The original Hummer H1 Military is probably one of the toughest horses on the market, but that doesn't stop the Mil-Spec automaker team from pushing its limits. The car designers have taken this badass military vehicle past perfection by bringing out their first production called “Launch Edition”. MSA creates redesigned vehicles that embrace a new era of adventure through exclusive utility and performance. They offer a distinct aesthetic that sets their work apart from the competition. The team focuses on integrating relevant technologies and products into a package that improves proven platforms.
Setting new standards with the Hummer H1 Military
Founded with the vision of developing the perfect truck, Mil-Spec Automotive produced a series of running prototypes based on the proven HMMWV-Hummer H1 military. With this philosophy, this edition is handcrafted and assembled from the ground up by a team of specialists with numerous improvements to reimagine it for the most luxurious off-road adventure ever.
The end result is a vehicle with monstrous capabilities. The Hummer is equipped with a hand-built 6.6-liter LBZ V8 turbodiesel engine with a displacement of 6.6 liters. This can achieve a torque of 1,355 Newton meters. Combine this engine with a sturdy suspension and Nitto Ridge all-weather tires, and you've got the cast for an extremely capable off-roader.
However, its performance does not allow comfort and aesthetics to come second. For this reason, the interior is made of aluminum and houses intelligent controls for an improved driver experience and interaction.
Execution by design
Design at MSA is very important to the execution of their product. For this reason, the ability to start with a blank work surface represents a great opportunity in the automotive context. The exterior design of the Hummer H1 Military is function-oriented and iconic. The exterior treatments are only intended to improve the presence and functionality of the vehicle. The team worked tirelessly to find the ultimate pose, captured in the designer's sketches.
The interior features marine-grade leather, water-resistant gray canvas, paracord safety handles, a JL Audio premium sound system and LED interior lighting. A three-layer insulation system installed in each of these SUVs also ensures a smoother ride by keeping road noise and ambient noise to a minimum. The automaker also offers a variety of other custom options to tailor the vehicle to your liking, such as long-travel suspension and 6 Wilwood brake band pistons.
The general look of the Hummer H1 Military features a dark palette of black and gray, with the chassis painted in a similar shade of metallic gray with black accents and low gloss. Finally, the frame and components are powdered with a Kevlar coating to ensure durability against harsh weather conditions.
Attention to detail
Mil-Spec Automotive is an independent company that does not work with AM General or General Motors Corporation. This also means that the #001 Hummer H1 Military has been completely redesigned by the team to be ready to hit the streets without the various problems such as casting defects and leaky tires associated with its predecessor.
When it comes to going off the rails, few things come close to the original Hummer H1 Military. To be honest, the SUV is one of the best vehicles in its class ever on the market. It needs virtually no improvements, but that hasn't stopped the folks at Mil-Spec Auto from giving it a new try with their version.
