GMC has released some footage of the brand new Hummer. The well-known name makes its comeback next fall and we also see quite well-known forms return.
Hummer, that no longer existed, did it? That’s right, but this will change this year. As a model of GMC, the Hummer becomes part of modern times. The modern era yes, because the Hummer is completely electric. Who would have dreamed that in the previous Hummers? Actually, the new raw builder should have been shown last spring, but the pandemic threw a spanner in the works. Now the unveiling is scheduled for this fall. GMC would like to bring that to the attention and is kind enough to show the Hummer (partly) a few times.
Although it is still about shadowy pictures, a clay model and a bare body, it can be seen in broad terms that the Hummer remains fairly true to its petrol-guzzling ancestors in appearance. In terms of lines, then, because in terms of drive it will be a completely different story. The Hummer becomes a whopping 1,000 horsepower EV that shoots to 60 mph (96 km / h) in 3 seconds. Of course, such an electric powertrain also means that it becomes a true monster in terms of torque, although Hummer is still talking about an undoubtedly somewhat misleading ’15, 600 Nm ‘. That will not have been calculated in the normal way, rather count on about 1,100 Nm, still more than enough! Enough in any case to already have a table with the American army to see if a Humvee can come again.
Next autumn GMC will finally pull the canvas of the new Hummer and it will also immediately open the order books, the brand says. After that we have to be patient; production of the Hummer only starts a year later; in the autumn of 2021.
