The pics of the upcoming model which will be launched in 2009 .

The name of the new model is Hummer H3T alpha crew cab

It is a new mid-size pickup truck from the Hummer marque of American automaker General Motors. It is Hummer’s first vehicle to be only sold as a pickup truck, the other being the larger Hummer H2 sold in SUV and pickup truck body styles. Originally shown as a concept car during the 2004 Los Angeles Auto Show, the H3T is set to enter production. The production vehicle will be shown at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, with sales to begin in August 2008 as a 2009 model. It is the only mid-size pickup truck to not support rear-wheel drive.


 

Hummer H3 converted into super-sized remote control car Saturday, May 17 2008

Now here’s an interesting new direction for remote-controlled toys. British engineer Dr James Brighton has transformed the HUMMER H3 into a super-sized remote controlled vehicle to create the ultimate boy’s toy. It took a month to do, but the results have been sensational with exceptional handling, much better than anything remote controlled until now. At UKP26,500 for the Hummer, it’s probably the most expensive remote controlled civilian project in the world too.

“The results are clear – all controllers will be amazed by the handling ability – the best any radio controlled vehicle has had to date. The vehicle is capable of climbing a 407mm vertical wall, traversing a 40% side slope and operating in up to 610mm of water – imagine the fun,” said Brighton.

It’s not really all that suprising that the HUMMER is a great-handling remote-controlled toy – with permanent full-time four-wheel drive, a two-ratio transfer gearbox, traction control and HUMMER’s patented StabiliTrack Stability Enhancement System on all models, the H3 is as sure-footed as they come.
