The Toronado featured a torsion bar front suspension paired with semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear—an uncommon combination for its time.
This advanced setup provided a smooth ride and sharper handling compared to standard coil spring suspensions found in most rivals.
Oldsmobile’s innovative engineering helped control the car’s substantial weight and powerful drivetrain, delivering a refined driving experience that still impresses enthusiasts today.
