Santa’s good old reindeer sleigh is taking a break. This year Santa will deliver his presents using a very special HUMMER H2 from GeigerCars.de Europe’s largest HUMMER dealer and leading European tuner of American automobiles built a Christmas HUMMER with lots of festive extras for the TV magazine Galileo on the German ‘Pro 7’ channel.
On the outside St. Nick’s new company vehicle sports a fiery red special-effect paintjob from Munich paint specialist Michael Rollwage, complete with an airbrushed winter scene and a depiction of the Star of Bethlehem.
The body was also modified extensively. The front doors no longer open in the conventional way; they now open by swinging up like gullwing doors. Tin-coated metal moldings that have been welded seamlessly into the rear side window openings turn the H2 into a true panel cruiser. To perfect the Christmas looks the body was further fitted with 250 LED lamps that clearly define the H2’s contours at night.
The H2 also provides everything Santa needs for his winter fitness program: A specially designed external rear luggage rack safely holds two HEAD Snowboards as well as two EBRA curling stones and hockey sticks. A large roof carrier box is also part of the exclusive equipment as is an old-fashioned sled.
The spectacular GeigerCars.de Christmas HUMMER looks are further characterized by 10Jx22 chrome wheels with Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires in size 325/55 R 22.
And should the snow get too deep for even the HUMMER H2, Santa Claus can switch to the snowmobile painted in the same theme as the HUMMER itself. The GeigerCars.de technicians custom-built a special trailer based on an ALKO chassis that runs on the same 22-inch light-alloy wheels as the Christmas HUMMER.
Special emphasis was placed on a cuddly interior ambiance. Master upholsterer Andi Richter fitted the entire interior with red leather and carpet, color-coordinated with the exterior color. Walnut-burl applications add further attractive visual highlights.
Reportedly Santa Claus is a big music enthusiast and thus sound specialist Thomas Regler equipped the HUMMER with a custom-tailored JBL sound system with 3,800 watts. But why stop there? The images from the digital TV receiver or from a DVD play on no less than three screens; in the front row, in the lavish rear compartment and in what used to be the trunk.
All it takes to start a great après-ski party is to open the liftgate: The restyled trunk now not only offers maximum viewing pleasure with a 42-inch LCD widescreen TV, and sound from the mighty JBL speakers: Integrated thermos cans provide hot mulled wine while a heated stainless-steel box can hold warm cookies.
For a comfortable and romantic time after the party the rear compartment – visually enlarged by a mirror on the rear wall – features an electric fireplace with white fake bearskin rug, an auxiliary Webasto heater and a large red leather couch.
The GeigerCars.de Christmas HUMMER represents a value of some 110,000 Euros and was raffled off among the Galileo viewers. We don’t know what Santa Claus thought about the loss of his 320-hp company vehicle.

Get Santa Claus off the roof! He disturbs the aerodynamics. That equals an even worse fuel milage.

Damn, it's cool though. I love the interior! It would've been even better than that 250K Chevy van if it weren't for the red interior color, but I certainly wouldn't mind one anyway.

I'm totally anti-christmas though, so I'd like to see another theme. A jet ski and two surfboards on the back would be better those pointless snow tools.

I wonder, will it be Mr. Claus or Mrs. Claus delivering presents in that thing?

That's actually quite cool. A fireplace, fake or not, is cool in any car and a quad bike sort of thing hanging off the back of it is exceptionally cool aswell.

Lets face it, when Santa is driving, who cares about Gas mileage ? Actually, he is probably the real eason for global warming. Boooo Santa.

What scares me is as much as this is sort of a joke, its as if there almost been serious too. They've made it into a can shape, it has a jet-ski for crossing oceans, and those tyre profiles look more than drivable. CEO of geiger could possibly be a massive crack head.

It's not a jet-ski, it's a snowmobile. It's probably used for places where the Hummer would be too draggy.

i'd hit itYeah, I'd hit the santa claus too... really hard with a hammer - it would be totally perfect if it weren't for all the christmas stuff. I certainly wouldn't be caught dead in a car with that kind of styling.

Ummm, with a ground clearance less than a Toyota Tacoma, no, I don't like it. It needs the off-road capability of the H1 for it to get my respect. But, I do like the snowmobile on it.....

Zeyk you forgot to include on the poll the "I want to fill that thing with dynamite, throw it form a C130 Hercules at 200.000 feets and see the fireworks when it hits the ground" option, that's what I would like to vote for...

OK then....
I couldn't be bothered to read all that text at the top so I'll settle with the opinion that Santa shouldn't be riding in a freaking massive SUV/Ex-Military Vehicle's Brother/Arnold Schwartsnegger Carrier with a group of hookers dressed up like him riding in the back seat.

The interior is pretty kicka**. You gotta love that fake fireplace and shag carpet.
But all of this is pointless IMO.

I don't quite like it.. Santa's ride should be a convertible. :)
Most probably a CLK Cabriolet will do.. because its not boxy.

I wanna' hate that car, but I ended up finding it actually pretty cool!Lol, me too. It's probably mostly because of the plasma screen...
God bless GeigerCars. They save Hummers from being a piece of crap and turn them into dream cars instead.

Wow, it's hard to believe the hummer can be made even worse, but they did it. Those doors look so ******ed.

Destroying things is funny, and the wilder the better!
