In 1992 GM and Avis tested TravTek, a GPS navigation system with a synthesized voice, in rental Troféos at Orlando's airport.
In 1992, Oldsmobile and Avis quietly piloted a GPS nav system called TravTek in rental Toronado Troéfos at Orlando airport — built-in cell phone and spoken directions included, a decade before nav screens went mainstream.
The third-gen Toronado's independent rear suspension wasn't Oldsmobile's own work — it was designed by Cadillac engineers, and it bought back the rear-seat and trunk room the smaller body had taken away.
From 1974-1976 the Toronado quietly became a GM test bed for driver and passenger airbags — the 'Air Cushion Restraint System' — a full decade before airbags became an industry standard.
Squeezing a big V8 into the front-drive Toronado took an odd trick: the automatic's torque converter wasn't bolted to the gearset at all — it spun it through a silent Hy-Vo chain.
The Toronado's speedometer looked like a slot machine: a fixed needle stayed still while a rotating drum of numbers spun past behind it, climbing as the car gained speed.
