If you are someone that is or has been in the army, then I am pretty sure that you have had the chance to see or even drive the Military hummer. This is car that was basically designed in the eighties, as the military was in a drastic need for a car that would help the soldiers cross the enemy lines and practically ravage their defenses fast, so that they don’t have time to retaliate. When it was designed, it appeared to be like a boxy car and even though it was not one of the best looking cars, it was surely one car that was meant to enter in history.

There were more than two hundred and forty five thousand Hummers produced since the eighties and it is no doubt that they have served the military a lot. The Hummer was dubbed by the soldiers as the “army humvee” and it actually features a machine gun on top of it that is operated by a solider who will need to slip up through a vent.

When it comes to the armor of the car, it is made out of different materials and you will see that even if Kevlar was used in the past, nowadays, the US military forces are actually employing secret metals in order to facilitate a better protection for the soldiers that are using the cars, and these armor types are so great, that they can even withstand the attack of an anti tank rocket. As you would have expected, the modified version of the Hummer will also use more fuel than a normal Hummer, sometimes even double.

The weight of the car is also dependant on the type of armor that is used and on the number and weight of machine guns employed. You will not have to be surprised when you will drive a Hummer that is over 3 tons in weight. The 4 speed automatic transmission is optional. The 2010 H3 model though, has been upgraded and now it can reach from zero to 60 mph in just 11 seconds.

The engine is a V8 five point three liters that stacks three hundred horse power. With it under its hood, the Hummer is able to reach sixty miles per hour in just eight point eight seconds.

But there is news that the car will soon be out of production, as it will be replaced with another model, a model that is far superior to it and it will soon reach the production line, if things will develop on time.
