H3 Takes One Last Trip in Snow Covered Nurburgring

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:24:48 +0000

What happens when you take a Hummer H3, strap 4 Caterpillar snow treads in place of the wheels and take it to Nurburgring? It gives the almost-diseased brand one last great ride. Wolfgang Blaube took his H3 and modified the American SUV with specialized snow treads, allowing it to mold to the famous testing ground even as it is covered with a foot of ice and flakes. These treads do give Hummer an almost 40 inch greater tire radius, so of course it’s going to take those turns a little better. Check out the photos Via AutoBild (Translation Required)

Raser May Keep Hummer in America

America – F**K YEAH! At least that’s what Raser Technologies is saying, as they visit Washington DC in hopes to gain loans to purchase Hummer from GM, saving it from Chinese ownership. As we reported in the past, Chinese Military Defense Contractors were interested in purchasing Hummer, ever since General Motors spilled the beans about cutting off the big mother trucker brand.

Now it seems Raser, the company who produced an electric 100-mile-per-gallon H3 (which actually only gets 33 miles per gallon) is making a bid for the make. They strolled on down to Washington (or as it’s pronounced in the South Philly/Delaware region: ‘Warshington”) to “acquire government subsidies” in a bid for Hummer’s purchase, which they can rework for their own purpose – the evil plan of a fuel efficient Hummer!! Maybe next time it will actually reach 100 MPG before production begins.

Hummer Go Joe! GI Joe Film Features H2 & H3

Later this summer 80′s cartoon fans (or 50′s action figure buffs) will be able to enjoy the live action adaptation of GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Hummer fans will be able to enjoy the appearance of H2 & H3 vehicles throughout the feature. In a scene below, along with pics grabbed from Just Jared, features Ray Park (you’ll remember him as Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace) as assassin Snake Eyes.

A few great stunt scenes show him riding the roof of an H2, just before jumping off. It’s a good thing Snake Eyes doesn’t stick around, as the Hummer eventually smashes into a small European car, causing it to flip over the large American made SUV.

GI Joe looks like one hell of a live action reboot, and we can’t wait to see more clips as the months progress! GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra opens in theaters August 7th.

The 100 MPG Hummer May Not Rate 100 MPG’s

admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:44:14 +0000

The electric 100 miles per gallon Hummer H3 may not actually be rated at 100 miles per gallon. This makes Arnold very sad. Last week we reported on Raser Tech’s 100 MPG Electric Hummer, which is in the works with Raser’s revolutionary electric truck drive train. Nicknamed the Hummer H3 Volt, this vehicles is supposed to be rated at around 100 mpg, and contains a 268 horse power electric motor, which hooks directly to the transmission. A stand alone four-cylinder gasoline engine replaces the previous V6/V8 mods and drives a generator making electricity after about 40 miles.

But we have some bad news to report. At least for now, the H3 EV only gets around 33 MPG. According to Jalopnik: “For the first sixty miles the Raser Hummer runs in all EV mode and from there it will run on a constantly operating generator, resulting in an asymptotic decline in average fuel economy. It does get the dramatic 100 MPG fuel economy the company claims — as long as you don’t go further than 60 miles in a day. The actual, long-range economy is a less headline-grabbing 33 MPG.”

Perhaps one day we will live in a world where Terminators roll up to Hard Rock Cafe’s nationwide in completely green, electric powered (or better yet, hydrogen) Hummer variants. Until then, we have to admit – 33 MPG with an H3 is still pretty damn good!

Hummer’s 100 MPG H3

Raser Technologies has made a 60 MPG (miles per gallon) SUV engine and now, with help from state of the art lithium-ion batteries, has created a 100 MPG Hummer H3 power plant. Can This H3 Volt be the savior of Hummer? This H3 contains a 268 horse power electric motor, which hooks directly to the transmission. A stand alone four-cylinder gasoline engine replaces the previous V6/V8 mods and drives a generator making electricity after about 40 miles (once the lithium ion batteries are spent).

The Raser Tech electric Hummer H3 can be charged via 120V or 220V electricity via a plug-in port. Some industry experts feel, once this technology is complete, that anyone who wants to pick up this advanced battery operated Hummer ((cough) GM (cough)) could easily do so.

Pic of the Day – Hummer vs Suzuki

Bad weather leads to bad accidents – as proven in this startling picture of a Hummer H3 that ended up in the back of a Suzuki…Forenza, maybe? From what we found online both drivers made it out alive – hard to believe:

Hummer Goes Pickup with H3T

admin — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:18:44 +0000

Pickup fans rejoice! GM is combining the utility features of a truck with one of the most boisterous SUV’s in the history of automobiles – A Hummer Pickup – H3T. The H3T is built on a Chevy Colorado frame, making it the smallest (yet still powerful) Hummer to date. The bed of our Hummer (pictured below) features a dirk bike hitch, to which you can fit your official Hummer bike to.

Engine options include a 3.7 Liter V6 with245 horse power at 5,600 rpm in manual or an optional four speed automatic. There’s also a 5.3 Liter small block V8 that pumps out 304 horse power. This option gives the driver a towing capacity of 2,676 kg. Not bad.

Off-road capabilities can be extended for the not-so-average H3T owner thanks to the new Hummer pickup truck’s Off-Road Adventure suspension package. This offers 33″ tires, 4.03:1 low-range gearing in the transfer case and a crawl ratio of 68.9 with manual or 56.2 with automatic. The standard suspension, a Z85 Heavy-Duty Handling, uses 32″ tires.
