目前还不清楚将于新款GS车型是作为2018款车型于今年秋季亮相还是作为2019款车型于明年亮相。但不管怎么说，新车将是一款全新车型并将搭载与雪佛兰科迈罗一样的3.6升V6引擎。在科迈罗上，该引擎功率为335马力，高于现行版GS的259马力。预计在GS上，该引擎功率至少能达到310马力，与别克君越一样。与引擎搭配的是八速双离合，而前轮驱动版本搭载的是九速自动变速器。与君威主流车型一样，GS版本也将采用五门Sportback车型。从谍照看，该车采用的梯形排气尾管与后保险杠集成在一起，而它的侧踏板也与即将发布的君威TourX旅行车一样。这次曝光的格栅采用漂亮的深色和金属网格，而非标准版的垂直竖条。如果君威GS功率真的达到335马力并提供全轮驱动，该车将是GS系列中的高性能车型。
Buick Regal GS Spied In Michigan With Menacing Front Grille
It isn’t yet known if the GS will debut this fall as a 2018 model, or sometime next year as a 2019 add-on, but when it does arrive, it will most likely be all-wheel drive with the same 3.6-liter V6 found in the Chevrolet Camaro.
In that application the engine makes 335 horsepower, which would certainly be quite a jump from the 259 horsepower found in the current GS. At the very least we expect the engine to produce 310 ponies – the same amount currently found in the Buick LaCrosse. The transmission could be an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic versus the nine-speed auto slated for the front-wheel drive models.
As with the main Regal line, the GS promises to be a five-door Sportback. From the spy photos we see trapezoid exhaust outlets integrated into the rear bumper as well as side sills similar to the forthcoming Regal TourX wagon. The exposed grille is deliciously dark with what appears to be a mesh pattern versus the standard Regal’s vertical bar design.
If the newest Regal GS does indeed offer 335 horsepower with all-wheel drive, it should be quite a performer worthy of the GS legacy.
