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.
