'87 Buick Regal GNX

Description[]

The Buick GNX is a limited-production high-performance version of the second generation Buick Regal. Conceived by Dave Sharpe, Mike Doble and Chuck Jensen, the GNX was designed in partnership with McLaren Performance Technologies and American Specialty Cars. The GNX is powered by a 3.8L Buick V6 with a Garrett AiResearch T-3 turbocharger with a ceramic impeller making 300 horsepower; the car advertised to be "the Grand National to end all Grand Nationals". Dragstrip performance of the GNX was noted to be superior to the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 930. The cars were only produced for a single year: 1987. 547 were produced.

While very similar in appearance to the older Buick Grand National casting, both are two different castings done by different designers; the premium casting is longer and wider than the mainline casting, and features additional details not present on the mainline casting. The casting also features hidden engine detail which may indicate that a version with an opening or removable hood may have been planned.
