Love the H3 Alpha SUV but don’t dig the lack of power? Well you’re in luck. For 2008, General Motors is equipping the 2008 version of their popular H3 Alpha SUV with a V-8 engine. That means a new 5.3-liter, small-block V-8 that will yield 300 horsepower and 320 foot-pounds of torque at 4,000 rpm.
GM’s unleashing the Hummer H3 Alpha at the 2007 New York Auto Show. The Hummer H3 Alpha is a reworking of the H3, and is supposed to make the latest Hummer line faster and more powerful. Here’s Inside Line‘s article on the H3 Alpha’s debut:
GM released few details about its “top dog” H3 Alpha on Tuesday, noting only that it will be equipped with a 295-hp V8 and have Hummer’s “trademark off-road capability.” In comparison, the 2007 Hummer H3 is equipped with a 3.7-liter inline-5 engine that makes 242 hp. It returns 15 mpg in city driving and 19 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA. Hummer has not yet released fuel economy numbers on the H3 Alpha, but they should be of considerable interest.
