Hummer H2 Canepa Design.
SEMA Show Truck
This 2006 Hummer H2 was built & shown as the featured vehicle for General Motors at the recent SEMA Show in Las
Vegas, Nevada. Built from a brand new 2006 H2, this vehicle was completely disassembled to make extensive
modifications to the roof and interior. The roof was opened and restructured to install a full length electric
sliding sunroof. The floor was extensively modified to allow for the installation of two factory, full power,
bucket seats in the center aisle. The two seats were located more than a 12 inches rearward to allow for expanded
legroom and reclining capability. The entire cabin of the vehicle was sound deadened to eliminate noise and heat.
Over 1500 man hours invested in the design and build of this one of a kind H2! Over $50,000 in upgrade parts alone!
Performance
Performance comes from a 500 HP inter-cooled supercharged engine system including a fuel system upgrade,
re-programed ECU, air intake and filter, in addition to a complete "Catback" stainless steel exhaust system
including brushed stainless steel exhaust tips.
Wheels/Tires
The Canepa Design H2 stands on custom 20" forged alloy wheels with 37" x 20" on-road/off-road radial tires.
Suspension/Brakes
Custom Edelbrock "Xtreme Travel" remote reservoir gas shocks and Canepa Design front and rear sway bars
dramatically improve the handling. The New four wheel Brembo brake system includes the largest calipers and rotors
ever built.
Exterior
The exterior monochromatic design starts with a custom formulated color "Chestnut Bronze Metallic". Over 80
individual body items that were black on a stock Hummers was refinished in either gloss or matte body color. They
include; front and rear bumper cover assemblies, front and rear rock guard fascias, hood vent, roof rails and
windshield pillar moldings, mirror assemblies, door handle bezels, taillight surrounds and pillar vents, custom
Canepa Design wheel opening flairs, lower rocker moldings, rear hatch license panel, etc. The monochromatic theme
is accented by special titanium plated appointments including; the front grille, custom billet fuel door, hood
handles, side cowl vents and rear-body "Hummer" logo.
The side and rear glass is double paned with an insulated membrane between the glass to eliminate noise and
dramatically improve security. This glass was first introduced at SEMA in this vehicle. Other options include
back-up camera system, chrome plated tow hooks (front and rear with polished stainless steel hardware), powder
coated front lower skidplate, power retractable steps, front and rear hitch covers with lock, etc.
Interior
The entire interior was redesigned by Canepa with 100% leather trim throughout. The leather was custom dyed and
embossed by Edelman Leather in New York. The "rust" primary color with graphite "diamond-plate" seat inserts and
accent trim enhance the 4 bucket seats, door panels, center console, cargo trim panels, lower dash, armrests and
door pulls, pillar-trim panels, overhead console and visors, etc. "Rust" color Rolls-Royce carpet is used
"wall-to-wall" including door pockets and rear storage compartments. Matching Alcantera suede material is used on
the custom fabricated headliner. Final interior touches include titanium shifter and bezel, speaker covers,
interior door handles and vents surrounds, Keith Collins sculptured floor carpets and "soft touch" interior trim
finishes.
The mobile electronics package includes three 9" integrated LCD screens, 10 disk remote controlled DVD changer,
wireless headphones, and optional surround sound. The stereo system upgrade includes a custom JL Audio subwoofer,
amp and speaker system. Backup camera is integrated into factory screen.

Hummers are for Horses: Artist reimagines the monsterous SUV [w/video]
Thu, 25 Mar 2010Horse-drawn Hummer H2 - Click above to view the video after the jump
When the internal combustion engine finally helped the automobile pass the horse-drawn carriage as the chosen method of transportation for a majority of citizens in the United States, that a step in the right direction. Right? Moving forward about a hundred years... when the behemoth Sport Utility Vehicle that never actually seems to venture off the beaten path passed the minivan in the hearts and minds of families across the country as the people-mover of choice, was that a step in the right direction?
If you answered no to either of the above questions, perhaps you'll enjoy the video pasted after the break. Created by artist Jeremy Dean (read about our initial post on the project here), the converted Hummer H2 is called Futurama and is pulled by two white horses named, appropriately enough, Duke and Diesel. Hummers are for horses? See for yourself.
AM General to offer civilian Humvee kit car
Thu, 02 Aug 2012For anyone feeling nostalgic about the passing of the Hummer brand, or the actual wartime vehicle that inspired it, now is your chance to own a version of the original HMMWV, albeit without an engine.
After a 12-year hiatus from the civilian vehicle market, AM General is reportedly set to offer a kit-car of the C-Series Humvee. The kit will conform to U.S. government regulations and has been made possible by a deal with General Motors.
The kit costs $59,000 - and you still need an engine. A likely favorite would be a Duramax Diesel V8 and Allison transmission combination, as was found on the H1 Alpha. AM General estimates that an owner could buy the kit Humvee and outfit a powerplant and transmission for $75,000. Not bad, considering that H1 Alpha has an MSRP of $140,000 in 2005.
Turn Out the Lights: Final Hummer H3 rolls off the line... for Avis
Tue, 25 May 20102010 Hummer H3 - Click above for high-res image gallery
Would the last one out the door please switch off the lights? The long strange trip that has been the Hummer brand is just about over for General Motors. The final ever production H3 rolled out of GM's Shreveport, Louisiana factory on Monday May 24, 2010 on its way to an Avis rental car outlet. As you may recall, GM had actually stopped assembling H3s in mid-2009 as it went through bankruptcy, but it resumed production recently in order to fill an 849 unit special order.
GM tried to sell the Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co., Ltd but the deal ultimately fell apart last February. A subsequent offer from Raser Technologies also went nowhere. Now that production has ceased, 200 of the 900 remaining employees at Shreveport will be laid off by July and the rest of the Hummer staff back at headquarters in Detroit is either leaving or being reassigned.
