GMC Typhoon

When was the last time you got excited about a GMC? Probably not in decades, as the brand has been primarily focused on luxury pickup trucks and SUVs. But in the 1990s, there were a pair of turbocharged vehicles from GMC, the Syclone and the Typhoon. Both of these trucks were brutally fast and unlike anything else with a GMC badge on it before. The Typhoon was based on the Chevy Blazer and incorporated a turbocharged engine (via Car & Driver).

The Typhoon was unlike anything else on the market at the time. This was way before performance SUVs were a thing. The smooth design of the exterior was a massive improvement over the stock two-door Jimmy model. The incredible performance of the Typhoon made it stand out from almost every other expensive sports car on the market. The Typhoon was an excellent SUV that broke all kinds of records and could do it again.
