Hofele is one of the companies we don’t expect to work on family cars and family convenience overall, in its past aiming only for high power and torque output, but as we can see today we were all wrong, because the company just built the ultimate family G-Wagen featuring 6 seats and a lot of power underneath its hood.
The G-Class pack way more than you would expect from a family car, making over 550 Horsepower and over 800 Nm of torque alone without the help of any hybrid or electric controller inside the engine or the transmission.
If you’re trying to take a full cluster of friends off-road whereas making sure they’re very comfy, then check out German tuner Hofele’s three-row, six-seat conversion for the Mercedes-AMG G63. Whereas the interior and exterior receive some changes, the model retains the stock 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that produces 577 HP (430 kilowatts) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters).
On the surface, Hofele installs a brand new front bumper that has dark shadow chrome round the inlets and carbon fiber trim. The fender flares also are carbon. The company incorporates a light bar higher than the windshield, and it’s available in chrome, carbon, and body-color finishes. At the rear, there’s a carbon fiber spare wheel cover. The SUV rides on 24-inch wheels with a style that uses sets of double spokes.
Hofele also offers proprietary, electrically deployable side steps. The pieces retain the G63 side-exit exhausts, and the pipes move with the steps because otherwise, they’d be in the way. The tuner additionally offers extra-wide opening rear doors for an even easier time getting into the vehicle.
Inside, the company replaces the standard two-row layout with a total of six seats in 3 rows. Hofele admits that those in the very back are a small amount cramped and “more suitable for kids or smaller adults.” The rearmost chairs are removable if owners ever need to sacrifice the occupancy for extra cargo space.
Interested customers can either send their G-Class to Hofele to have this work done. The company is additionally a Mercedes-Benz partner, so in some European countries a person can buy this vehicle directly from Hofele, and it would associate with a factory warranty.
