Hofele has made another comeback with
a special project. It’s called the ‘Pan-Amerikana’ and is based on the latest
Mercedes C-Class. The car takes its name after the legendary Panamericana race
in Mexico won by the 300 SL back in 1952. It features a new grille, with
vertical slats, similar to the design of both the classic model and modern
range-topping AMGs.
The tuner says the
front bumper styling is available in chrome, carbon, gloss black or the same
shade as the rest of the exterior. Speaking of the color, this C-Class has a
Gun Metal look in a matte finish, contrasted by the Gloss Black roof. It also
comes with dual exhaust tailpipe finishers and sits on 19-inch rims, shod in
225/40 tires.
Every vehicle tuned
by Hofele gets their ‘Branding Package’, which includes custom illuminated door
sill plates in stainless steel to greet users upon opening the doors. This
premium compact sedan has a two-tone red and black interior, with real leather
inserts that can be supplied in Alcantara.
The floor mats are
another addition, and before leaving the shop, the tuned C-Class has been given
the ‘Hofele’ exterior badging, which replaces the traditional Mercedes logos at
both ends and on the front fenders.
The company says
that each Benz tuned by them is unique, so don’t expect to see this exact combo
on another vehicle in the future.
