The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance SUV, produced from 1991 to 1993 by GMC. The Typhoon was based on the 1991 GMC Jimmy.[1]

Description

Like the GMC Syclone, the Typhoon is powered by a 4.3 L LB4 V6 engine producing 280 hp (209 kW)[1] at 4,400 rpm and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m) of torque at 3,600 rpm. The engine is a modified version of the Vortec engine found in the standard Jimmy, which originally produced 190 hp.[2] The engine uses a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm2 turbocharger producing 14 psi of boost and a Garrett Water/Air intercooler, as well as revised intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a {{Convert|48|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine.[3] The Typhoon sends power to all four wheels through a 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner 4472 (the Syclone used a BorgWarner 1372){{Citation needed|date=July 2018}} transfer case splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. Other features include upgraded brakes, a limited slip rear differential and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. Unlike the Syclone, the Typhoon featured an air-operated self-leveling rear suspension.{{Citation needed|date=July 2018}}

During tests by Car and Driver, the Typhoon was capable of accelerating from {{convert|0|–|60|mph|abbr=on}} in 5.3 seconds[1] and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.1 seconds at {{convert|95|mph|abbr=on}}. Car and Driver compared the Syclone's performance favorably to the Ferrari 348ts, Chevrolet Corvette, and Nissan 300ZX Turbo.[1] It cost US$29,970, though the magazine criticized the plastic interior pieces.

Production and colors

All three model years were built for GMC by Production Automotive Services of Troy, Michigan. Aside from a handful of prototypes, only 4,697 Typhoons were built by GMC: 2,497 for 1992, and 2,200 for 1993. Unlike regular production Syclones, Typhoons were offered in various color configurations that differed by year, with black/black being the most common.
