The engines mentioned will include the L36 Buick V6 engine which would be able to produce around 205 HP. Aside from that, there were two other engines used which will be able to produce 225 HP and 240 HP.

All the combinations combined; the car will be able to accelerate itself from 0-60 mph in 7 seconds. Despite being an old car, it is still pretty nice when compared to nowadays cars, isn’t it?

How is the Design of the Rendered Car?

As for the 2023 Buick Riviera which is made by Oscar Vargas, sources mentioned that the rendered car is smaller than the first generation of Riviera GS—despite it being a digital version only. The overall design seems to be similar to Dodge, but the tri-color logo emblem reminds you that it is a Buick Riviera.

Overall, you can see a ‘so-retro’ car on the rendered version of this Buick Riviera, but it is still cool even if you drive it these days.

The rendered car’s exterior is notable for its vertical headlights combined with the use of advanced LED strips. In addition, the LED strips headlights are housed using traditional lamp housings.

In addition, the 2023 Buick Riviera mock-up has a similar grille with a mesh pattern. According to sources, this is similar to what you can see on Buick Enclave. Low-profile tires are also used in the mock-up version of the Buick Riviera.

Instead, if they are about to make this car comes real, the carmaker will make the car to be equipped with the updated smartphone connectivity, navigation in all trims, driver assistance features, and many others which would bring Riviera to be a high-end car.
