We always say that Hoonigan doesn't have enough weird trucks and YouTube videos. It's total bull that Ken Block doesn't do this all day long. And because the Hoonitruck, a nitrous-powered 1977 F-150, is getting a little old, we thought we'd spice thing up with a Hummer.
Yes, a Hummer, which is another example of vehicle people would never expect to see drifting. Not only is it too wide for most tracks, but you would also need a lot of power to get it going.

Those issues don't apply in the digital work, so 3D artist Rostislav Prokop, the widebody kit rendering master, just came up with the Goods. He calls this the "DRIFT_ALPHA_H1," and the name pretty much says it all. Where do we even begin?

Probably the first thing that strikes you is the custom turbo setup. That big snail conch is sitting right over the hood and after it's done with the exhaust gasses, they get blown over the top though some custom pipes. This kind of reminds us of the Russian RS7 with a similar setup.

Anyway, some parts have been stripped to make it lighter, including the front bumper, which has been replaced by red scaffolding supporting a chin splitter. All four fenders have been flared out for some extra rubber, while the suspension sits extra low. The rear setup looks ready to set a land speed record too, all streamlined like that. And where do you even buy a diffuser wide enough for a Hummer? Probably at a truck store.

We suspect Arnold might give something like this the thumbs up, but Greta might not appreciate what the behemoth does to the environment, especially if it's a diesel. Yes, we have seen drift trucks with diesel engines. It can work, though probably not with the one the H1 has.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
