The car-mad sheik builds the biggest Hummer in the world
A CAR-mad sheik has built the world’s largest Hummer H1 — over 21 feet tall and with TWO STORIES inside.
Commissioned by Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, the incredible vehicle features stairs, a toilet and even a guest area – and is fully drivable.

The monster truck, which will take pride of place in his Sharjah Off Road History Museum in the United Arab Emirates, is 46 feet long, 20 feet wide and 21.6 feet tall.
The Sheikh, a billionaire member of the Emirates royal family, holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of 4×4 vehicles, with 718 models.
And breathtaking scenes watched as his newest vehicle, dubbed the Hummer H1 X3, was driven down the road to its new home.
The giant car, built on the frame of the US Army’s steel-hulled LARC-LX amphibious cargo vehicle, is powered by four diesel engines.
With a top speed of 32 km/h, it is “three times larger than a normal Hummer H1 by scale and 27 times by volume”, according to the museum.
Its interior extends over two floors, which are still being worked on.
The first floor has a staircase, toilet and sink, while the second has a majlis (a private place where house guests and friends are received and entertained) with 360 degree views.
The X3 also includes the control cabin.
The X3 will be the latest addition to the Sharjah Off Road History Museum, located 30km north of Dubai.
The attraction is based on the Sheikh’s love for off-road vehicles.
