01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Hummer T-Rex by Coggiola redefines the concept of the Sport Utility Vehicle, standing as the most impressive creation of its kind ever realized. Crafted to traverse ancient desert caravan routes with the agility of a luxury limousine, the T-Rex asserts its dominance as the ultimate giant of the sands. Sporting a commanding presence and colossal dimensions, it is propelled by a formidable V8 6.5 engine, meticulously integrated into the sturdy framework of the Hummer chassis. Unveiled at the prestigious Geneva International Motor Show in 2000, the T-Rex captivated audiences with its sleek profile, drawing inspiration from the latest generation of SUVs. Accessible via a wide electric platform that extends automatically upon door opening, its cabin offers unparalleled comfort for up to six occupants, with adaptable seating configurations catering to diverse outfitting needs. Coggiola’s expert technicians carefully selected the mechanics, chassis, and engine from the renowned Hummer H1, ensuring unparalleled performance and reliability. Powered by a 6.5-liter V8 turbo diesel engine generating 195 hp at 3,500 rpm, the Coggiola T-Rex achieves a top speed of 135 km/h, with permanent all-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic transmission ensuring seamless power delivery. Equipped with disc brakes, ABS, and a tight turning radius, the Hummer T-Rex exhibits remarkable maneuverability both on and off the road. In off-road conditions, reverse gear is only necessary for the tightest hairpin turns, highlighting its exceptional handling capabilities. Beyond its impressive performance, driving the T-Rex offers a glimpse into the future, courtesy of its cutting-edge onboard technology. From satellite navigation to a multimedia entertainment system, each feature is designed to enhance the driving experience, combining luxury with functionality seamlessly. Standard amenities such as central door locking, electric windows, and air conditioning, along with the innovative Central Tire Inflation System, further elevate the T-Rex’s appeal. Inside the cabin, the distinctive half-moon window in the roof adds a touch of architectural flair, echoing the vehicle’s global allure and cosmopolitan charm.
