2012 Hummer H3 Alpha
2012 Hummer H3 Alpha - A 295-bhp 5.3-liter small-block V-8 has found its way into the engine bay of the H3. Anyone who's driven an H3 knew a V-8 was much needed. A 295-bhp 5.3-liter small-block V-8 has found its way into the engine bay of an H3 whose front end has had numerous adjustments. They include a modified frame, a new steering system and beefed-up drivetrain components. The front and rear differential housings are now of rugged cast iron, not aluminum. This purity of off-road worthiness is what gives this H3 the Hummer's Alpha badge, the second model so designated.
The HUMMER H3 was a redesign of sorts. The H1 was massive overkill for the typical US household. The H2 was still overkill but not quite as loudly as its predecessor. The H3 was the toned down version. It was still designed to be impressive and capable but was also a little more like a family vehicle that could actually fit into the driveways and parking garages of the world. Just because the HUMMER H3 was toned down doesn't mean that the designers went boring.
