Tremble, Musk: GMC Hummer EV will be the next 'antiTesla'

A new monster has been born: the GMC Hummer EV, an electric beast in the form of a 'pick up' with an estimated 1,000 horsepower that will cost around 100,000 euros, will be a very tough enemy for

Elon Musk's

, is still there in embryonic stage.

The GMC Hummer will hit the market

and, in fact, it can already be reserved on the General Motors GMC brand website for just $ 100.

Its final price will start at $ 112,000, about 95,000 euros, a rate not too far from that of the gasoline Hummer H2 and at the level of the most expensive Cadillac Escalade on the market in the United States.

Pposteriormente will arrive a version 'SUV' that will lower the bill to 80,000 dollars (68,000 euros).

The GMC Hummer EV will move with an agility unbecoming of a mastodon thanks to its

(called Ultium by GMC), which will add more than 1,000 CV of power -the manufacturer speaks still of estimated figures-.

With such physical waste,

But also, he will be gifted when it comes to off-road weapons: it will have pneumatic suspensions with the

, it will have four-wheel steering (CrabWalk, crab mode ) to move laterally at very low speed, the rear axle and even the two axles can be locked (not by differential, but by electronic torque distribution) and fit Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT off-road tires, which can be

.

As for its battery, GMC has not provided the data of its capacity, (we know that it will be above

, for example), but it has an estimate of its autonomy.

According to the American manufacturer, the Hummer EV will be able to travel more than

, a more than estimable figure if we take into account that the car will safely go above two tons, long.

In addition, it can be charged at very high powers, since it supports up to 350 kW that would allow it to recover, in just 10 minutes, enough energy to travel an additional 100 kilometers.

Cameras for everything

Also forget about the ruggedness of the classic Hummer, born with military DNA.

The GMC Hummer will be, in addition to a prodigy in the field, a

.

For example, it will have a system of up to 18 external cameras called

that will allow the driver to control the entire environment.

They will be distributed throughout the bottom of the car (which, by the way, are reinforced), so that any obstacle that covers its enormous body will be in our sight.

Likewise, it will have a

(Super Cruise) capable not only of directing the vehicle, but even of changing lanes on the highway autonomously when the maneuver is safe.

As is traditional in all manufacturers,

and that will also happen with the Hummer EV.

The Edition 1 will have special finishes and systems, such as a Launch Control that allows you to

the Hummer (from 0 to 100 in three seconds!);

a driving mode selector to

(plus a Terrain program for off road), the detachable panoramic glass Infinity Roof, the first application of this element in a pickup ...

Moon wink

If we go inside we will find two huge

(the first for the instrument

and the second for the center console) and a selection of premium materials and, as regards the box It will have an electric separating rear window and a motorized cover to cover the load (there is another trunk in front, by the way).

A quick look at the whole of the car transports us to the classic Hummer in terms of their 'square' proportions and their size XXL, but also to the future, especially when we see its

(with the six classic columns of the Hummer) that includes animations in the headlights for recharging tasks.

But there are some more curious details.

The unit shown for the presentation featured a

(a 'copy' of Tesla's relationship with space by Elon Musk's Space X company?).

The colors of the GMC Hummer EV are inspired by the landscape of our satellite and inside there are more mentions of it.

For example, the floor mats are engraved with Neil Armstrong's footprint and the cover that covers the front speakers is decorated with a map of the Sea of ​​Tranquility, where Apollo XI landed in 1969.
