October 29, 200718 yr GM @ SEMAHUMMER H3R Off-Road ConceptFor release: Oct. 29, 2007, 12:01 a.m. EDT Thanks primarily to the efforts of the Team HUMMER racing team, led by Rod Hall, the HUMMER H3 has quickly proved to be a formidable off-road competitor. It runs – and wins – in stock-class off-road races, where racers must rely on production chassis and powertrains. The H3R pays homage to the racing SUV while pushing the envelope on what could be considered “stock” – supposing the factory decided to drop in the 505-horsepower, 7.0L V-8 from the Corvette Z06. In addition to the high-powered engine, the H3R also sports a number of racing-inspired exterior modifications and an interior that blends racing functionality with boulevard comfort and convenience. No, a production H3 equipped with an LS7 engine isn’t in the cards, but for 2008, HUMMER offers the H3 Alpha, which is powered by a new, 300-hp 5.3L all-aluminum V-8. Vehicle highlights: • H3R concept • LS7 7.0L V-8 with 505 horsepower and Hydra-Matic 4L60 electronically controlled four-speed transmission • Custom valve covers and ignition coil covers • New, forward-tilting hood with Lexan see-through insert • Power-operated hood hinges • Custom air induction system with dual air boxes • Racing-inspired paint scheme with custom badging • Off-road lighting package with unique light bar • Custom rear dual exhaust system with four outlets • Wheel flares with quick-remove fasteners • HID headlamps from Starr Lighting • Clear front corner lamp lenses • Front bull bar • Body-color “Jerry” can mounted on the spare tire carrier • Twenty-inch wheels • Mickey Thompson Bear Claw 35-inch off-road tires • Rotora high-performance brake package • Fixed quarter window inserts • Eaton front locking differential • Enhanced cooling system with larger radiator • Modified suspension with Tenneco/Rancho four-inch lift package and Rancho reservoir shocks • Re-trimmed interior with brushed metal accents and trim • Front racing seats with five-point safety harnesses and weather-resistant seat material • Simpson window safety net • Washable rubber floor covering replaces carpeting • Navigation radio system • Off-road integrated display gauge package with compass, inclinometer, altimeter and timer • Auxiliary performance gauges • Auxiliary 20-gallon fuel tank • Second-row seats deleted • Cargo-area spare tire mount GM Accessories (production and concept) • Rocker protectors • Underbody shield • Side-window weather deflector • Roadside assistance package • First-aid kit • Hitch receiver cover • Body-color grille
October 29, 200718 yr .............................damn. i'd like to see that race....an evo or sti...
October 29, 200718 yr At first I thought the power operated hood hinges were a cool idea, but then I thought about having a dead battery. Wouldn't that be a bitch? I guess the battery is stashed somewhere else on the vehicle?
October 29, 200718 yr my fav so far, except... what's with the "accessory/afterthought" looking fuel tank on the back? wtf?
October 29, 200718 yr +2 to Blu. LS7 is awesome, but 4 speed?????? I think it may be because the 6-speed may be too big for the engine bay.
October 29, 200718 yr I am an Obnoxious Piece of - Burn me - Fixed. It looks more like an H2 now. I like it overall..especially the color. Edited October 29, 200718 yr by Dodgefan
