Its a Hummer, but not really a Hummer. Just to add to the confusion..

@ Redinetech and Mr. Zizzle - I would 100% have to agree with you guys. I have been calling it the "The Podium Jump Jinx" for the last couple years, and I'm not superstitious.

I wonder if RG bought the rights to hummer? Just thinking out loud.

The car looks like its based off the hummer hx concept car. In fact it's all over YouTube as well. It looks identical

In the debate of the podium jump, well I don't think it does anything to cause damage to the truck but it seems to have become a staple and fan favorite at Dakar. Take a look at the only shot of the hummer in this official Dakar teaser!

Thank you TOG for the HST Photo on the PlanetRobby header, this vehicle should out perform the old Hummer in every way except for maybe the fast straights.

HST is what the Hummer H3 would look like if it was still in production and RGM assisted GM with the design. Looking at this vehicle I hope a larger company sees how talented RGM is and would want to form a financial relationship.

Robby is the Lone Ranger & Walch is Tonto, soo not jumping would be like the Lone Ranger not rearing up and say Hi HO Silver.
