Today the Germans at Geiger Cars, already known for some outlandish Hummer creations, have unleashed the H3 V8 Kompressor on an unsuspecting world.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPA2dYf7b2YyJY7x7UbL588HfWqYyH9BufCp0rtIcklMRiDpWmHth_I-avky5FeS60vuO_TtxjdoTKNglzFjCF-Z7f2_FV7h5MBy-MFZDz0fILZ4CObIY2rfiPi8xRq-v0wkxHsEWg960_/s1600-h/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_005-1231-950x673.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287405649677394226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPA2dYf7b2YyJY7x7UbL588HfWqYyH9BufCp0rtIcklMRiDpWmHth_I-avky5FeS60vuO_TtxjdoTKNglzFjCF-Z7f2_FV7h5MBy-MFZDz0fILZ4CObIY2rfiPi8xRq-v0wkxHsEWg960_/s400/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_005-1231-950x673.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />Appearance modifications are reminiscent of last year's H3 GT, featuring a full body kit and a rear spare delete to offer a cleaner profile. Inside ample use of carbon fiber trim makes light of the H3's porky poundage while also offering a pleasing aesthetic.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrqj1jLrdrFAgt7_e5W69dWPoByUCgUhvQSLmi5HQHRWeW8ahcRG7dJSJ01ZT1sO_RCTwyEscxBcrWf0qLTH8YAbsslarWbArePtF40VnkMTCLTIQEfrkHct0wRJB9IzNRA2YjyVQc5glk/s1600-h/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_006-1231-950x673.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287405276238305010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrqj1jLrdrFAgt7_e5W69dWPoByUCgUhvQSLmi5HQHRWeW8ahcRG7dJSJ01ZT1sO_RCTwyEscxBcrWf0qLTH8YAbsslarWbArePtF40VnkMTCLTIQEfrkHct0wRJB9IzNRA2YjyVQc5glk/s400/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_006-1231-950x673.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />Perhaps the lust for excitement then is what motivated Geiger's decision to drop in a supercharged 5.3L V8 generating 423hp (316kW) and 502lb-ft (680Nm) of torque. The power upgrade is enough to sling the diminutive behemoth to 60mph (96km/h) in 7 seconds from a standing start, and carry it on to a homicidal top speed of 148mph (238km/h). To get the beast back down to safer speeds safely, Geiger does equip the H3 V8 with a set of six-piston 380x35mm disc brakes. A suspension package improves handling at speed, and 22x10in wheels shod in 305/40 Continental Cross Contact tires offer lots of grip.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLWTAys5cyYO34HJ5kRlv1j5zV5fZC-X9CQWg-qC-n8SH93oGVf1QlL47FAVIY82oIuhdg9aoVuIE0CcHUa3j8DxTaszcHwF7DZXFz2fqEwxMmCyDFo05BRv4mlWQAR6YAWiageSn88_eE/s1600-h/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_007-1231-950x673.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287405178316138322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLWTAys5cyYO34HJ5kRlv1j5zV5fZC-X9CQWg-qC-n8SH93oGVf1QlL47FAVIY82oIuhdg9aoVuIE0CcHUa3j8DxTaszcHwF7DZXFz2fqEwxMmCyDFo05BRv4mlWQAR6YAWiageSn88_eE/s400/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_007-1231-950x673.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />Though many might decry this modification as a completely counter-productive neutering of what is in reality a decent off-road SUV, it may actually be a more honest interpretation of its actual usage: as a 'look at me' attention-demanding street vehicle for ferrying kids and grabbing groceries in obscene, over-the-top style.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitd-16MBuKs4VTWKrc1KbGb9gW7UTff1ysjBJRlmmG5aD-1cDGKoj75t-aVRfu2Z1c2ueT_2YelB1RqtfH1shuxLesQYkMeYvSyr90ZonaO6EV91NPnNAAPBP90NWuzH_sSOD5dfXvy6k9/s1600-h/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_008-1231-950x673.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287405032901869298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitd-16MBuKs4VTWKrc1KbGb9gW7UTff1ysjBJRlmmG5aD-1cDGKoj75t-aVRfu2Z1c2ueT_2YelB1RqtfH1shuxLesQYkMeYvSyr90ZonaO6EV91NPnNAAPBP90NWuzH_sSOD5dfXvy6k9/s400/geiger_hummer_h3_v8_kompressor_008-1231-950x673.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />The 'baby Hummer' is just a shade under 4,700lbs (2,131kg) in stock form, its 3.7L five-cylinder delivering yawn-inspiring performance with just 239hp (178kW) and 241lb-ft (327Nm) of torque on tap, though it ekes out a 14/18mpg city/highway rating.
