The 1986 Buick Regal T-Type was a remarkable car, especially for
its time. Let's delve into the specifications of this turbocharged
beauty:
Engine Options:
The turbocharged V-6 engine was the star of the show. It bumped the
horsepower from 105 to 165 on the 231-cubic-inch V-6. This engine
was installed in the Regal Sport Coupe.
If you opted for the entry-level or Limited trims, you could choose
between two naturally aspirated V-6s or a two- or four-barrel
305-cubic-inch V-81.
Less than 10 percent of Regals were equipped with the turbo
engine.
Design and Evolution:
The 1986 Buick Regal underwent several changes over the years. In
1981, it received a more streamlined restyle.
Initially offered only as a two-door coupe, a sedan and station
wagon briefly joined the lineup.
The biggest transformation occurred in 1984 with the introduction
of the Buick Grand National, a menacing blacked-out version with
performance enhancements and overdrive.
The Grand National package included suspension modifications, a
different rear axle ratio, and, of course, that iconic blacked-out
look.
Performance:
The intercooler system on the '86 Turbo Regal provided an
impressive 18-percent increase in power and a 10-percent gain in
torque over the non-intercooled 1985 model.
The base engine was a 2-barrel carbureted 110-hp version of the
same 231-cubic-inch V6.
You could also opt for a 140-hp 4-barrel-equipped, 307-cubic-inch,
Oldsmobile-built V82.
In summary, the 1986 Buick Regal T-Type was a blend of style,
power, and innovation-a true classic of its era!
