Powerful V6
| Bengal owes some of its exceptional handling and sculptural exterior appearance to an innovative powertrain. Its supercharged, 3.4-liter V6 engine, which generates 250 horsepower, is transverse-mounted with the six-speed automatic transmission in front of it, rather than behind. This new drivetrain creates a shorter front overhang and a more rearward center of gravity that gives Bengal great handling on curves.
| The smooth power of the engine and precisefront-wheel-drive handling give this roadster self-assurance and control in all kinds of driving situations, Lyon said.

Voice Controls
| Quiet Servant, first shown on Buickâs LaCrosse and Cielo concepts, is back -- featuring voice- activated controls from Visteon Corporation and a reconfigurable, color head-up display that shows gauges on demand. This enables the driver to control the car and its systems with voice commands or a four-position joystick on the steering wheel. As a result, the dashboard is simple and elegant and the driver operates the car with both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
| Freed of the usual gauges and knobs, the entire dashboard is in fact one large flat-panel speaker from NXT Audio, anchoring Bengalâs premium audio system. Altogether, there are five of these unobtrusive speakers which envelop the interior in audiophile-quality sound.
| Buick General Manager Roger W. Adams said that one of the main benefits of the Quiet Servant package is to reduce the number of distractions to the driver. âThis design eliminates gauges and controls â except when you need them â and allows the driver to concentrate on the road.â

Best Of The Best
| Detroit - AutoWeek magazine has named the Buick Bengal - the first car designed with a major sports figure in mind, Tiger Woods - 'Best of the Best' Concept Car of the Year among all concepts introduced at various international auto shows this year.
| Bengal is a sleekly sculptured roadster that looks like a two-seat convertible - but its looks are deceiving. A small third door behind the drivers' door and a retractable tonneau cover reveal space for two additional passengers or two custom golf bags. Woods' influence is further evident in Bengal's cutting-edge sound system and engine performance. In addition to "wheels forward" architecture, Bengal features a supercharged 250-horsepower 3.4 liter V-6 engine and voice-activated controls.
| The Buick Bengal was introduced in January 2001 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
| AutoWeek's 'Best of the Best' award this year was picked from concept cars introduced at auto shows in Paris, Detroit and Geneva.
| Against its competitors, one AutoWeek editor said the Bengal "looks like the most fun of the group to drive." Another said, "In the looks category, it's a stunner."
