Mil-Spec Automotive recently released the details of their new model 007 H1, a custom bespoke Hummer with a $297,541 price tag.
Mil-Spec takes apart Hummer H1 models and restomods them to fit their client's requests. This specific 007 model was commissioned by a buyer who wanted to keep the classic H1 exterior appearance, focusing instead on interior and drive upgrades.
"The Hummer was an off-road brand that was not really focused on that luxury-vehicle experience," Mil-Spec President Chris Van Scyofc said in a press release. "We're giving the Hummer H1 an actual lease on life, and additionally an actual extension on its life."
The 007 H1 is fitted with a 500-horsepower turbo-diesel engine that was built in-house, offsetting its 6-piston brake package and a six-speed automatic transmission. To compare, the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha has a 300-horsepower engine.

It's also fitted with military Humvee heavy-duty axle shafts and portal hubs, as well as an integrated hitch, trailer plugs, and a reverse camera for functionality. Mil-Spec also deleted the factory four-wheel-drive setting, replacing it with a transfer case typically found in late-model GM pickup trucks.
This H1 is one of the 12 customized Hummers Mil-Spec will be building in its "Launch Edition" lineup by 2020 - take a look:
The H1 Hummer Launch Edition #007, pictured, has a price tag of $297,541.
Mil-Spec strips down the donor H1 body and rebuilds it by hand after restoring the parts.
"The exterior of the Hummer is something that really doesn't need to be changed. It's only important to enhance the vehicle," Mil-Spec CIO/Lead Designer Ian Broekman said when announcing the design.
Mil-Spec used Momo Prototipo Steering Wheels.
Quilted stitching and custom lumbar supports were added per request of the buyer.
The Executive Interior Package upgrade included Nappa leather upholstery that covers the seats.
Mil-Spec used a Kevlar-infused exterior coating and semi-gloss powder-coated accents on the vehicle.
The vehicle was redesigned with a triple-black color theme.
Only 12 of the vehicles are being made for the initial "Launch Lineup." Prospective buyers can reach out directly on the Mil-Spec website.
