The incredible Hummer

The incredible Hummer - News image

17 October 2007

Welcome to Auto Trader’s Videos of the Week. Over the past seven days, we’ve brought you some classic motoring clips from the web, from the funny to the plain unbelievable.

Adrian Hearn rounds up the footage you loved the most.

The incredible Hummer

“It’s not a car, it’s not a truck, it’s not another 4x4 – it’s a Hummer.”

Last week we told readers about the Geiger Hummer H3, a tuned off-roader with racing stripes and a top speed of 124mph – not bad for a 2.4 tonne military brute.

The Hummer was originally designed for US forces to go absolutely anywhere, to be in a universe of its own and be at its most beautiful when the terrain is at its toughest.

Environmentalists criticise the Hummer for its horrendous fuel economy and high carbon emissions.

But you can’t doubt the Hummer’s insane off-road ability. Watch it go now:

 

The BMW M3 CSL from Look at the Wheels on That

The third generation BMW M3 was the benchmark sports coupe offering breathtaking performance and every day usability.

But then BMW made it meaner, ripping out any luxuries to create the BMW M3 CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight).

The result is 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

But if you have a racing license, BMW will remove the limiter, giving the raucous motor a top speed of 180mph.

Vijay Pattni ran out of superlatives describing the BMW M3 CSL in the weekly Look at the Wheels on That column – watch it in action to see just how good it is.

 

The world’s luckiest Kangaroo? from Weird World of Wheels

Break-neck speeds, ultra-competitive drivers and tight corners - driving a V8 supercar in the Australian championship is hard enough.

Now stick a kangaroo on the track and see what happens.
