Among the latest releases of the family Technic of LEGO we find the Land Rover Defender 90 , to the Jeep Wrangler (Rubicon in its variant), to the Dodge Charger ‘Fast & Furious’ or the Lamborghini Sián . But soon a new cash could be added: the huge electric Hummer .

At the moment, it is a project presented at LEGO Ideas , the initiative of the famous Danish brand of construction toys that opens the door for user-developed sets to become reality.

For LEGO to evaluate it as a marketable model it needs to get 10,000 votes in two years. And it is not going wrong, since it has 970 at the time this article is written: this figure has been harvested in about two months, when there is a whole year to spare to reach 1,000.

With 2,200 pieces and remote control

This My Own Creation (MOC) that can become part of the LEGO Technic catalog is signed by user Technic-Al (Alain B) . And it is a very successful reproduction of the superlative zero-emission behemoth Hummer EV , which is resurrected as electric and will begin production in the Fall in its Edition 1 variant.

The expectation generated by this immense electric up to 1,000 CV is beyond doubt, since the reserves of this Edition 1 were exhausted in just minutes. So its creator has chosen to turn it into a LEGO Technic set , which is fully functional and remotely controlled .

This LEGO brick-based electric Hummer translates the aesthetics of GMC’s new behemoth in its pick-up variant. Thus, we find a front in which the characteristic line of optics present in this model dominates , in addition to the powerful fenders, the rear box or the gigantic off-road tires.

There is also no lack of details in the cabin, with the seats imitating the design of the original or several flat pieces that seek to materialize the screens that dominate the interior of this electric SUV (instrumentation and multimedia display).

In total, the model consists of 2,200 pieces and has already undergone modifications, for example removable ceiling panels have been added , for which it has resorted to transparent pieces as if they were made of glass. “I have not found a better solution to design them”, details its creator.

Beyond the design, this LEGO Technic electric Hummer proposal is equipped with four electric motors, one per wheel , thus being all-wheel drive. In addition, the four wheels are directional , as is also the case in the real model and that allow you to boast of the advanced ‘crab mode’ function that we have already seen on video .

In the same way, the adjustable suspension is present , which in this model raises the body several millimeters based on a set of toothed wheels that raise the shock absorbers. Remember that the “flesh and blood” Hummer EV offers up to three ground clearance settings , ranging from 257mm (Standard) to 404mm for Extract Mode.

In addition, its four doors open, and the bonnet and rear area are also openable.

In fact, the tailgate reproduces the GMC MultiPro system with which the electric Hummer is equipped, based on a hinged door that becomes either a panel or a step to access the box. Likewise, the lid covers the box, being equipped with shock absorbers.

We will see if this new project by Alain B. becomes a reality or not. It is not the first one he has done, since also, as can be seen on his YouTube channel , he has shaped other LEGOs of his own creation such as a Jeep Wrangler and the BMW i8, both also functional and remote control.
