It's a long, hot Hummer!

If the stock Hummer doesn't get you enough attention, try this one!

GT40-inspired Hummer in colours or Ford's famous race car

26th October 2006

 
If that's not enough bling, however, buyers can have optional giant 30-inch chrome covered alloys, which add a whopping £19,000 to the off-roader's list price
It's a Hummer that thinks it's a Ford GT40! The special-edition H2 pictured above comes complete with the paintjob used by the famous blue oval racer from the Sixties. And if that wasn't attention-grabbing enough, Lamborghini-style gullwing doors have been fitted to the machine as well.

The SUV, which costs around £90,000, is powered by an uprated version of the standard Hummer's 6.0-litre V8. A supercharger and new exhaust boost output to 550bhp, giving the vast 4x4 a 0-60mph time of under eight seconds.

Massive 380mm disc brakes have been fitted, while the suspension is lowered by 100mm for improved handling. Changes to the cabin include carbon fibre detailing, colour-coded instruments and a super-loud sound system.

If that's not enough bling, however, buyers can have optional giant 30-inch chrome covered alloys, which add a whopping £19,000 to the off-roader's list price.

Yet the H2, built by top German tuner GeigerCars, has an even more exclusive rival - the Kombat T-98, which is Russia's answer to the Hummer. It's named after the country's famous tank, costs an unbelievable £180,000 and is intended to offer the ultimate in top-security luxury transport. The maker claims this is the fastest fully armoured 4x4 in the world. There's a choice of either a 340bhp 8.1-litre V8 petrol or a 300bhp 6.6-litre diesel engine, both of which give a top speed of 111mph.
