GMC Syclone

The Syclone was another project by GM performance that utilized nearly the same design as the Typhoon. Believe it or not, the Syclone was the fastest production car in the world for a short period, and it was a pickup truck. The slick black look of the truck became iconic with early 1990s GM products (via Hot Cars).

The turbocharged engine was and still is one of the best engines that GM has ever produced. The Syclone was the first unique truck that was sold exclusively under the GMC banner. When it came to performance trucks, the Syclone was faster than the 454 SS and the F-150 Lightning. A turbocharged performance truck used to just be a novelty, but nowadays it’s a reality thanks to the Syclone.
