Guess what is the toughest new car on the market?

In the United States, nearly half of the population is overweight. And we can imagine that this also applies to the American fleet. After all, that largely consists of oversized pick-ups and SUVs, such as the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Suburban, next to which a full-size Range Rover looks like a Toyota Aygo.

What does an average European car weigh?

If we look at an average European car - a Volkswagen Polo or Golf for example - then it weighs between 1000 and 1500 kilos. A Range Rover exceeds that with more than 2300 kilos and such an American Chevrolet Suburban comes out at more than 2700 kilos.

GMC Hummer EV is the heaviest car on the market

But we are not there yet. The all-new GMC Hummer EV - a massive electric pickup, due to be released later this year - beats all the cars on the market by a truly absurd weight. If you put it on the weighbridge, you will fall backwards when you see the result: 4103 kilos!

200 kWh battery pack, impressive range

This is partly due to its size - it is 5.5 meters long, 2.2 meters wide and 2.0 meters high - but mainly due to its battery, which is 200 kWh. In comparison, a Porsche Taycan Turbo comes to 93.4 kWh and a Ford Mustang Mach-E to 98.7 kWh. With its impressive battery pack, the GMC Hummer EV goes about 560 kilometers.

Three electric motors with 15,592 Nm of torque

Three electric motors with a combined power of 1014 hp and 15,592 Nm (!) Torque provide the drive. The heavy-duty pick-up thus goes from a standstill to 96 km / h (60 mph) in 3 seconds. The launch control system is called insufferably American: Watts to Freedom.
