Three new GM designers, David Rojas, Min Young Kang and Robert Jablonski (College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Mich graduates) came up with the new HUMMER design dubbed the HUMMER HX Concept. The concept HUMMER is scheduled to make its debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.
The design of the HUMMER HX Concept was under the guidance of Carl Zipfel, an ex-professional motocross racer and director of the HUMMER design studio to help ensure designs were true to the HUMMER brand.
It took 3 months for the designers to work on the new HUMMER concept and each designer had the opportunity to present their clay models to Bob Lutz, GM vice chairman and Ed Welburn, who chose which design would ultimately become the HX concept.
From the press release, the HUMMER is in its final concept form where the E-85 FlexFuel capable HUMMER HX embodies the off road spirit of HUMMER in a fully customizable package. Among the features include an open-air driving experience via a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger and a modular, removable rear roof assembly enabling a quick conversion from closed vehicle to open vehicle SUT.
Other features include a slant back assembly and removable doors and fender flairs.
