History of the hummers
The military Humvee, it can be called the father of the hummers that gave birth to the hummers. Thus came the civilian versions of the Humvee with the brand-name HUMMER. First came the hummer h1 followed by the hummer h2.
It was in 2006 that the GM released the new model of the hummer The H3. It was the smallest of the hummers of the hummers released till then. It became a conventional SUV and the sales went up fast. With the hummer h3 more people could feel the exhilaration that comes only when one gets behind the wheels of a hummer. It has a ground clearance of 8.5 inches and has got full undercarriage protection. It has the ability to ford 24 inches of water at a speed of 5mph and 16 inches at a speed of 20mph.
It is designed for extreme of-road conditions. It has a remote key-less entry and a panic button that gives a sense of security.

“With 42 years of experience in off-road racing, I can comfortably say that HUMMERs are the most capable and rugged vehicles I’ve ever driven,” said Rod Hall. “With only minor modifications, we take the H1, H2 and H3 that a consumer can buy at their HUMMER dealership, and race it across a 1000-miles of the most intense desert conditions.”
In just 12 short years of racing, the Hall family and Team HUMMER have built a resume that would be the envy of most race teams around the globe. In total, the Team as tallied a total of 10 class wins at the Baja 1000; 41 podium finishes in the Best in the Desert series races; and five BitD class championships. In fact, the Team is still today the only American team to finish the infamous Dakar Rally in the stock class – a feat it achieved in 1996.
