The GMC Typhoon was a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy Produced from 1992-1993. 1991 Typhoons were the pre-production units and there were only 6 made. Aside from the 6 prototypes, only 4697 built by GMC. In 1993 only 2200 Typhoons were produced.
This 1993 GMC Typhoon features a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm2 turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L LB4 V6 intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7L GM small block engine. Typhoon came with a GM 700R4 transmission (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission out of the Corvette and Camaro and a BorgWarner 4472 transfer case splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. It featured all-wheel drive, upgraded brakes, and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. Typhoon featured an air-operated self-leveling rear suspension. Output was officially 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 ft-lb, but some stock Typhoons have been measured at over 300 hp on a dynamometer. The Typhoon can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.1 seconds at 95 mph. Car and Driver was impressed, comparing the Syclone's performance favorably to the Ferrari 348ts, Chevrolet Corvette, and Nissan 300ZX Turbo. The Typhoon has the added custom AM/FM/CD Stereo Radio with the JL Audio Slash 250/1 Mono Amplifier and Sub-Woofer to make your cruising even more enjoyable.
This Typhoon won't last long with so few of them originally produced. Call with any questions!
Did you ever mistake a Chevy pick up for GMC? No wonder as those have been virtually identical apart from the grill and logo since the 20's.
The difference is Chevrolet trucks were marketed towards private users, while GMC was intended for commercial use, so it's more about market segmentation than anything else.
