2008 Hummer HX Concept
January 9, 2008 by George Skentzos
General Motors has released official images of the Hummer HX Concept – actually they were apparently leaked, although that word is being used far too liberally lately.
The Hummer certainly has come a long way since the tank-sized H1 yet has obviously lost none of its appeal, and if this latest concept is any indication, future models will continue the trend.
Though not attractive in the classical sense of automotive design, the HX concept certainly ticks all the boxes on what a Hummer should be: bold, flamboyant, eccentric, dominant, excessive.
It seems this concept may even be environmentally friendly as well, using an E85 FlexFuel 3.6-litre SIDI V6 powerplant mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Exceptional off-road ability is almost guaranteed with a front stabilizer bar that can be electronically disconnected for greater manoeuvrability offroad, with a massive CNC-machined billet trailing arm setup in the rear. Fully independent suspension and heavy duty Fox shocks at each corner mean the 35inch tall rubber should find a suitable foot hold when tackling rough terrain.
Versatility is also a new addition to the Hummer vocabulary with the modular design of fenders, doors, roof, rear and side windows which can all be removed.
Officially the Hummer HX Concept is scheduled to début at next week’s NAIAS.
Print it: 
this is the only hummer i like looks like it good do the job and doesnt look like a rubix cube on wheels
looks tough!
looks great….but whats enviromentally about ethanol when so much green house gases are needed to produce the stuff, whats wrong with hydrogen burning internal combustion powerfull V8 engines and the hydrogen can be made from sea water using solar energy to produce it.
maybe because the oil barons wouldn’t be able to even give their poison away let alone charge $100 a barell for that sludge if that hydrogen fuel became available
As an option, you can have your HX turn into Grimlock or Megatron!
Can just see that engine turning into a Transformer head in my mind :D
A bigger and better Suzuki Vitara! Alot better!
It’s still an American car to me.
To big, fat and wide for our roads.
On the plus side, it’ll take the regular conditions of Parramatta Road just fine. Able to crawl its way out of the pot holes.
This reminds me of that truck you ride around in from the Game Halo! Just mount a plasma cannon on top and your off..
Yep the Warthog with the Marine at the gun and Master cheif running over a grunt.
Haaaaa yeah giddy up! ^
Yeah, one of the few hummers that actually have an ounce of good looks and practicality
they should put it in the army, and stick a fat cannon on and bobs your uncle a much more mobile tank
yee ha horsey lets blow these guys heads off
Niceeeeeeeeee!!!
Nicest One yet and they’re all nice!!
If they would get rid of the H3 and bring back the H1 with the H2 and this it would be awesome!!!!
Awsome wack the big 7.0 litre v8 in it and i’ll put my order in now.
Very nice design over the H2 model. Not much love lost here for the H3 but have always respected the H1 for the purpose it was built for.
This one also looks purpose built but with more of the purpose being for family fun versus crushing the enemy. It also has a certain amount of styling….albeit, not the European smoothness….
My brothers thoughts….”I like that Hummer though…looks like a Transformers Jeep!”
