A top speed of 250 km/h: The world�s fastest HUMMER comes from GeigerCars.de (www.geigercars.de ). The leading European tuner of American automobiles equips the SUV with a 7.0-liter V8 supercharged engine delivering a maximum power output of 700 hp / 515 kW and a peak torque of 904 Nm. Added to that is an exclusive GeigerCars.de luxury equipment package with 28-inch chrome wheels, sport suspension, high-performance brake system, pearl-effect special paint and an exclusive interior complete with multimedia system.
To make the HUMMER H2 the fastest of its kind the specialists at GeigerCars.de replace the standard 6.0-liter engine with a V8 from the current Corvette C6, albeit with a bored-out displacement of 7,011 cc. Numerous additional modifications such as precision-machining the two cylinder heads, the installation of a sport camshaft and a reinforced valvetrain are also part of the GeigerCars.de power treatment as is a cogged-belt driven supercharger with high-capacity intercooler. A fully stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with high-performance manifold and metal catalysts completes the engine conversion.
With these modifications the supercharged eight-cylinder engine produces a maximum power output of 700 hp / 515 kW at 5,500 rpm and a peak torque of 904 Nm at 4,260 rpm. Power is transferred to all four wheels via a modified four-speed automatic transmission. Despite a curb weight of 3.1 metric tons the HUMMER H2 7.0 Kompressor from GeigerCars.de achieves performance on the level of a purebred sports car: The sprint from 0 � 100 km/h takes just 6.5 seconds, top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Performance such as this necessitates numerous GeigerCars.de modifications to the suspension. Immediately eye-catching are the king-size 10Jx28 forged one-piece chrome wheels with size 325/35 R 28 tires. |
