Even before you take your position behind the wheel of the Regal GS, its intensions are made very clear. Its front-end

styling that upholds the boldness of the GS concept car – while the standard 19" alloy wheels create an assertive

presence. You’ll gain an even greater appreciation of the performance capabilities of the GS in less than seven seconds.

That’s the time it takes the 270 horsepower, high-output turbocharged 2.0L ECOTEC

engine to propel the GS from

0–96 km/h (0–60 mph).* That’s a phenomenal power-to-displacement ratio that rivals much more expensive exotic cars.

The engine also incorporates Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and direct injection to help maximize efficiency. In other words,

true performance that answers today’s realities. And the engine is only part of the technological story behind GS.

A High Performance Strut Front Suspension (HiPer-Strut) virtually eliminates torque steer, delivering greater confidence

while cornering. The high-performance theme continues with the advanced stopping power of the Brembo

front

brakes. Even more satisfying, the actual feel of the drive surpasses the anticipation.

WardsAuto World named the 2.0L Regal GS turbo

as one of its 10 Best Engines for 2012.

AS SOPHISTICATED

AS IT IS POWERFUL.

BUICK REGAL REGAL GS

NEVADA OPEN ROAD CHALLENGE

Test driver Bill Rietow put the Regal GS through its paces during the Nevada Open Road Challenge. His assessment:

“ In addition to the strong acceleration from the engine, the chassis maintained its composure well while running across

these closed public roads at high speeds. Likewise, the Brembo

brakes were easy to trust coming hot into a corner.”
