Built to steal market share from its European competition, Cadillac pulled out all the stops with the XLR-V making it the quickest accelerating and most expensive Cadillac to date at the time of its debut.
Identified by its attractive V-series mesh grille and additional badging, the XLR-V gains exclusive eighteen-inch wheels, polished exhaust tips, and the hood bulge. The stylish cabin, found under a sleek retractable hardtop, is dressed in French seams and top-grade leather on the dash, door panels, and console, as well as on the protective roll hoops and their surrounding trim pieces.
Under the hood resides a powerful, 443-hp, supercharged V-8, which accelerates the XLR-V from 0 to 60 mph in a claimed 4.6 seconds. This bespoke engine was substantially revised by GM with performance parts including a new block and heavy-duty pistons to handle the added demands of the roots style blower.
At the rear of the car the six-speed automatic transmission is extremely smooth in both automatic and manumatic modes, a setting that trips the Magnetic Ride Control into a sportier suspension calibration keeping the car flat on initial turn-in and nicely balanced during aggressive cornering.
The car for sale here is an excellent condition, well maintained, low mileage example that is begging for a night out on the town or rip through curvy mountain roads. Don't wait! Call us today to make it yours!
