A recent announcement that comes from General Motors reveals that all 2011 Buick Regal models sold starting this fall will offer Flex-fuel capability. Currently, GM’s Epsilon II platform based Regal comes with a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter four cylinder engine that offers 184 hp. As per the new plans, a turbocharged 2.0 liter Ecotec four cylinder will deliver 220 hp when it becomes available around the end of this year.

According to the Detroit automaker, as the 2.0-liter direct-injected turbo four starts arriving in late August, GM will make both units available with gasoline and E85 ethanol. The company will hence make the turbo unit its first series production E85 turbocharged and direct injected engine.
