GMC Hummer EV Review: 1000 BHP Cybertruck Rival Tested

The new GMC Hummer EV is not subtle. The $110k Edition 1 model we borrowed for an epic roadtrip in America had three motors – two at the back, one at the front – producing 1,000bhp and 1,200lb ft of torque. It could do 0–62mph in , which is basically as quick as a Ferrari 296 GTB. And that’s not the scary bit. It has a claimed range of 329 miles, which is pretty good, but only because it has a huge 205kWh battery – that’s the same as six Honda es, and it weighs... wait for it... about 4,100kg, equivalent to nine Caterham 170Rs....
