- It says 'HUMMER' on it. In fact, a lot of things in the H2 say 'HUMMER' on them. Just about everywhere you go, you can find the word 'HUMMER' written, often obnoxiously, on a wide range of panels and pieces that don’t usually include a car’s make or model name. In case everyone else forgot what you were driving, the Hummer is there to.
- Off-road dominance is engineered into every aspect of HUMMER EV. A standard independent front and rear suspension will enable remarkable off-pavement handling and highway comfort, while available front e-lockers and virtual rear lockers † optimize traction.

GM unveils first electric Hummer that can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds
General Motors unveils its first election Hummer. FOX Business' Jeff Flock with more.
GMC is calling the upcoming Hummer EV a “Supertruck,” but it’s also a monster.
You may have noticed the three amber lights the all-electric pickup sports above its windshield. It has three more over the back window, and they are a requirement for trucks that are wider than 80 inches.
GMC
You won't seem them on light-duty models like the Silverado 1500, but they do appear on heavy-duty trucks and high-performance widebody pickups like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram 1500 TRX.
In the case of the 1,000-horsepower Hummer EV, you’re looking at a vehicle that’s 87.7 inches wide not counting the side-view mirrors and 93.7 inches with them.
That makes it over a foot wider than a GMC Canyon midsize pickup and at 216.8 inches it’s 4.4 inches longer than a crew cab Canyon with a short bed.

GMC hasn’t given the exact height of the Hummer EV yet, but the short answer is: high. That’s because it’s equipped with an air suspension system with an Extract mode that can increase its ground clearance from 10.1 inches to 15.9 to help get it off obstacles its underbody armor may get stuck on or to cross deep water.

The Hummer is the ninth solo album by Canadian musician Devin Townsend, and his second ambient album. It was released on Townsend's label, HevyDevy Records, on November 15, 2006.
Music[edit]
The album chiefly consists of interwoven low frequency sounds, flute, morse code and ocean sounds, as well as audio samples from sources such as a reading by Leonard Cohen of part of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Ravi Shankar, and the science fiction film Contact (1997). This is a quiet, reflective work in the vein of meditative music, and provides a stark antithesis to the aggressive heavy metal stance adopted by one of Townsend's other projects - Strapping Young Lad. Townsend describes it as 'much more user friendly than the Devlab...still; some people are going to think it's just buzzing and humming noises, so again...it's not for everybody.'[1]
