Brenda Priddy and her crew of spy shooters grabbed some recent up-close-and-personal shots of the 2011 Buick Regal GS playing in the rain.

Under the hood of the GS is a 2.0L, turbocharged four-cylinder good for at least 255 hp says Priddy, although she reports that some sources have suggested that the final number may now be closer to 270 hp. Either way, that amount of power going to just the front wheels would spell trouble, so Priddy says that the GS will have all-wheel drive.

Other upgrades include Brembo brakes, sportier wheels and tires and a new front fascia with larger air intakes. While the black prototype spotted here did not have the final exhaust tips, a previous sighting of the vehicle (a white Regal GS) revealed the production chrome tips.

Priddy says to watch for production of the Regal GS to start late in Q1, or early in Q2, of 2011 at Oshawa.

On May 14, 2010, Dorian Comeau, owner of House of Boost in Lenexa, Kansas, was severely injured while testing a 1,500 hp LS-powered off-road racer, which his company had just completed. The injury has left Comeau paralyzed with untold and still increasing medical expenses. To help deal with these expenses, members of the industry and friends of Comeau banned together and established the Drive to Survive event.

Set for October 16, at the Wrap Factory in Edwardsville, Kansas, Drive to Survive will include a car and motorcycle show, a silent auction, food, a raffle and, at Comeau's request, a seatbelt safety-awareness program. The goal of the event is to help Comeau recover some of the unwieldy and mounting medical expenses, therefore, any vehicle can be registered for the show.

Members of the specialty-equipment community are encouraged to help out this true friend of the industry. Donations, including company T-shirts, products, industry or race memorabilia and more, are welcome contributions for this event and will go a long way in ensuring its ultimate success. In addition, any support provided will earn each company prominent logo placement on promotional material and banners produced and used during this event. So, be certain to include your logo along with your contribution.

Send (non-monetary) donations to:

AEROMOTIVE INC.
Attn: Jared Cox

Cash is also welcome, and more information regarding monetary donations is available at www.thedrive2survive.com.
