The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. Produced in 1992 and 1993 by GMC, the Typhoon was based on the 1991 Jimmy. Both the GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm2 turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L ''LB4'' V6 intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine. All Syclones and Typhoons had a 700r4 4-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner 1372 (Syclone)/4472 (Typhoon) transfer case splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. Both trucks featured all-wheel drive, upgraded brakes, and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. Unlike the Syclone, the Typhoon featured an air-operated self-leveling rear suspension. Output was 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m). The Typhoon was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.5 seconds at 95 mph (153 km/h). ''Car and Driver'' compared the Syclone's performance favorably to the Ferrari 348ts, Chevrolet Corvette, and Nissan 300ZX Turbo. It cost US$29,970, though the magazine criticized the plasticy interior pieces. All three trucks were built for GMC by Production Automotive Services of Troy, Michigan. Aside from a handful of prototypes, only 4,697 Typhoons were built by GMC: 2,497 in 1992, and 2,200 in 1993. Unlike regular production Syclones, Typhoons were offered in various color configurations that differed by year, with black/black being the most common. 1991 * Typhoon Prototype (6) 1992 * Black w/ Black (1262 Total) * Black w/ Gray (130 Total) * Frost White w/ Gray (518 Total) * Apple Red w/ Gray (345 Total) * Bright Teal w/ Gray (132 Total) * Forest Green Metallic w/ Gray (82 Total) * Aspen Blue w/ Gray (28 Total) * Radar Blue w/ Radar Blue (2 Total * *) * Raspberry Metallic w/ Raspberry Metallic (2 Total * *) ( * *These 4 Test Colors are included in the totals of the seven original color combinations) 1993 * Black w/ Black (1,008 Total) * Black w/ Gray (98 Total) * Frost White w/ White (532 Total * * *) * Frost White w/ Gray (115 Total) * Apple Red w/ Apple Red (77 Total) * Apple Red w/ Gray (101 Total) * Forest Green Metallic w/ Gray (210 Total) * Garnet Red w/ Gray (24 Total) * Royal Blue Metallic w/ Gray (35 Total * * *) ( * * *Each total includes 1 Radar Blue w/ Radar Blue, for to total of 2 Trucks) ==External links== *(Syclone, Typhoon, Sonoma GT Forum ) *(Syclone, Typhoon, Sonoma GT Database & History ) *(Syclone, Typhoon, Sonoma GT Restoration & Parts ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GMC Typhoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
