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.

The vehicle has every performance option Mil-Spec offers, giving the H1 modern upgrades while still maintaining the timeless Hummer appearance and function. 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 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.
