VOSA to produce legal Hummer

A stretched Hummer produced in conjunction with VOSA is apparently on the cards and will be tested in the UK in September, according to close sources to The Chauffeur magazine.

The 180 inch H2 is currently being built in the USA and it has been said that VOSA is fully behind the project to make sure the limousine arrives in the country and it’s able to confirm to full COIF and PSV standards.

It is due to arrive in September when it will have to complete three weeks of gruelling testing at Millbrook before it can get the approvals required to obtain the certificates. Our sources have said the H2 will have completely modified brakes, rear doors, seating, higher roof and a heavily re-engineered front end.

The Chauffeur magazine has been exclusively invited to inspect the vehicle at the coachbuilders on the east coast before it is completed and bought into Europe. It is thought the Hummer will have a slightly higher price tag, but the vehicle would legally be able to seat sixteen passengers.
