22. GMC Typhoon

GMC equipped its Typhoons 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. Also, the automatic transmission, performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system and suspension enhanced the performance. The Typhoon could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds.

The rest of the package included a special trim, luxury interior appointments, special colors and wheel choices. It was also limited in production. Although the performance figures were not that unique in 2017, the Typhoon could outrun a Ferrari 348 back then. It can still surprise many performance cars at the stoplight.
