Last week, a Russian social media influencer went viral by strapping a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class to the roof of a Toyota Land Cruiser and driving around in it. Not to be outdone, a different Russian social media star has decided to take things one step further by strapping a Rolls-Royce Ghost to the roof of a Hummer H2.
Unlike the video of the Land Cruiser where we were left to guess how the Mercedes was positioned on its roof, this clip shows the YouTuber used a large crane to hoist the Ghost onto a special wooden roof rack positioned on the Hummer.
Once the Rolls-Royce was nicely centered on the rack, ratchet straps were threaded through the front wheels and wrapped around the steel bull bar. Additional ratchet straps are located at the rear and secure the rear wheels to the tow hooks at the base of the bumper.

Obviously, the Hummer was never designed to carry a vehicle on its roof and the sustained loads associated with it. Nevertheless, the YouTuber can be seen riding inside the Ghost as he and his friends drive around in the unique double-decker. They even took a visit to a gas station and filled up the Rolls.
There’s no practical reason to load a Rolls-Royce onto the roof of a Hummer other than to get some clicks on social media and throughout the video, we get to see the reactions of many stunned onlookers, some of whom probably weren’t sure if they were dreaming or if what they were seeing was indeed real.
