GMC Typhoon Performance Overview
Built for a brief 1992 to 1993 run, the GMC Typhoon concentrated its performance identity into one turbocharged, gasoline-only formula. Across 5 independently verified tests covering both model years, every result comes from the same basic package: the 280-hp LB4 turbo V6 and all-wheel drive. The earliest benchmark arrived immediately, when a 1992 SUV recorded 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds, establishing the model’s quickest verified launch at the time, while the slowest published 1992 run reached 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
Through 1993, the Typhoon’s measured performance remained tightly grouped rather than redefining itself with major mechanical changes. A 1993 Bryson-Cole test matched the line’s best 5.3-second 0-60 time and delivered the quickest quarter-mile at 14.1 seconds at 96.7 mph, while another 1993 SUV run reached 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Taken together, the full sample averages 5.6 seconds to 60 mph and 14.32 seconds in the quarter-mile at 94.4 mph. Today, with only these two model years and one generation represented, the Typhoon stands as a short-production GMC performance SUV defined by a narrow but consistently quick set of verified test results.

How we verify GMC Typhoon performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same GMC Typhoon trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
