2012 Buick Regal GS
Before it is a concept car and now it become real. 2012 Buick Regal GS with sportier expression of the Regal sport sedan that went on sale in 2010 and has attracted new buyers to the Buick family.
The Buick Regal GS powered by a high-output, exclusive Ecotec 2.0L turbocharged engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the GS delivers an estimated 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 295 lb.-ft. of torque for a 0-60 mph performance of less than seven seconds (estimated). Buick’s Interactive Drive Control System is standard on the GS, allowing drivers to customize the driving experience by changing the suspension settings and steering sensitivity between three modes: standard, sport and GS.
