2019 GMC Syclone: 455hp
Only 100 are being produced by Specialty Vehicle Engineering (used to be SLP). It costs an extra $40k on top of your 2019 donor Canyon. Still, pretty damn cool!

I love the idea. I was in love with this and the Typhoon as a younger lad!
That said the power output seems low for today's standard and the "concept" of what the Syclone is/was. And they should have done something different with the grill.

It'll still be plenty quick. A Canyon Ext. Cab weighs ~4,000lbs. The SRT-10 Ram was 500hp and weighed over 5,000lbs.

70 - 80 grand (depending on what kind of optioned truck you start with) is ...ahem...a bit much. But they may sell them. Who knows.
GM could do the same thing for 30+ grand less. Will they? I wish they would.

At least it's not as bad as their Yenko Camaros and Corvettes. The Stage II (1,000hp) Camaro adds ~$67-70k to the price of your donor 2019 1LE. The Stage II Corvette adds ~$75-80k to the price of your donor 2019 Grand Sport. Yikes! They make 25 of each per year and all of the 2019 Camaros are sold.

When was the SRT-10? 10 years ago or so? I just would have thought there would have been power based on today's "standards" for "tuner" cars and the namesake of the car. Yeah they won't have any problems selling them. I think it's bad ass they brought the name back.

I think it's pretty cool that SVE took the liberty of giving GM loyalists a nasty little truck!

500 hp - 8.3L I'd say there is more than enough "tuner" power to qualify as a higher "standard" |

Wasn't talking about a "higher standard" from an "efficiency" standpoint...they've obviously gotten a lot out of the 3.6. Wonder if they will bring back the Typhoon as well?

How? With no Jimmy (or anything really like it) to go off of, it'd be an extremely expensive conversion.

That'd be the icing on the cake, but I don't see it happening. The only logical model is the Terrain. My wife has a '19 Denali and while it is an extremely nice vehicle that I enjoy driving from time to time, I can't envision too many people are modifying theirs. Aftermarket parts are plentiful for the Colorado and Canyon, but the Terrain...not so much. If SVE was determined to do it, it would take a lot engineering and producing one-off parts.

70K or so for 450HP doesnt work for me but I do like the idea of bring back the Syclone. I had a fully built 11 sec 91 Syclone and man that thing was fun fun fun to drive. It was upgraded from head to toe and it launched like a raped ape when you spooled it up from a dead stop. Amazing how far you can push a properly built V6 and how fast it can be with the right mods.
