There was supposed to be a debut of the new electric today, but due to the current societal chaos, GMC has instead decided to show a tease—the new Hummer’s trick roof that functions both as removable t-tops, or even a full Targa top.

You’d think the new Hummer got a customizable roof to better compete against the upcoming Bronco revival which promises just that. But I have a different theory. I think GMC didn’t want to be outdone by Porsche, which just revealed the all-new 992-generation . So GMC has brought its own Targa top to the party in the guise of, uh, the upcoming 1,000-horsepower electric reinvention of Hummer.

The teaser is in the form of the video below, and it ain’t much. It just shows a starry night sky through an open vehicle roof. We see that the front area of the roof is completely open, Targa style, and the rear area keeps a center support bar with removable panels on either side.

There are four panels, two in the front and two in the back. The only difference in the front is that the middle bar can also be removed, creating a clean-cut opening above the driver’s head.

I hope you like roof features because that’s it! GM didn’t announce a new reveal date for the vehicle but has claimed that development and production of the new Hummer should not be impacted by the covid-19 outbreak that’s thrown a wrench in just about everybody else’s plans.

That means it should be available by the end of next year, with what GM claims is 1,000 horsepower, 11,500 lb-ft of torque (), and up to 400 miles of range on a single charge. It’ll also apparently look like a Hummer, if the other teaser image is to be believed. So far, so good, but does the trick roof suddenly send you over the edge?

Also, enjoy this almost-threatening image GMC included in the press release:

Ram's Retort To GM's Towing Comparison Between The Big Three
It's an exciting time to be talking about trucks— every automaker is bending the throttle on innovation in the utility segment and it's all-out war to be king of every comparison. GM impressed me with their intelligent cruise control, but Ram's Nick Cappa wanted to address some things I might...

2015 Silverado & Sierra 2500 HD 4WD Crew Cab: The Truck Yeah! Review
GM was officially first to launch a 2015 heavy duty pickup, and it doesn't suck. The redesigned 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 and 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are not without fault, but they offer a significantly better towing experience than what the rest of the segment can offer. For now. The...

TONKA F-150: A Surprisingly Well-Executed Appeal To Your Inner Child
The bright-yellow F-150 emblazoned with TONKA logos at the Chicago Auto Show was hard to miss, even though it was wedged behind Ford's main display in the commercial truck section. The style's not for everybody, but the build quality was impressive. The truck's made by a company called Tuscany, which...

Chevy City Express Is The Coolest Cargo Carrier At Chicago Auto Show
The rest of the Jalopnik crew made fun of me for going gaga over the van's cargo management features. Whatever, I say OEM cargo shelves are kickass and I don't care who knows it. I also love the flat surface attached to the back of the passenger seat. The seat...
