Released alongside the Typhoon was a two-door pickup truck called the Syclone. The Syclone utilized the same turbocharged engine under the hood of the Typhoon. The incredible design of the truck was unlike anything else available. The Syclone was a modest success for GM at a time when the company needed it the most. The Syclone wasn’t the first performance truck, but it was the first one that utilized a turbocharged V6 (via Top Speed).

At the time of its release, the Syclone was quicker than a Porsche 911 and a Corvette ZR-1, which is jaw-dropping for a pickup truck. The design of the truck was so barebones that you knew exactly what this thing was about. There are also a few famous owners of the Syclone as well including Jay Leno. There was just something that people loved about the truck, and it paved the way for fast trucks like the Lightning and the Raptor.
