The turbocharged, AWD compact SUV that was a rocket ship—GMC’s answer to the Syclone, but with more seats. It was a two-year wonder that proved SUVs could be fast. It’s a cult classic.
The Typhoon was a rear-wheel-drive-biased AWD, body-on-frame compact SUV on the S-10 platform. It had a 4.3L Vortec V6 with a turbocharger (280 hp) and a 4-speed auto (4L60E). It had a stiffer suspension, a limited-slip rear diff, and a body kit. It could do 0-60 in 5.3 seconds—faster than most sports cars of its era.
The 4.3L turbo is a stout engine—it’s a pushrod V6 with a Garrett turbo. The 4L60E is good but needs maintenance. The Typhoon is a collector’s item—parts are expensive and hard to find. It’s not a daily driver.
