Electric Hum To GM Supertruck
Classic American|December 2020
After months of hype and a decade on the shelf, the Hummer nameplate has returned.
Electric Hum To GM Supertruck

General Motors just unveiled the new GMC Hummer EV during a Livestream debut event, pulling the sheets on a high-tech, high-powered and highly capable super-truck. Outside, the new GMC Hummer EV takes styling cues from its predecessors with a wide, horizontal fascia that reveals the Hummer nameplate in script between the headlamps when illuminated. The stance is tall and wide, with steel underbody armour located around the battery pack for aggressive off-roading strength. The profile reveals a four-door cab with a short rear bed, while 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tyres make the traction.

Under the skin is GM’s new EV-dedicated BT1 architecture, which cradles the automaker’s latest Ultium lithium-ion battery technology and Ultium Drive motor technology. Customers can choose from several different powertrains, including a dual-motor and triple-motor set-up. The range-topping three-motor model produces more than 1000 horsepower and 11,500ft-lb of torque, propelling the GMC Hummer EV to 60mph in just three seconds. Lower in the lineup, output levels include 625-horsepower and 800-horsepower models.
