Hummer H2 Canepa Design.
SEMA Show Truck
This 2006 Hummer H2 was built & shown as the featured vehicle for General Motors at the recent SEMA Show in Las
Vegas, Nevada. Built from a brand new 2006 H2, this vehicle was completely disassembled to make extensive
modifications to the roof and interior. The roof was opened and restructured to install a full length electric
sliding sunroof. The floor was extensively modified to allow for the installation of two factory, full power,
bucket seats in the center aisle. The two seats were located more than a 12 inches rearward to allow for expanded
legroom and reclining capability. The entire cabin of the vehicle was sound deadened to eliminate noise and heat.
Over 1500 man hours invested in the design and build of this one of a kind H2! Over $50,000 in upgrade parts alone!
Performance
Performance comes from a 500 HP inter-cooled supercharged engine system including a fuel system upgrade,
re-programed ECU, air intake and filter, in addition to a complete "Catback" stainless steel exhaust system
including brushed stainless steel exhaust tips.
Wheels/Tires
The Canepa Design H2 stands on custom 20" forged alloy wheels with 37" x 20" on-road/off-road radial tires.
Suspension/Brakes
Custom Edelbrock "Xtreme Travel" remote reservoir gas shocks and Canepa Design front and rear sway bars
dramatically improve the handling. The New four wheel Brembo brake system includes the largest calipers and rotors
ever built.
Exterior
The exterior monochromatic design starts with a custom formulated color "Chestnut Bronze Metallic". Over 80
individual body items that were black on a stock Hummers was refinished in either gloss or matte body color. They
include; front and rear bumper cover assemblies, front and rear rock guard fascias, hood vent, roof rails and
windshield pillar moldings, mirror assemblies, door handle bezels, taillight surrounds and pillar vents, custom
Canepa Design wheel opening flairs, lower rocker moldings, rear hatch license panel, etc. The monochromatic theme
is accented by special titanium plated appointments including; the front grille, custom billet fuel door, hood
handles, side cowl vents and rear-body "Hummer" logo.
The side and rear glass is double paned with an insulated membrane between the glass to eliminate noise and
dramatically improve security. This glass was first introduced at SEMA in this vehicle. Other options include
back-up camera system, chrome plated tow hooks (front and rear with polished stainless steel hardware), powder
coated front lower skidplate, power retractable steps, front and rear hitch covers with lock, etc.
Interior
The entire interior was redesigned by Canepa with 100% leather trim throughout. The leather was custom dyed and
embossed by Edelman Leather in New York. The "rust" primary color with graphite "diamond-plate" seat inserts and
accent trim enhance the 4 bucket seats, door panels, center console, cargo trim panels, lower dash, armrests and
door pulls, pillar-trim panels, overhead console and visors, etc. "Rust" color Rolls-Royce carpet is used
"wall-to-wall" including door pockets and rear storage compartments. Matching Alcantera suede material is used on
the custom fabricated headliner. Final interior touches include titanium shifter and bezel, speaker covers,
interior door handles and vents surrounds, Keith Collins sculptured floor carpets and "soft touch" interior trim
finishes.
The mobile electronics package includes three 9" integrated LCD screens, 10 disk remote controlled DVD changer,
wireless headphones, and optional surround sound. The stereo system upgrade includes a custom JL Audio subwoofer,
amp and speaker system. Backup camera is integrated into factory screen.

Report: Last-ditch sale effort for Hummer post wind-down announcement fading
Tue, 06 Apr 2010It's getting tough for even the most ardent supporters of the Hummer brand to continue to keep hope alive. Reports the aficionados at HummerGuy.net: "While many of us were hoping for a last-minute miracle to save the Hummer brand, signs from Detroit are indicating that Hummer production will soon cease indefinitely."
It appears as if General Motors has resigned itself to winding the brand down and letting it die a slow, agonizing death. The automaker says that it's no longer considering offers for the brand and dedicated Hummer staff are reportedly be assigned to serve elsewhere.
Oh, and about that "Save Hummer" summit that's planned for April 11th near Chicago? GM, though it is aware of the rally, has no plans to send representation. That sound that you hear? That's just the tolling of Hummer's death knell. Thanks for the tip, Brian!
Architects design home made entirely of Hummers
Tue, 26 Jul 2011Architects Craig Hodges and HsinMing Fung joined forces in 1984 to create their agency HplusF. Since then, the pair have gone on to apply their stylistic skill to the UCLA library, Hollywood Bowl, Egyptian Theater and a number of other works of architectural art. HplusF also tackles unique installations and showpieces, one of which involves the now-departed Hummer brand.
What could easily be a luxury apartment in the video game Fallout 3 is in fact HplusF's HummerHaus. Eight identical Hummer body shells wrap around a a steel skeleton to form a living space like no other.
Of course, this is merely a concept, but it's a rather interesting one. Could old vehicles be rehabbed into affordable living spaces? Could the Hummer body have a new lease on life after it was cut from the General Motors family?
Turn Out the Lights: Final Hummer H3 rolls off the line... for Avis
Tue, 25 May 20102010 Hummer H3 - Click above for high-res image gallery
Would the last one out the door please switch off the lights? The long strange trip that has been the Hummer brand is just about over for General Motors. The final ever production H3 rolled out of GM's Shreveport, Louisiana factory on Monday May 24, 2010 on its way to an Avis rental car outlet. As you may recall, GM had actually stopped assembling H3s in mid-2009 as it went through bankruptcy, but it resumed production recently in order to fill an 849 unit special order.
GM tried to sell the Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co., Ltd but the deal ultimately fell apart last February. A subsequent offer from Raser Technologies also went nowhere. Now that production has ceased, 200 of the 900 remaining employees at Shreveport will be laid off by July and the rest of the Hummer staff back at headquarters in Detroit is either leaving or being reassigned.
