Handling the Cadillac XLR is a pleasure with the Magnetic Ride Control system, which provides electronically controlled, magnetic-fluid based real-time damping. The ride is ... enhanced by a new performance car architecture. Patented by GM, it comprises steel hydroformed perimeter frame rails, an enclosed structural "tunnel," aluminum cockpit structure and balsa-cored composite floors.

The XLR is a contemporary expression of Cadillac's heritage of landmark design and advanced technology. Inspired by stealth fighter aircraft design, XLR creates a dramatic presence of modern luxury and performance. The XLR’s strong grille, for example, harkens back to Cadillac’s heritage but expresses itself in a new way. The vertical headlamps, on the other hand, express the division’s current design philosophy.
