The immortal Hummer is back

in #cars8 years ago

First, a little history. In 2010, General Motors was forced to restructure its industrial activities and get rid of brands that were serving as "dead weight" at a time when the American builder needed to recover from bankruptcy. One such brand was Hummer, who built civilian versions of the famous HMMWV family transport, or Humvee, popularized in Operation Desert Storm during the First Gulf War, and video clips of rapper Snoop Dogg.
Meanwhile, AM General, which had created the HMMWV and provided a production license to GM for the creation of the civilian model, continued to produce vehicles for military use. Only fans of the concept were not satisfied and continued to push for the return of the brand. And they were willing to pay well for it. When there is money and will, the product arises. And the Hummer is back.

The new civilian versions will be built in China and sold worldwide by Humvee Export. Unfortunately, your original audience will remain orphaned. Production is limited to exclusive customers, but the new Humvee C-Series is considered the same as the military version, so it's not considered a limited edition. However, in the rest of the world, hardcore fans will be able to continue to use their toy in the most adverse terrain conditions.

The technical characteristics of the Hummer do not change. Full-length all-wheel drive, four-speed automatic transmission, ford capability of 76 cm (no obstacle representing an obstacle), angle of attack of 48 degrees (very steep), weight of almost 3500 kg in empty, Goodyear tires 37 inches and two engines to choose from, the previous generation GM LS3 of the Chevrolet Corvette with 430 hp, or the Duramax 6.5 Diesel with 250 hp, originally designed by GM for work vehicles. There are three levels of finishes, Bravo, Charlie and Delta.
