Perhaps one of the most unique trucks in the history of the automotive world was the Syclone. The Syclone was for a long period the fastest production vehicle on the road and had a menacing look to it that still excites truck fans today. The turbocharged powerplant was very similar to the one that you found under the hood of the Grand National, and GM was very intent on turbocharging everything that they could during this era (via Driving).

Few pickup trucks have managed to cement the type of reputation that the Syclone did. The performance of the truck was unheard of when you thought of a compact pickup truck, much less something as simple as the GMC Sonoma platform. The truck is still one of the most highly sought-after vehicles on the road and people still seek this truck out for the thrills of driving it.
