2015 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition - Top Speed
Both the Sonoma-based Syclone and Jimmy-based Typhoon used a turbocharged and highly modified version of the 4. 3-liter V-6, sported lowered suspensions, bigger brakes, and an all-wheel-drive setup. The Syclone was capable of hitting 60 in a blistering 4. 3 seconds on its way to a quarter-mile run of 13. 6 seconds. This "sport truck" sports a bone-stock, 285-horsepower, 4. 3-liter, EcoTec3 V-6 found in the base Sierra. Of course, for some extra scratch, customers can upgrade to the 355-horsepower, 5. 3-liter, EcoTec3 V-8. The story continues throughout the rest of the truck. Stock brakes, stock tires, and stock suspension. GMC has included plenty of upgrades in the Elevation Edition, though they consist of purely cosmetic changes. UPDATE 01/21/2015: GMC announced prices for the special edition Sierra Elevation which goes on sale this month. Prices will range from $34,865 for a 2WD model equipped with the standard 4. 3L V-6 and up to $39,890 for the 4WD version equipped with the 5. 3L V-8 engine.
