Robby Gordon's Hummer H3 Dakar Racecar

Robby-Gordon-F34.jpgSitting in the middle of the GM booth at SEMA is Robby Gordon's Hummer H3 Dakar racer. This tube-frame, carbon-fiber-bodied beast uses a LS7 V8 and sequential gearbox to drive the rear wheels. And it looks utterly bad ass.

Gordon's third place finish in this year's event means he's a real contender for the 2010 edition which starts on January 1.

More photos after the jump.

These are certainly the most gorgeous control arms we've ever seen on an off-road vehicle.

I think the dash and center stack are too busy/button laden....... ;-)

Sweet machine - it'd be great if he could pull off a win.

that's the most carbon fiber that a NASCAR driver will ever see.
