 While GM tries to find a buyer for its ailing SUV brand, Hummer is bringing a trio of concepts to SEMA based on its new V-8 powered H3 Alpha and HT3 Alpha models. First, based on the H3T Alpha, is the Weekend Warrior concept. It includes several GM Performance parts that give its 5.3L, 300-hp V-8 an additional 70 hp including LS2 cylinder heads, a higher-lift camshaft, and a 3.5-in. exhaust system. For truly Baja-worthy handling, the Weekend Warrior also receives several suspension components including as Light Racing JounceShocks, high-performance brakes from DBA, and 35-in.-tall tires on special matte-black 20-in. wheels from Hummer's own accessory catalog. Since no SEMA showcar is complete without a major dose of bling, the H3T Weekend Warrior comes with custom Baja Orange Metallic paint, a body-color upper grille, and custom hood graphics. In addition, the lower grille, side mirrors, door handles, and fuel door all sport a satin-metal finish, and off-road lamps are mounted on the grille and roof. Most of these upgrades are standard Hummer accessories; however, the black-leather-trimmed cabin with orange stitching and carbon-fiber instrument panel accents are not.
The second concept, the H3 X Concept, is described by Hummer as "a proposal for the ultimate H3 X," taking a standard off-road oriented H3 X Alpha and sprucing it up with unique 18-in. wheels and 35-in.-tall tires, black chrome finish on its shiny bits (similar to the recent Black Chrome Edition H2), and body-color rear bumper extensions. Inside, the H3 X Concept includes black leather trim with orange stitching on the armrests and shift knob, along with custom floormats and a Hummer accessory headrest DVD entertainment system. Power remains unchanged, but the showcar sports Canyon Metallic paint from PPG.
The third -- and final -- hauler to grace Hummer's SEMA stand is another H3 Alpha, this one developed by the staff of Four Wheeler magazine. Dubbed Project Trailhugger, this H3 is modified for increased off-road capability while maintaining reasonable comfort and fuel economy and features a raft of hard-core accessories, including nitrogen-charged Rod Hall Racing piggyback reservoir-type performance shocks, flat-black GT Simulock 16-in. wheels, a remote perimeter lighting system, and a winch. For a unique appearance, the Trailhugger is also "de-glossed," meaning the H3's chrome trim is painted flat black and its paint is modified with a special flattening agent
