ORIGIN OF THE "WE4" PROJECT >

THE BUICK REGAL TURBOS WERE THE FASTEST PRODUCTION CARS BUILT IN THE 1980's - IN THE LAST AND BEST YEAR OF1987. THE NEED AROSE WITHIN THE FBI FOR A CHASE VEHICLE THAT COULD OUTRUN ANYTHING. INCLUDING THE GRAND NATIONAL - THIS LED TO THE "WE4" PROJECT AT BUICK - THEIR ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS ALREADY HAD THE STRONGEST MOTOR AND CHASSIS IN THE GRAND NATIONAL - TO CREATE A FASTER AND BETTER HANDLING CAR. THE SIMPLE SOLUTION WAS TO BUILD A GRAND NATIONAL WITH LESS WEIGHT - THIS WAS ACHIEVED IN THE "WE4" BY SUBSTITUTING LIGHTER ALUMINUM ALLOY COMPONENTS FOR IRON AND STEEL PARTS USED IN THE GRAND NATIONAL - LIGHTER PARTS INCLUDED; BRAKE DRUMS. SOME CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND ALLOY TURBINE WHEELS -

RESULTS >

MAJOR 1987 AUTO MAGAZINE COMPARISON ROAD TESTS CONFIRMED. THE "WE4" LIGHTWEIGHT MODEL OUTPERFORMED THE GRAND NATIONAL IN EVERY TEST CONDUCTED - THE HIGHER POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO IN THE "WE4" DELIVERD THE FOLLOWING RESULTS: (FASTER 0-60 AND IN THE QUARTER MILE - BETTER HANDLING. WITH QUICKER TIME THROUGH THE SLALOM COURSE AND HIGHER G-FORCE NUMBER ON THE SKID PAD - PLUS. SHORTER STOPPING DISTANCE FROM ALL SPEEDS) - THE "WE4" WAS ALSO DESCRIBED AS "MORE RESPONSIVE AND CONFIDENCE INSPIRING THAN THE GRAND NATIONAL" -

MOST TEST DRIVERS AND EDITORS LIKED THE CLASSIER LOOK OF THE TURBINE WHEELS WITH THE FULLY BLACKED OUT BODY AND COMMENTED "THE "WE4" PUT ITS OWNERS IN A MORE EXCLUSIVE CLUB WITH GREATER POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE VALUE" -  (A TOTAL OF ONLY 1. 47 WERE BUILT. COMPARED TO OVER 30. 00 GRAND NATIONALS)

BUICK DID A MAJOR PROMOTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE GRAND NATIONAL AND THE GNX. BUT NOT THE "WE4" - LIKE THE HEMI 'CUDA. THIS IS ANOTHER "BEST KEPT SECRET" THAT SHOULD ALSO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE CLASSIC -

THIS IS ONE FOR THE DISCRIMINATING COLLECTOR -
