  Oldsmobile Toronado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Toronado was a two-door coupe automobile produced by the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors from 1966 to 1992.
Conceived as Oldsmobile's full-size personal luxury car and competing directly with the Ford Thunderbird and Buick Riviera, the Toronado is historically significant as the first front-wheel drive automobile produced in the United States since the demise of the the Cord in 1937.
The Toronado's UPP enabled the interior to have a completely flat floor, but interior space was restricted by the close-coupled, fastback styling.

 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado of Jay Leno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Leno was attracted to the Toronado for its distinctive styling and historical significance — it was the first high-volume front-wheel-drive car produced by GM.
Reaching the 1,000-horsepower threshold for the Toronado’s engine was achieved with an intercooled twin-turbocharger system pumping 19 pounds of boost into a GM Performance Parts prototype 425-cubic-inch small-block crate engine.
The original Toronado’s heavy front engine/transaxle combination placed a large mass over the front wheels, rather than spreading it along the driveline and out to a rear axle.

The major changes were the replacement of the original 425 in³ (7.0 L) V8 with the new 455 in³ (7.5 L) in 1968, and the disappearance of the hidden headlights in 1970.
In the later years of the model, new features were mostly confined to styling, and in 1977 and 1978 the XS model with an unconventional "bent-glass" (image) rear window was made available.
