General Motors hired LeBron James to serve as the main celebrity ambassador for the GMC Hummer EV<\/a>, originally starring in last year\u2019s Super Bowl ad. The 36-year-old basketball player was given the opportunity to get up close and personal with the static model, so unfortunately there\u2019s no driving footage available in the video below. It\u2019s worth mentioning several YouTubers have already checked out the very same static model, and it looks like it was LeBron\u2019s turn to do a walkaround video.<\/p>\n It goes without saying he\u2019s quite impressed by the GMC Hummer EV, even though the vehicle we\u2019re seeing is far from being the actual production model. The Ohio-born basketball player goes through some of the electric truck\u2019s highlights, including the Crab Mode (four-wheel steering) and the 0 to 60 mph acceleration in three seconds flat.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Iu6NfYyJhKc<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t come as a surprise LeBron suggests he\u2019s going to get the \u201cworld\u2019s first all-electric supertruck\u201d as it has been described by GMC. It would make sense for the LA Lakers player to go for the Edition 1 with all the bells and whistles, which carries a steep asking price of $112,595. In exchange, buyers will be rewarded with a tri-motor setup with 1,000 horsepower and a mountain-moving amount of torque.<\/p>\n The Hummer EV pickup truck will be followed by an SUV sibling we\u2019re expecting to see very soon, possibly with LeBron once again helping GMC to promote the product. It would make sense to at least catch a glimpse of the Hummer SUV during Super Bowl LV scheduled to take place on February 7 unless there will be a change of plan due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
