The Buick Bengal is a concept car roadster designed and built by Buick . It was first shown to the public at the 2001 North American International Auto in Detroit, Michigan . The Bengal was an attempt to rejuvenate the Buick line, and make it seem more appealing to younger people. It was powered by a supercharged 3.4L convert 250 hp abbr on V6, which was mated to a six speed automatic transmission. The transmission was mounted ahead of the engine, to allow a more forward placement of the front wheels to improve handling. Though a 2 seat roadster in general design, the rear decklid can be lifted to reveal two extra seats. One of the most desirable features of the Bengal is its voice activated controls. The car is able to distinguish over 100 commands given to it by voice, which can operate various things from the headlights, windshield wipers, and convertible top, to the heater, navigation system, seat adjustments, and cruise control. The system was named Quiet Servant and it was developed by Visteon Corporation. The dashboard is free of traditional gauges, everything instead is displayed on demand on a single flat panel screen. In 2001 Buick claimed they wanted to put the Bengal into production, but plans were shelved until 2004 when they revealed the Buick Velite Velite concept, which is a more realistic roadster design.
