"An event like 'SOS at the Desert' adds even more spice to the fun that HUMMER enthusiasts experience. We are delighted to link up with SOS and we expect a great turnout considering this is the first time that the trio will perform in the Middle East," said David Venticich, Marketing Director for General Motors Middle East Operations.
Sixty privileged HUMMER owners will be provided with free tickets and exclusive access to the HUMMER VVIP tent courtesy of the HUMMER HUB, an outdoor activities club, formed for and managed by HUMMER owners.
While everyone will head towards the venue in busses, all HUMMER owners have the privilege of driving to the party, where an exclusive parking site has been reserved for their vehicles. The HUMMER cars will feel right at home on the golden sand dunes of the UAE's desert.
HUMMER is an iconic brand with a fan base that continues to grow thanks to its unconventional power and strength, which allows it to go almost anywhere. After lights-out, HUMMER owners who attend the event can enjoy the rest of their night camping, instead of driving back to the city.
2008 HUMMER H3
The HUMMER H3 packs uncompromising HUMMER style and capability into its midsize dimensions. Compared to the H2, the H3 is 429mm shorter in length, 152mm shorter in height and 165mm narrower. Roughly the same length as a midsize family sedan, H3 comfortably navigates city traffic and delivers HUMMER's trademark crawling and climbing capability.
The HUMMER H3 carries over the Vortec 3.7-litre powerplant. This 3.7-litre inline five-cylinder unit offers an excellent combination of power and efficiency, delivering 255 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 367 Nm of torque at 4800 rpm.
2008 HUMMER H2
The iconic HUMMER H2 enters 2008 with a raft of changes, delivering a more refined interior that combines luxury with HUMMER's legendary ruggedness; enhanced safety features and a more powerful engine that is coupled with a new, six-speed automatic transmission. The new powertrain combination improves efficiency when compared with previous models.
The new powertrain combination consists of a 6.2-litre all-aluminum small-block V8 engine, rated at 393 horsepower (net) at 5700 rpm and 563 Nm of torque (net) at 4300 - an increase of about 20 percent over the previous engine - and a Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission. Performance-optimizing engine technologies, such as variable valve timing, and the six-speed's wide gear ratios, including a "tall" overdrive gear, enable the improved performance and efficiency over previous models.
