A Toy Like No Other



Hummer H3 converted into life-sized remote control car

Hummer H3 remote controlled car

"... we don’t stop playing because we get old;
we get old because we stop playing!"

Hummer has converted the right-hand drive H3 into the ultimate gadget for grown ups – a one-off life-sized remote controlled car that definitely won’t be available in your local toy shop.

The hardy on/off road vehicle has been converted to make life a little less dull – those lucky enough to have a play, will experience the unrivalled agility and off-road capability of the new H3 from the palm of their hand.

Engineer Dr James Brighton from Cranfield University in the UK transformed the Hummer H3 into a remote controlled vehicle to provide the ultimate boy’s toy: "Converting the Hummer H3 into the super-sized remote control car took a month to complete but we’ve had lots of fun in the process."

"The results are clear – all controllers will be amazed by the handling ability – the best any radio controlled vehicle has had to date. The vehicle is capable of climbing a 407 mm vertical wall, traversing a 40% side slope and operating in up to 610 mm of water – imagine the fun."

Steve Catlin from Hummer in the UK comments: “Hummer is like no other – as the ultimate 'workhorse' it is built for action and can handle off-roading with ease but also has a unique, iconic style."

"What better way to show off the definitive big boy’s toy than converting the Hummer H3 into a remote controlled car?"
