📰 Auto News SLP Teases 300 Horsepower Buick GNX Concept

[Mook]

Like they did with ZL1 it appears that the boys at SLP have gone and acquired the rights for the 'GNX' nameplate...and they intend to use it.

This is the first rendering of the SLP GNX. This Regal-based sport sedan is looking to be the GS Buick should've built. SLP says that this one should crank out "more than" 300 horsepower (up from 270 on the GS) and, if this rendering is to be believed, will actually look special. (Note: the Regal itself looks very clean, but the GS is, well, pretty bland for a sporty model.)

We should know more about this one in the coming months, but if you've got any interest you should hit up SLP sooner rather than later. However the final product turns out, they're only building 500 of 'em.

So 40 horsepower and a hood bulge?

 

[Mook]

[EmersonHart13]

The should just import the drive train from the European version.

 

[daturbosix]

This.

Plus 300 I'm assuming flywheel hp is weak as fuck.

 

[Smokinhot]

what if it was 399? It said "more than" 300

 

[Jfrost]

I'd still rock one, the new GS looks awesome.

 

[daturbosix]

just to let you guys know,the 87 grand nationals were only rated at 230hp.

 

[Bru]

The 270hp in the GS feels weak as shit. They're gonna need more than 30 hp.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

We're they also fwd and weigh nearly 2 tons?

 

[PANDA]

300HP might have been nice in 1998.

This car needs a twin turbo 3.6

This car needs a twin turbo 3.6

And AWD.

I hope they do good by this. I'm sure people have pulled close to 400 out of these but SLP still has to have some sort of warranty on these things. So they have to play it safe

 

[TonzKnock-G]

400 hp out of what?

 

[RICH17]

400 hp out of what?

Out of these motors. I dont remember where I seen it but there are people modding these already. I think it was a Opel version tho

 

[PANDA]

SLP is probably going to want $50K for this 4-banger shitbox

 

[Fish]

Cute, 300HP.

God I hate you as a Ford owner now.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Cute, 300HP.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Gay. SLP has sucked since the Firehawk died. Ford blows.

Edit: The real firehawk, not the abortion G8 version.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I have also been less impressed with SLP as of late...

 

[Frank Dukes]

I hope they do good by this.

this.
