GMC Hummer EV review: watch the 1,000bhp EV put through its paces

It boasts many horsepowers. And much weight. And the ability to CRAB WALK. Watch the TG review here

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 3.0secs, 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... about 4,100kg, equivalent to nine Caterham 170Rs.
