The Fiat Hummer?
<p><img alt="Fiat Oltre 450 pr photo" src="http://common.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3060000000056306.JPG?0.12225087322252415" align="top" border="1" height="293" hspace="4" vspace="4" width="450"/></p>
<p>Fiat is unveiling this Hummer-like concept at the Bologna Motor Show this week. Based on the Fiat-Iveco Light<br />
Multirole Vehicle that will be used by the armies of Great Britain and Italy, the ?Oltre Fiat? has all the rugged<br />
attributes of the military version, plus the bling of a show car.</p>
<p>Underneath, it?s all military: full-time 4WD with three locking differentials, 20-inch ground clearance, fully<br />
independent suspension with coil-over shocks, six-speed automatic transmission, and Iveco?s 3-liter, 4-cylinder<br />
common-rail diesel powerplant. Good enough to climb an 80 percent grade and hit a top speed of 130 kph.</p>
<p>The stout 7.7 ton (that?s not a typo!) vehicle has a payload capacity near 3.5 tons, and will seat 4 or 5, depending on<br />
configuration.</p>
