
Lewis Hamilton is an iconic British racing car driver, considered a living legend in Formula 1.
Having won seven championships, he has tied with Michael Schumacher and has set several solo records including 105 wins, 104 pole positions, and 202 podium finishes.
HOF added: “As the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks the end of his extraordinary journey with Mercedes, this car stands as a tribute to a career that has surpassed all expectations, cementing his place as the greatest Formula 1 driver in history.”
He drove his final race for Mercedes over the weekend but was beaten by McLaren’s Lando Norris, who secured his fourth win of the season.
Lewis Hamilton surged from 16th on the grid to secure fourth place with a last-lap overtake on his team-mate George Russell.
He had faced a nightmare in qualifying during his final race weekend with the Silver Arrows.
However, he was granted the liberty of the home straight to perform some donuts in celebration of his farewell after achieving six championship titles with the British team.
