The first commodity copies of the Ford Bronco and GMC Hummer EV SUVs were sold at a fabulous price for mass cars - $ 1.1 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively. For that kind of money, cars with VIN numbers 001 left the Barrett-Jackson auction.
The Ford Bronco is a frame SUV based on the Ford Ranger T6 pickup truck. The car revives the legendary Bronco series, "abandoned" in 1996.
The copy sold at auction is made in the First Edition version with a 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost (314 hp and 542 Nm) and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The usual price of a car in this configuration in the US is about $60,000.
Ford will donate $1.1 million of proceeds to charity: it will be divided between the National Forest Foundation and Outward Bound.
With the introduction of the GMC Hummer EV electric pickup truck, General Motors is resurrecting the famous Hummer brand, which previously produced the civilian version of the military Humvee and the H2 (full-size) and H3 (mid-size) models made in the same style with it.
The Hummer EV is built on the all-new BT1 platform, originally designed for electric propulsion and designed for light trucks and full-size SUVs.
The car is driven by three electric motors with a total power of 1000 hp. They are powered by an 800-volt Ultium battery that provides a range of 560 km.
$2.5 million from the sale of the EV N001 Hummer will go to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in honor of firefighter Steven Siller, who died while working at the scene of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The regular price of the Hummer EV with Edition 1 is from $112,595. The start of production is scheduled for autumn 2021.
First Ford Bronco sold for $1.1 million, GMC Hummer EV for $2.5 million
