When you think of Sunday drives and Buick, you may think about elderly folks cruising around at 10mph under the speed limit, but you would be wrong. In fact, Buick recently took part in Silver State Classic Challenge at Nevada with its new Regal GS. The Silver State Classic is a race along a 90 mile of Nevada highway. The winner is determined by who can compete the 90 mile course fastest, while retaining the average speed set by each individual class.

Competing in the 120mph class, Buick finished their run in 45 minutes, a fantastic time for their class. The effort was good enough for a first place finish in a 37 member strong class. All of this was done in a showroom stock Buick Regal GS. Buick has a strong history of racing; hopefully events like this are foreshadowing their return to racing.

When you are Bugatti, good is not good enough until someone calls your ideas crazy. For some, 800hp is more than sufficient for an executive sedan. However, this is not nearly exceptional enough for Bugatti and it’s new Galibier executive sedan.

Insideline.com reports that Bugatti boss Wolfgang Durheimer has halted the new Galibier because it is not an “argument stopper.” In order for him to be pleased with the car being launched, it must pack much more than the “anemic 800hp” figure. I expect that after he made this proclamation he let out a maniacal laugh and left the room to get back to his lair inside a volcano. We shall see just what the mad scientists at Bugatti cook up to please Wolfgang enough to release the Galibier to Bugatti’s billionaire clientele.
