From Wikipedia :
The
Oldsmobile Toronado
is a personal luxury car that was produced by Oldsmobile from 1966 to 1992. Designed to compete with the Ford Thunderbird and General Motors' own Buick Riviera, the Toronado is historically significant as the first U.S.-produced front-wheel drive automobile since the demise of the Cord in 1937.
The unusual Toronado powertrain, which combined an engine and transmission into an engine bay no larger than a conventional rear-wheel drive car, was dubbed the
Unitized Power Package
(
UPP
). They proved so over-built the UPP was employed basically unchanged in the 1970s GMC motorhome.
As debuted, the innovative Toronado featured such GM developments as the: Heavy-duty Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission (named THM425 in FWD form)Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetorSpherical shaped exhaust-manifold flange gaskets, which provided freedom of movement in the exhaust system and prevented leaksDraft-Free ventilation system, which reduced wind noise considerably by eliminating conventional front-door vent windows Firestone also designed an 8.85 x 15 tire especially for the Toronado called the
TFD
(
T
oronado-
F
ront-
D
rive) tire. It had a stiffer sidewall than normal, and the tread and stylishly thin white pin-stripe were also unique.
To power the car, Oldsmobile engineers selected a conventional, although performance-boosted, Olds 425 cu in (7 L) Super Rocket V8 rated at 385 hp (287 kW) and 475 ft·lb (644 N·m) of torque. It provided an increase of 10 hp (7.5 kW) over the Starfire 425, and an increase of 20 hp (15 kW) over the standard 425 engine in the Ninety-Eight. The Toronado's intake manifold was unique and was depressed down to allow for engine hood clearance.
