The HOF 1955 is more than a car. It’s a tribute to one of the greatest moments in racing history: Sir Stirling Moss’s legendary victory at the 1955 Mille Miglia in the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR.

German tuner HOF has taken inspiration from that unforgettable race to create a modern masterpiece. This beast packs 712bhp, a nod to the original car’s race number, ‘722.’ It’s powered by an upgraded AMG biturbo V8, giving it 700lb ft of torque. Those are big numbers for a car shaped like a skyscraper, but who’s complaining?

The design is a love letter to the original. Silver paint and bold red racing numbers bring the spirit of 1955 back to life. Modern touches like carbon fiber brakes, wheels, and a redesigned grille add performance and style.

Timeless Style with Modern Details

You’ll notice the ‘722’ markings right away. They’re plastered on the sides and the bonnet, paying tribute to Stirling Moss’s famous Mille Miglia victory.

The HOF 1955 doesn’t stop at just looking the part. It comes with a custom bodykit, the HOF Evolution, loaded with carbon fiber upgrades. The bonnet, grille, and even the roof spoiler all get the lightweight treatment.

Silver with bright red racing numbers, the paint job captures the spirit of 1955 perfectly. And that handcrafted carbon fiber hood? It’s got a power dome that adds a bit of muscle to the car’s silhouette.

Up front, there’s a carbon fiber grille. It’s sharp and modern but still feels connected to the original car’s classic design. It’s hard to miss.

The wheels are where things really get exclusive. The car rides on 24-inch forged carbon wheels that look as good as they perform. And if you want to go all-in, there’s an option to add aerodiscs for that extra racing flair.

Even the practical stuff is cool. Electric running boards make getting in and out easy, especially with the car’s tall stance. They’re fully integrated and feel like a natural part of the design.

A Cockpit Steeped in Racing Heritage

Slide into the HOF 1955, and you’re greeted by a cabin that feels like a tribute to racing history. Blue leather wraps the seats, paired with iconic blue-grey Tartan fabric.

The steering wheel steals the show. It’s handcrafted from rich wood with sleek carbon fibre accents, blending old-school charm with cutting-edge design. You can almost picture Moss gripping a wheel like this on his way to victory.

Every detail has been thought through. The carbon fiber package, crafted in HOF’s Sindelfingen workshop, adds a futuristic edge while staying true to the car’s roots. It’s luxury with a purpose.

Even the door sills make an impression. They glow softly, thanks to illuminated carbon fiber detailing. It’s a small touch, but one that turns stepping into the car into an experience.

Limited Editions and a Glimpse at What’s Next

Only 10 examples of the HOF 1955 will be produced, styled by a former Bugatti designer Etienne Salomé. This exclusivity ensures it’s a collector’s dream. But if you’re after something less retro and more rebellious, the HOF Rebel might be your answer.

The Rebel doesn’t hold back on attitude. Its bold camouflage paint—available in white-grey or red—is anything but subtle. Like its sibling, it features a full carbon bodykit, massive 24-inch wheels, and brakes borrowed from the G63. Inside, you’ll find more camo and carbon touches, paired with HOF’s signature starlight ceiling headliner for an otherworldly vibe.

Beneath the surface, the Rebel is built on the bones of the Mercedes G580, offering a different kind of power. It’s all-electric, with a 116kWh battery, four motors, and around 580bhp. The range is a respectable 280 miles, and yes, it can do the famous ‘G-Turn,’ spinning on the spot to show off its camo flair.

HOF isn’t stopping here. After the Sir Class, the 1955, and the Rebel, the company has hinted at one final addition to its “Collection No. 1.” Due in 2025, the last car will involve a collaboration with a well-known figure from the music industry. It’s a mystery for now, but the anticipation is already building.
