Every couple of years, the world re-discovers how awesome the Hummer was, the original one, not the watered-down versions that followed. We're living in such times right now, and while many young collectors are snapping up H1s, digital artists find ways to reimagine the beast.
Such is the case with Rostislav Prokop, a Czech who likes to think outside the box and also happens to own a nice Galant. He's always had an affinity for the Hoonigan brand and how they like to do things, but what he's done with the Hummer defies even the auto shop's endless creativity.
A drift-ready H1 was put together from the ground up, featuring a much lower suspension system and lots of downforce-inducing wings. You would imagine a heavy army truck would never be able to go sideways, but with enough money, even something like this is possible.
That red scaffolding that holds much of the front end together is carried over to another recent project, the Wrangler hot rod. Much of its bodywork has been stripped off, which isn't unusual for a Jeep. However, the scaffolding that's been added is because it's not used to protect you in an off-road scenario, but to add stiffness and cover whatever engine resides at the front.
The wedge at the front and the candy red wheels kind of remind us of the Lamborghini Espada rat rod, which is probably an intentional aesthetic choice. Luck would have it that the custom Raging Bull was put together at Danton Kustoms, which made a real Jeep rat rod. The two digitally created monsters have only ever met in the video below. And while they don't engage in actual drifting, the mere sight of them is enough to make you want them.
