The GMC Typhoon was a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. Produced in 1992 and 1993, the Typhoon was based on the 1991 GMC Jimmy SUV.
Both the GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8cm2 turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L
LB4 V6 engine with forged pistons, main caps, head gaskets, intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body
from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine. All had a GM 700R4 transmission (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner 4472 transfer case
splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. It has all-wheel drive, upgraded brakes, and sport modifications to the standard suspensions.
Output was officially 280 hp but some stock Typhoons have been measured at over 300 hp on a dynamometer. The Typhoon was capable of accelerating from
0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.1 seconds at 95 mph. There were only 2200 of these bad boys made in 1993.
This example is the rare color combo of Frost White w/Gray lower panels complimented by a beautiful Black leather interior.
It has it's original 16" wheels but now looks wonderful on it's 20" custom wheels & tire combo. It has only 38K original
miles & was obviously well kept. It is super fast, super fun & very reliable. This will certainly be a great investment
in the future but to enjoy daily.
