The Hummer H2 has always been a tank. But while sturdy and stiff as if it could take a shelling or two, it hasn’t really impressed me engineering-wise since I really don’t see the point in giving it that much bulk and never bother injecting steroids in the power department. Not necessarily for off-roading in my book.
Yet GM decided to give the H2 another go with this Safari version. Designed to be an outdoorsman’s tank, the olive green exterior’s designed to make it blend with the outdoors. It’s even got a retractable canvas roof panel to give you instant access to the great outdoor breeze. It sports 20-inch wheels with 35-inch off road tires. Great for the outdoors?
I’m not quite sure. For me, it still lacks the power of a great outdoor machine. It sports the 6.2L V8 engine dishing our nearly 400 horses. Quite a lot but that’s not close to what a Land Rover Range Rover can get from a supercharged 4.2L engine (450 hp). Still, if you’re looking for a swanky tank, you might consider this.
