Cadillac Xlr: Cadillac Xlr-V
built 805 days ago
Luxury at its best, the Cadillac XLR-V boasts of the quality French leather seats, dashboard and door interiors. While some would consider this the usual offering with such luxury cars, convenience and comfort for people who would ride on this Cadillac series is still the main point of emphasis for potential owners.

The 443-horsepower XLR enters its second model year in 2007, the quickest and most agile Cadillac ever offered (... see the Cadillac XLR-V). Two entirely new special-edition XLR models – XLR Platinum and Passion Red – add exclusivity and elegance to Cadillac’s landmark roadster. Platinum, first used on a special Escalade model, is Cadillac’s designator for special-edition vehicles.
cadillac If you know your Cadillac V-models you'll realize that the numbers correlate almost exactly to the previously released STS-V, and like the large sedan the XLR-V features a supercharged version of the celebrated 4.4-litre Northstar V8, now dubbed Northstar-SC. And as far as propelling the welterweight (well at least compared to the 1,920 kilo/4,232 lb SL55) XLR-V forward with any greater momentum than the stock model, the positive displacement intercooled supercharger adds a 120-horsepower and 115 lb-ft advantage, which should make for some rather quick 0 to 100 km/h time trials - Cadillac is boasting less than five seconds. What's more, the XLR-V delivers 90 percent of its peak torque between 2,200 and 6,000 rpm resulting in an extremely consistent and controlled release of power.
