#GMC Typhoon

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

GMC Typhoon, 1992. A special version of the GMC Syclone powered by a turbocharged 4.3 L LB4 V6 engine that produced 280hp. There were also upgraded brakes, a limited-slip rear differential and sport modifications to the  suspension including self-levelling rear springs. The Typhoon was built for GMC by Production Automotive Services of Troy, Michigan, with 4697 being made across 3 model years.

GMC Typhoon. These are not just a styling exercise. They run a 290ps 4.3L V6 with lots of internal upgrades to suit the intercooled turbo that was also added. 0-100 in low 5s and a 14.1 sec quarter mile.

GMC Syclone vs Typhoon: cooking up a storm - Simon Hucknall @Classic & Sports Car

‘Think of it as a Porsche 911 that really “hauls”,’ reads GMC’s 1991 advert for this discreet-looking pick-up.Glitzy wheels and a subtly lower ride-height aside, it could have been the truck that ma or pa used to collect groceries from Fresh Pickens, just off Route 66.But the Porsche-shaming data running below would have shattered that quaint image faster than a moonshiner’s quarter-mile…

The GMC Typhoon laid the foundation of high-performance SUVs (like the Trackhawk).

GM Typhoon

If the recipe for success was created with the Syclone, GM would repeat the process with the Typhoon. The unique styling of the Typhoon was carried over from the Syclone, but this time it was as a performance SUV model. GM took the standard Jimmy design and added some pizzazz to it with a new paint scheme and a more powerful turbocharged engine. The Typhoon is by far one of the most beautiful trucks to come out of the 1990s.

The styling is unique and one of the reasons this was such a popular vehicle. You’ll seldom see one on the road anymore because most were snatched up by collectors. But if you’ve ever wondered where the performance SUV originated from, it was partly from the Typhoon. Without the Typhoon, there would be no SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee, and many other performance SUV models.

what do you think about suvs

i love older suvs. i drive one currently, and generally love a lot of them up through the like mid 2000s. my jeep cherokee xj was a bucket list car and the jdm nissan patrol and toyota land cruiser are on that list, as well as the s10 based chevy blazer. i think the gmc typhoon is one of the coolest american cars of the 90s. i also love a lot of the full trucks that paved the way for the first suvs and crossovers, like early ford broncos and chevy blazers.

i’m less of a fan of modern ones. i think a lot of them are way too big (not as bad as pickups but getting there) and really don’t have enough cargo space or off-road ability for how big they are a lot of the time. i get that safety is a lot of it but it’s absurd that when my mom rented a like 2020 toyota rav4, the 04 subaru wrx i got a few months later could haul more

From Wild to Wilder - John Gerber

Quick question – how many GMC Typhoons have you ever seen? Did you know such a vehicle even existed? Well, it did, even though this muscular big brother to General Motors Corporation’s ubiquitous Jimmy was only on the scene for a brief span of two years, 1992 and 1993. During that time a grand total of 4,697 units were built, and it’s hard to say how many road-worthy examples survive today. Two of the best of this relatively rare breed are alive and well in Fort Wayne, Indiana, both proudly owned by John Gerber. And even though they look similar at first glance, these Frost White beauties are polar opposites under the skin. From the factory, the Typhoon featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm2 turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L LB4 V6 intake manifold, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM small block engine. Today, both of Gerber’s Typhoons are still V6 turbo powered, but that’s where the similarity to anything bolted together in Detroit ends. There’s little doubt that wild to wilder best describes these two fantastic hot rods. The existence of these superb vehicles is a true testament of the skill, vision and meticulous attention to detail lavished on them by their owner and by everyone who participated in both builds. The first GMC Typhoon that Gerber bought was this pristine example, used primarily for car audio competition in the ‘90s. He eventually decided to beef up the drivetrain by making a number of significant modifications. While still utilizing the original all-wheeldrive, Gerber’s rolling sound factory runs through the quarter-mile timers in the 10.60s at over 130 mph, all while weighing in at 4,300 pounds! The engine is a 266-cubicinch GM Bowtie V6 NASCAR Busch Series piece topped by Brodix 23-degree heads. The combo includes a F.A.S.T. Classic EFI system and a PTE BB 76mm turbo. The transmission is a custombuilt GM 4L80E unit that transfers the power to Nitto tires mounted on polished 17-inch ZR1 wheels. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood 4-piston disk brakes. In the cabin, the original leather interior is complimented by Auto Meter gauges and, of course, a killer sound system. The whole package is set off by the factory original GM Arctic White paint. John thanks Bill Davis Chassis, Hires Speed Shop, Stephens & Hull Racing Engines and RPM Transmissions for their help with the project.

1993 GMC Typhoon on C4 Corvette Wheels Is Our Bring a Trailer Pick of the Day

Car and Driver Back before performance-oriented SUVs were even a thing, General Motors busted out its crystal ball in the early ’90s with the original hi-po ute, the GMC Typhoon. There’s currently a 1993 model listed on the Bring a Trailer auction site—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos. While the Typhoon in question is not museum quality, it is a piece of history I could thrash…
