The good folks over at RDB LA in California recently offered a few samples of custom luxury – a track-loving Ferrari SF90, a widebody Lambo Urus Performante mall crawler, and even a Hummer EV pickup truck from GMC. Wait, what?
That's right, between Ferrari, Lamborghini, Brabus Gs, Porsches, Range Rovers, and frozen Maybachs, they also had time for a complete aftermarket makeover of a white GMC Hummer EV. Chronologically a successor of the highly acclaimed or immensely despised (depending on your POV) Hummer H1, H2, and H3, the GMC Hummer EV is now a reinvented pickup truck with battery power tucked inside the heavy-duty chassis.
Although unsolicited, this revival has garnered a lot of polarizing opinions – some praise the audacity of the reinvention for the EV age, others think it's just another colossus that's only here to make people pony up top dollar, not save Earth. Irrespective of the opinion, it's clear the GMC Hummer EV – especially the Edition 1 model with 1,000 horsepower – is a show of force from General Motors in the field of full-size pickup trucks where it brawls with the Rivian R1T and the Ford F-150 Lightning. As such, no one would dare assume this 10k-pound behemoth doesn't stand out in every crowd, right?
Well, as it turns out, the tri-motor AWD model could still use some enhancements from across the aftermarket realm. No worries, the wild folks over at RDB LA know what they are doing – and also had a little help from partners like Brixton Forged, for example. Transitioning from white-and-black with silver-and-black alloy wheels, this GMC Hummer EV has larger wheels and tires – Brixton's BX02-M finished in Fine Texture Satin Black and massive all-terrain tires.
It's also fully wrapped, and the color change is done with morphing shades under different lighting conditions. By the way, the bracket in the back fitting the fifth wheel is a custom-made rig, and of course, the gang had a lot of fun with the Hummer EV doing Carb Walks whenever and wherever possible. Of course, that wasn't what got Vik into trouble with the police – it was the immense power and the way it launched instead.
Of course, this is not the craziest custom build we can find online these days. Maybe you would rather have an 800-hp Brabus Mercedes-AMG G 63 instead? Not one of the 'ordinary' models, though – but rather the one done by Road Show International, all dressed in Satin White Pearl on the outside and packing a Cherry and carbon fiber interior – plus a slew of RS Edition goodies from matching 24-inch Forgiato wheels to matching the interior in a stunning contrasting manner to the white exterior.
