2008 H3 Alpha Series
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
The Hummer is quickly becoming a popular and sought after vehicle. The largeness of the vehicle is what attracts people to it. Who cares about how much gas you’ll have to put into it. Just being able to dominate the roads is what everyone is looking for. Well now everyone will be happy to hear that General Motors is coming out with the Hummer H3 Alpha. This Hummer will be coming out in the 2008 model year and will be the second vehicle in the exclusive Alpha series.
The new Hummer H3 Alpha will be equipped with a V-8 engine, increased by one-third towing capacity and will have unique exterior and interior features. The vehicle now sports a 5.3-liter V8 engine delivering a maximum of 295 hp and 317 lb-ft (438 Nm) of torque, which is enough for towing a 6,000 pounds boat without putting to much strain on drivetrain. Highway cruising will also be effortless, since the new Hummer H3 Alpha is really agile, taking only eight seconds to accelerate from zero to 60 mph.
The engine is mated to Hydra-Matic 4L60 electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission with flat-towing enabled. To make the engine more stable on sloppy surfaces, GM’s engineers have provided it with a special oil pan that ensures constant oil pressure.
The new Hummer H3 Alpha is able to pass 24-inch streams at a 5-mph pace, climb 16-inch vertical steps and rocks and feels pretty much at home while driving through rough terrain thanks to its 9.1-inch ground clearance and maximum brakeover angle of 25 degrees (when fit with 33-inch tires) maximum approach angle of 39 degrees and maximum departure angle of 37 degrees.
