Have you heard about the all new Buick Regal coming out in just a couple of months? Well GM has released a concept car that will serve as an even more aggressive and sporty option to the Regal CXL.“We designed the Regal GS to explore the appeal of a high-performance variant of the Regal,” said Craig Bierley, product marketing director for Buick, in a news release.
The Regal GS is equipped with a 255-horsepower turbocharged 2-liter Ecotec engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, all-wheel drive, big Brembo brakes and massive 20-inch wheels and tires. The interior has been modified with typical tuner accoutrements, including a sport steering wheel, metal pedals, a custom black interior and Recaro sport seats.
While G.M calls the Regal GS a “show car,” it’s more of a customized car than a full-blown concept. It’s also a natural progression for the Regal model, which Buick is positioning as a premium sports sedan. Buick more than hinted that the GS could be a “21st-century successor to Buick’s Gran Sport heritage.” And when you take that into consideration, the Regal GS probably doesn’t go far enough in a category that’s loaded with heavy hitters with a minimum of 300 horsepower.
