GMC Typhoon
Today, turbo-powered SUVs are pretty ordinary, but in the early ’90s, the idea was unheard of. Especially stealth-looking, performance SUV, which could beat almost any sports car at stoplight drags. This was the legendary GMC Typhoon.
The Typhoon had a 4.3-liter V6 engine with a turbocharger and intercooler. The power output was 280 HP. That’s not that impressive today, but back in 1991, it was a nice number. But the automatic transmission, performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system, and suspension helped the performance, and the Typhoon could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. Even today, this is quite fast for an ordinary SUV (via Car and Driver).
