SPORTS SEDAN PERFORMANCE TO A NEW LEVEL
FOR BUICK

seconds
Features exclusive, GS-only high-output version of the Ecotec 2.0L turbo engine
with 255 hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque
Buick’s Interactive Drive Control System allows drivers to change the suspension
settings and steering sensitivity
Exclusive, racing-inspired exterior and interior appointments

MIAMI – Buick this evening reveals the production version of the 2012 Regal GS, an even
sportier expression of the Regal sport sedan that went on sale earlier this year and has attracted
new buyers to the Buick family. 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.
“Built on the performance foundation of the Regal, the Regal GS was designed as an even
sportier expression of responsive performance and style,” said John Schwegman, vice president
of Buick marketing. “The driving experience is powerful and spirited; and the GS represents the
next entry in Buick’s product renaissance.”
The Regal GS will be unveiled this evening at a consumer event in Miami. It goes on sale in the
second half of 2011. Pricing has not yet been announced.
Product highlights include:
Exclusive Ecotec 2.0L turbocharged and intercooled engine rated at an estimated 255
horsepower (190 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm)
Six-speed manual transmission, with six-speed automatic with Driver Shift Control to be
offered later
Interactive Drive Control System with GS mode
Four-wheel independent system with HiPerStrut front suspension
High-performance four-wheel disc brake system with Brembo front calipers
Standard 19-inch, 5-Twin Spoke alloy wheels and all-season tire and optional 20-inch, 5-
Twin Spoke polished alloy wheels with performance tires.
The exterior design features unique front and rear fascias, with the front fascia incorporating
prominent, vertical air intake slots and specific grille treatment – with the vertical elements
accented in a satin-metallic finish. The rear fascia has a pair of integrated, satin-metallic
trapezoidal exhaust outlets. Rocker panel extensions and an integrated rear spoiler are also
woven into the design. The GS cuts a sportier stance, too, with a slightly lower ride height than
other models and aggressive 19-inch, 5-Twin Spoke alloy wheels and all-season tires (20-inch, 5-
Twin Spoke polished alloy wheels with performance tires are optional).
Inside is a racing-inspired, flat-bottom sport steering wheel and metal sport pedals, along with
leather-appointed 12-way power-adjustable sport driver and front passenger heated seats, which
include four-way power lumbar. The GS-specific black interior is accented with satin-finish
elements on the instrument panel, steering wheel and console, while the instrument panel glows
white when the driver engages the GS mode of the Interactive Drive Control System (IDCS).
