Default HUMMER GT by GeigerCars.de with 30-Inch Wheels

Gullwing Doors, 556 hp / 409 kW, 225 km/h, 30-Inch Wheels
Wild thing: The HUMMER GT from GeigerCars.de GmbH isn’t only a perfect eyecatcher due to its gullwing doors: The SUV rolls on giant 30-inch wheels and is 225 km/h fast due to its 556 hp / 409 kW supercharger engine. The complete car is available for a retail price starting from 133,900 Euros.

The bodywork of the HUMMER H2 from GeigerCars.de is upgraded with a light blue / orange Heritage special paint and gullwing doors. The front doors can be alternatively opened conventionally or to the top like a guillotine.

The HUMMER GT from GeigerCars.de is a sly one with his engine: The six-litre engine is upgraded by the GeigerCars.de engine experts using a supercharger kit and a stainless steel high performance exhaust system including special manifolds and a specially calibrated ECU.

The modifications increase the peak power to 556 hp / 409 kW while the maximum torque is increased to 765 Nm. The road performances are excellent: The tuned SUV only takes 7.9 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h. Maximum speed is about 225 km/h.

GeigerCars.de also modified the H2 suspension to be able to safely control these high speeds. The most obvious conversion is the fitting of chromed and forged GeigerCars.de wheels in 10Jx30 dimension all around. Pirelli contributed the matching high performance street tire with the Scorpion Zero in 315/30 R 30 size. This set of wheels with tires is offered for a retail price of 28,000 Euros. Of course GeigerCars.de also offers many other wheel/tire combinations in 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 inches diameter.

GeigerCars.de also lowers the HUMMER H2 by about 100 millimeters and installs sport anti-sway bars for reduced silt tilt at fast cornering.

The GeigerCars.de high performance brake system with 380 millimeter perforated and vented discs and 8-pot fixed calipers on the front axle provides enormous deceleration performance and resistance. The sport brake system costs 10,268 Euros.

The cockpit of the GeigerCars.de HUMMER GT fascinates with Carbondesign applications, color-coded instruments and a multimedia system including a navigation system, DVD player, TV receiver and two LCD-screens which are integrated in the dashboard and a specially designed roof console.

Will this craptastic trend ever die????

There is something SOOOOOO wrong with a Hummer on 30's dressed in a classic Ford GT40 Gulf racing paint scheme.

I won't even get into the doors.


uh-oh....I just threw up a little in my mouth.

The thing that annoys me most about the 30" wheels is how narrow the tires are. Really does look like wagon wheels

Nicely said. I just dont get it really. 30in rims with rubber band tires on a HUMMER never made sense to me. The only mods I like on HUMMERS are those that have off road mods. Mods that stay true to what the truck is about (even if it is less capable than the original HUMMER).


I dont mind the supercharger though.
