7. GMC Syclone

Back in the 1980s, GM has experimented a lot with turbocharged engines which was pretty much in sync with the industry`s trends at the moment. GM took an ordinary S10 body shell, installed a 4.3-liter V6 with a turbocharger, good for 280 hp, special 4-speed automatic sourced from a Corvette and performance biased all-wheel drive.

The power figures don’t sound much these days, but the Syclone was able to sprint to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds which made it faster than contemporary Ferraris.
