GM SEMA Show Concept H3 with 5.3L V-8 E85 ethanol FlexFuel Capability

The 2007 HUMMER H3 is a highly versatile midsize SUV and the addition of an E85-capable 5.3L V-8 increases its versatility. E85 is an ethanol-based alternative fuel made from domestically produced renewable resources. GM engineers developed the H3 E85 FlexFuel to demonstrate that an alternative fuel vehicle can combine with stylish design for a unique, forward-thinking SUV. To highlight the H3 E85’s alternative intentions, designers focused on making the H3 exterior smooth and streamlined, including the addition of a body color rear spare tire cover. A lower profile was achieved with a two-inch suspension drop. Chrome wheels and components from HUMMER Accessories complement a custom-mixed Spectra Flair matte exterior paint finish. The interior features extensive use of custom leather upholstery.

Very,very, veeery nice I sure hope they will sell it .....sometime

 

did they say anything about the gas milage? Looks great with the painted lowers

 

looks like the H3X

 

There is something about it, that looks Milk-toast...It lost the square jaw kinda rugged look..I donno, I maybe seeing things or it's the artist's rendition that makes it look whimpy...Sorry, other than the V8 appeal, I would probably pass on this one...

 

Its definately been lowered. They better not do what Jeep did on the liberty and decide one year that it needs to be 2 inches lower.

 

If GM forgets to put the new 6speed auto tranny in this they are nuts. This vehicle definitely needs more power but with the new auto they would be able to keep the gas mileage up. I hope the dump the 4speed auto, its ancient technology!

 

Kinda looks like a Jeep to me.
