Did you hear of the Saudi Syclones? Didn't sell so they shipped them back to GM, who then sold them by lotto to GM employees




Similar to the GN these turbo charged V6 all wheel drive beasts spanked everything around when they rolled out of GM in 1991. Even the Vette lost.

They only made 2,995 trucks, and Car and Driver recorded it's 0-60mph sprint time of 4.3 seconds - quicker than any Ferrari or Corvette available. 113 of the 2,995 Syclone trucks were shipped out of the country as export sales. 31 of those export sales were returned unsold from Saudi Arabia to the GMC facility in Pontiac, Michigan. These were referred to as the "Saudi" Syclones. 30 were sold at lottery to GMC employees and one was used for parts.

and it only sold for 17 thou at auction
