1985 Buick Wildcat Concept Car Specifications
A two-seat, midengine supercar was a departure from virtually every aspect of Buick tradition, as these 1985 Buick Wildcat concept car specifications make clear. Alas, about the only feature of the car that would be seen in Buick showrooms was a version of the 3.8-liter V6.
