1992 GMC TYPHOON UNLEASHED! The SUV That Outran Supercars!

In Episode 130 of Cars, Shops & Collections we drop in on Riley Hodson from Hodson Motors to see his 1992 GMC Typhoon!
We first met Riley back in Episode 40 of Cars, Shops & Collections when he gave us a tour of his private collection including his 1983 Wagoneer/ Jeep J10 Monster (it has a Dodge Viper V10 inside). In fact, stick around to the end of the episode as we present Riley with a special tribute to his J10.
Technically Riley is no longer the owner of this 1992 GMC Typhoon because he gave it away! This amazing! Riley and his crew do over the top builds and give them away through a raffle! Check out his next giveaway at his website a 1975 Ford F250! ‪@hodsonmotors‬
Back to our 1992 Typhoon!
Get ready for a bumper-to-bumper showcase of the 1992 GMC Typhoon. This rare beast is not just another SUV - it's a high-performance monster that shocked the automotive world in the early '90s. With only 4,697 units produced over its two-year run, the Typhoon is a coveted piece of GM history. Its 4.3-liter turbocharged V6 engine, borrowed from the GMC Syclone pickup, churns out an impressive 280 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. This power, combined with its all-wheel-drive system, allowed the Typhoon to sprint from 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds - faster than many sports cars of its era.
The Typhoon wasn't just about straight-line speed; it was a comprehensive performance package. Its lowered suspension, performance-tuned shocks, and upgraded brakes made it handle like no other SUV of its time. Inside, the Typhoon boasted leather seats, air conditioning, and a host of luxury features that set it apart from its more utilitarian GMC siblings. This unique blend of practicality, luxury, and blistering performance made the Typhoon a true game-changer, paving the way for the high-performance SUVs we see today.

Buddy of mine got the new Syclone & let me tell you man what a ride that was! In 1991 I had a Trans Am & always ran 91 or 93 octane & the local drag strip a few miles down the road from me had 103 racing fuel that I would occasionally run & even then I still couldnt keep up with that Syclone in the quarter although it was a closer race! The only thing this one needs is blacked out windows ✌💖☮
