"Sure, it looks like a pickup truck. But don’t try to haul anything except tail, because payload isn’t the Syclone’s strong suit. That’s because GMC conducted a sort of mad science experiment on the Syclone. Taking stock, decidedly un-sporting Sonomas off the line, they dropped a turbocharged V6 under the hood, and then bolted on a high-performance all-wheel drive system. Instead of flipping the switch to awaken some sort of deranged old movie monster, the end result was a triumph vastly superior to the sum of its parts. Genuinely fast, remarkably grippy, the Syclone is a hoot to drive. More to the point, it comes close to outperforming a lot of very expensive, exotic cars of the time while costing a whole ton less—much to the irritation of anyone who’d dropped twice the coin on a slower car. The Syclone is slightly lighter than the similarly modified Typhoon SUV, and while there’s a bit more weight over the front end, it performs essentially the same—which is to say, it’s very fast. While the sport truck segment has grown recently, few are as innovative as this AWD mini-truck, and it will take something pretty wild to dethrone the Syclone as the most insane GMC pickup ever."—Official description[1]
The 1991 GMC Syclone is an all-wheel drive sport pickup truck by GMC.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 4, Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Motorsport 6, Forza Horizon 3, in Forza Horizon 4 since Update 28, and in Forza Horizon 5 as part of Series 22.
Synopsis[]
The GMC Syclone is a high-performance variant of the GMC Sonoma compact pickup truck that was only available for the 1991 model year in North America. Featuring an all-wheel drive and a turbocharged V6 engine with 280 hp (209 kW), the Syclone can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds, making it one of the quickest accelerating cars of the 1990s.
As the Syclone was cancelled after the 1991 model year, with only 2995 units produced, GMC offered an SUV version known as the GMC Typhoon for the 1992 to 1993 model years.[2]
