Back in the mid-1980s, the US Military started using the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), affectionately known as the Humvee. This big, heavy military truck could run over anything and survive even land mines. Even though the Humvee was strictly made and engineered for the military, constant requests for a street-legal version made AM General think about entering the lucrative civilian market as well (via HummerH1).

Finally, in 1992, the civilian Hummer H1 was introduced. It looked almost the same as the military version and featured the same technology and engine. The power came from a 6.2-litre diesel V8 with just 165 hp and loads of torque. The only real difference between military and civilian Hummer was the interior, and the street legal model had a much plusher interior with air conditioning, leather upholstery, and a premium audio system.
