AMERICA’S Hummer off-roader models are to be officially imported into the UK.

The H2 model, powered by a 6.0-litre V8 petrol engine producing 325bhp, will be offered in left-hand drive form only and goes on sale later this year.

The slightly smaller H3 version will be built in right-hand drive, with a 3.5-litre inline five-cylinder engine under the bonnet producing 220bhp. It is due to arrive in the UK during 2007.
