Description
When Car and Driver tested the 1992 GMC Typhoon, it recorded 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. The Ferrari 348 of the same year ran 5.6. The Typhoon was, by most measures, the fastest production vehicle sold through an American showroom in 1992 — wearing GMC badges, carrying four seats, and looking to most observers like a mildly sporty SUV. One of the great sleepers in automotive history.
The secret was a 4.3-litre turbocharged V6 pushing 280 horsepower through all-wheel drive, hidden beneath standard Sonoma bodywork. The all-black paint and barely-there badging made it look sinister without revealing anything. The Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive replicates that brief perfectly — Spectraflame black, chrome details, Real Riders wheels. If you know, you know.
