GMC Syclone
In the 1980s, GM experimented with turbocharged engines, which were pretty much in sync with the industry’s trends. GM took an ordinary S10 body shell and installed a 4.3-liter V6 with a turbocharger for 280 hp, a unique 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, making it faster than contemporary Ferraris.
