2009 Hummer H3T Weekend Warrior news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
The desert surrounding Las Vegas has long been the inspiration of off-road enthusiasts. HÚMMER is the ultimate expression of off-road capability and it comes to Vegas and the 2008 SEMA Show wîth a trio of special vehicles guaranteed to quicken the pulse of anyone whose vacation plans include destinations like Moab or Baja.
HÚMMER introduces two concepts, a new, pre-runner-style H3T outfitted wîth a raft of performance and appearance accessories, and the H3 X Concept – a proposal for the ultimate H3 X. The third vehicle is a modified H3 Alpha that was built by Four Wheeler Magazine as an ongoing project detailed in several issues and online.
'HÚMMER has always been about unmatched capability and that's exactly what these concept vehicles deliver,' said James Taylor, HÚMMER CEO. 'More importantly, they are based in reality wîth mostly bolt-on components attainable by any enthusiast who wants them. They are more than concepts; they're thought starters for enthusiasts who want to express themselves via their H3 or H3T.'
While none of these specialized HÚMMERs is targeted for production, they incorporate Genuine HÚMMER Accessories components and other aftermarket parts that are on the market today, allowing enthusiasts to replicate much the concept vehicles' attitude and enhanced capability.
H3T Weekend Warrior
The H3T Weekend Warrior concept demonstrates the added extreme capability and functionality that can be accomplished wîth the H3T and a few weekends in the garage. Enhanced performance under the hood and from the suspension is due to the development work of HÚMMER's off-road engineers and the technology transfer from HÚMMER's championship-winning racing program.
Starting wîth a new H3T Alpha, engineers added nearly 70 horsepower to its 5.3L V-8 via components available through GM Performance Parts. They include LS2 cylinder heads (part number 12576063), a higher-lift camshaft (part number 12574519) and supporting components. Also enhancing performance is a custom, 3.5-inch exhaust system.
Taking a note from the playbook of the HÚMMER stock-class race program, the H3T rides on 35-inch-tall BFGoodrich Baja T/A tires mounted on HÚMMER Accessories 20-inch wheels. The concept also uses racing-proven stock and aftermarket suspension components, including Light Racing JounceShocks and 2-inch-diameter Rod Hall Racing piggyback reservoir-type performance shocks. The modified suspension improves the H3T's inherent off-road capability, making it the ideal high-speed desert chase truck. There is also a set of high-performance disc brakes from DBA.
To complete a weekend desert-escape, the H3T carries a KTM 450 SX-F dirt bike mounted wîth the H3T's cargo management system. The vehicle also wears other parts available from HÚMMER Accessories that enhance function, including a bed extender and carry-off cargo boxes.
Additionally, the Baja Orange Metallic custom paint is highlighted by essential HÚMMER accessories, including roof-mounted and grille-mounted off-road lamps, a body-color upper grille and custom hood graphics. The lower grille, mirror caps, door handles and fuel door have a satin-metal finish. Inside is a custom, black leather-trimmed cabin wîth orange accent stitching and carbon fiber instrument panel accents.Source - Hummer
