No I think you'll find it doesn't. You are mistaking something very big and with a big engine for supercar. A true supercar will excel in something - like speed, handling, or economy or (in the case of an SUV) in off-road ability.

So lets do the tests :

Speed - Nope, I have a toilet which extracts my poos faster than a Hummer can go.

Handling - Nope. I think the "Moose" in the "Moose test" will be in a pie.

Economy - Er, are you having a giraffe ?

Off road - Nope - a standard Jeep and especially a standard LR Defender (even with 4 cylinders of Diesel power) can go places Hummers just fail at.

There is nothing Super about a Hummer. It Hums, as in there is a smell about it.
