The Typhoon got a 4.3-liter V6 engine with a turbocharger and intercooler. The power output was 280 hp, not that impressive today, but back in 1991, it was a nice number. However, 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 fast for an ordinary SUV (via Car and Driver).

The rest of the package included unique trim, luxury interior appointments, exceptional color and wheel choices, and limited production. In just three years of production, from 1991 to 1993, the Typhoon was made in precisely 4,697 copies.
