		The Toronado's UPP enabled the interior to have a completely flat floor, but interior space was restricted by the close-coupled, fastback styling.
		Despite its weight, the 1966 Toronado, with 385 gross horsepower, was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in a bit under 9 seconds and through the standing quarter mile in less than 18 seconds with a trap speed of about 86 mph (137.6 kph).
		Other than the brakes, 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.

	Oldsmobile Toronado Parts - Partstrain.com
		The name “Toronado” was a meaningless word used initially to name a prototype car for the Chevrolet brand that was displayed to the public in a 1963 motor show.
		The first generation of the Oldsmobile Toronado came out to be the most successful, and the succeeding generations have failed to duplicate its success.
		The fourth and last generation Oldsmobile Toronado saw a further downsized car, and the powerful performance that it used to have was never regained—and so was its popularity.

		The Troféo was released as a package in 1987 on the Toronado, one year after the 4th generation Toronado debuted to sagging sales.
		When the Toronado was cancelled in 1992, It left only the Buick Riviera and Cadillac Eldorado as the GM E Body Luxury/Sport Coupes.
		It's thought that what killed the Toronado was the fact that it was downsized from a V8 full size to a V6 midsize in the span of under 10 years, but of course, it said Oldsmobile on it as well.

	Cartype : Oldsmobile Toronado (of Jay Leno)
		Combining the vintage style of the 1966 Olds Toronado with the contemporary punch of a 1,070-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-8 GM Performance Parts prototype crate engine, Jay Leno cruises Burbank, Calif. in a sophisticated blend of classic style and cutting-edge technology.
		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.

	Toronado - San Francisco - Yelp
		For me, Toronado is strictly a daytime place to bring your Rosamunde sausage to, and drink an awesome beer.
		But- Toronado has my heart, and I will continue to have a slight contempt for the chain, mass marketed concept behind the Yardhouse, though I will continue to frequent them for their massive beer selection.
		Toronado is dark, dingy on the inside, has limited seating and a pretty dirty, ghetto bathroom.

	1971 Oldsmobile Toronado Comments - Carsurvey.org
		I remember when I was seven years old, which would have been 1977, I saw a 1971 or 1972 Oldsmobile Toronado for sale in a used car lot called Auto Brokers which was in Madison, N.J. since the 1971 and 1972 Toronado look almost identical I could not distinguish the year.
		A friend of my father had a 1974 Oldsmobile Toronado which shares the same body-shell as the 1971 and 1972, but I think the 1971 and 1972 were more handsome.
		Even though Toronado's had substantial luggage space, there seems to be a great disparity between the size outside and inside of the car.

		The original Toronado cable can be used, with some bracket work and after-market brake cable shorteners as needed.
		The brake actuating levers should be positioned on their shafts as far toward the rear as possible to activate the brakes securely.

		I think the Riviera suffered the most, as the Somerset Regal had most of its styling cues, but the Toronado, Seville, and Eldorado all took a serious sales hit, and never recovered.
		They did try to make the Toronado more massive around 1990 or '91, by tacking about 9 inches to the trunk, but it was too little, too late by that time.
		I saw both a Riviera and Toro from that era ('91-ish), when they tacked on the extra length to the trunk (and revised the roof lines, IIRC).

	Toronado/Eldorado V-8 Adaptation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Starting in 1966 the Oldsmobile Toronado employed a logitudinally mounted V-8 in a front-wheel-drive layout.
		The unmodified factory 350 ci small block Olds V8 and TH-325 transmission that came with the 1979-1981 Toronado is a great choice, though, for this project.
		For the VW based replicas, the next big step is to replace the pan with a cage space frame chassis similar to the Montage "T" that would incorperate the Toronado subframe in the design and construction from the start.
