39. GMC Typhoon
Out of all the SUVs produced in the early ’90s, the most interesting, fastest one was the GMC Typhoon. It was a limited-production small SUV with a higher price tag than most other cars of the day. It had an unbelievable performance that set it apart from all the rest. More than 25 years since the first Typhoons saw the light of day, this vehicle is still a benchmark of performance. The GMC Typhoon is the perfect sleeper model since it looks extremely ordinary and slow.

GMC equipped its Typhoon with a 4.3-liter V6 engine with a turbocharger and intercooler. The power output was 280 HP, which is not that impressive today. But back in 1991, it was a nice number. The automatic transmission, performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system, and updated suspension allow the Typhoon to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. The rest of the package included special wheel choices, colors, and trim as well as many luxury interior options. The company limited the Typhoon’s production. The performance figures were not that unique in 2017, but the Typhoon could outrun a Ferrari 348 back in its day. Today, it can still surprise many performance cars at the traffic light. Due to the limited number of them, it would be wise to snap one up.
