When General Motors revealed the Buick sedan sports car in production trim at the Detroit Motor Show, the company estimates that the Buick Regal GS will be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph of less than 7 seconds.
Now also General Motors (GM) announced that the Buick Regal GS engines are injected turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder SAE certified to provide a total of 270 horsepower (201 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400Nm), and expected performance of 0 – 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, 0.9 seconds slower than his rival, the Opel Insignia OPC with the capacity V6 engine features 325 hp and AWD.

“The Regal GS 2.0L turbo delivers the highest specific output of any production engine GM has ever offered, and at 135 hp per liter is the most power dense engine ever certified by SAE,” said Mike Anderson, Ecotec global chief engineer and program manager.
“We’ve been combining direct injection and variable valve timing with boosted engines since 2006, and there’s no question the Regal GS turbo has the responsiveness and acceleration of some V-6s, while delivering the fuel economy you’d expect of a four-cylinder,” Anderson added.
The new 2012 Regal GS will go on sale in the States this fall with prices to be announced closer to launch.
