Hummer H2 Bomber GeigerCars has been released.
Designed to be the ultimate off-road vehicle, the Bomber features Mattracks 88M1-A1 rubber tracks (8.5" x 20" wheels with 305/60 tires are standard). Measuring 150cm (59.1") long and 40cm (15.7") wide, the tracks "guarantee unrivalled traction on virtually any type of terrain, whether the vehicle is needed for agriculture, emergency services or expedition."
The Geiger Hummer H2 Bomber is powered by 6.2-liter V8 engine developing 398 bhp at 5,700 rpm and 574 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. The power of the Geiger Hummer H2 Bomber is sent to the tracks via six-speed automatic gearbox.
The car also features a sunroof and a navigation system with a DVD-drive from Kenwood, a roof monitor with headphones and a rear view camera with a monitor in the rear view mirror. GeigerCars could also install an LPG Autogas system with 155 litre fuel tank and several other enhancements that will increase the fun factor and please any customer.
The exterior of the Hummer H2 Bomber GeigerCars comes in matte silver, has extra headlights on the roof and special decals “borrowed” from the military.
Inside you can find a Kenwood DVD player with a great nav system, a monitor for the rear seats and a panoramic roof.

Press Release
Hummer H2 "Bomber"
Armed for any conditions: Hummer with Mattracks rubber tracks
In its regular trim, the Hummer H2 not only looks fantastic, but also brings with it a real degree of off-road capabilities. But this can go much further, as GeigerCars.de have proved with the "H2 Bomber" on rubber tracks.
In contrast to the regular wheels with their 8.5" x 20" rims encompassing 305/60 tyres, the specialists from Munich have equipped their project SUV with a Mattracks 88M1-A1 rubber tracks at each wheel. Those massive structures, 40cm wide and 150cm long, guarantee unrivalled traction on virtually any type of terrain, whether the vehicle is needed for agriculture, emergency services or expedition. Even extreme gradients are handled without a sweat, not least thanks to the powerful 8 cylinders under the bonnet which gives you 398 bhp and 574 Nm of torque.
How well the GeigerCars.de Hummer acquits itself on the rubber tracks can be left to Autobild editor Wolfgang Blaube to experience: He explored to legendary Nordschleife of the Nürburgring in the depths of winter with the circuit covered in snow and was completely captured by the "new dimension of fun" after just a few kilometres.
Also in the interior of the GeigerCars.de "Bomber", finished in a matte silver, with extra headlights on the roof and the lettering printed in an army style, the fun factor is not missed out: The luxury design fulfils every wish and a sunroof is every bit a part of the Hummer project as the navigation system with a DVD drive from Kenwood, the roof monitor with headphones or the rear-view camera including a monitor in the rear-view mirror. If requested, the Geigercars team can of course equip each Hummer model with an economical LPG autogas system and other extras.
If you're on the lookout for an off-road master, the H2 is definitely the right choice. With a Hummer equipped with rubber tracks, no terrain remains inaccessible.

Prince of Wales' Aston Martin DB6 Volante Pistons Melted into Cufflinks for Charity
Posted by haho at 10:00 PM
PRINCE'S ASTON TO RAISE VITAL FUNDS FOR TRUST
- Exclusive cufflinks created from original aluminium engine pistons
- All profits from sale to benefit youth charity, The Prince's Trust
His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales' prized Aston Martin DB6 Volante is now helping raise funds for The Prince's Trust, thanks to a collaboration with specialist sculptor of provenance metals, TMB ArtMetal.
TMB has created 200 pairs of cufflinks, in two designs, formed from the car's original aluminium engine pistons, which are now available to buy, with all profits going to youth charity, The Prince's Trust.
Martina Milburn, chief executive of The Prince's Trust, said: "With these proceeds, we will be able to help more young people into jobs across the UK. Young people have been hit hardest in the recession, so it's now more important than ever to give them the skills and confidence they need to find work."

The project also strikes a chord with The Prince of Wales' dedication to the environment. The six donor pistons became available when his DB6 was first converted to run on biofuel and their subsequent transformation into exclusive accessories is an unusual example of recycling components that would otherwise have been thrown away.
Christopher Bennett managing director of TMB and originator of the idea, said: "These cufflinks are quintessential conversation pieces, with each pair directly benefiting The Prince's Trust. When I heard about the possibility of creating such future heirlooms from The Prince's Aston, the project was irresistible!"
TMB's two, limited-edition cufflink designs have both been made into 100 pairs, each pair formed from aluminium piston and finished with 18ct gold. One edition is an exact, miniature sculpture of the DB6 Volante, whilst the other replicates the car's iconic wheel ‘spinners' - the quick-release fixing that secures its wheels.
Each is presented in a high-quality presentation case, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
The cufflinks are only available direct from TMB ArtMetal, priced £995.00.
