To the knowledgeable driver, the Cadillac name has come to signify exhilarating performance, innovative luxury, dramatic style and ever-advancing technologies that enhance your safety, comfort and enjoyment. Of all the superb vehicles in the Cadillac family, none exemplifies these characteristics quite as boldly as the XLR luxury roadster. The Cadillac XLR — and coming soon, the 460-horsepower high performance XLR-V — both deliver a driving experience of extraordinary sophistication, regardless of whether you're cruising along an urban boulevard or slicing down a winding country lane. Driving simply doesn't get any better
The Performance Is Irresistible. The Refinement, Uncanny
The XLR's smooth, 320 hp 4.6 litre Northstar V8 engine is replete with some of today's most advanced technologies. Variable Valve Timing, electronic throttle control, polymer-coated pistons and countless other high-tech features are all part of XLR's repertoire.
The Fastest-Reacting Suspension In The World
Thanks to a unique electromagnetic shock absorber technology, XLR's Magnetic Ride Control suspension can vary the damping setting at each of the XLR's four wheels up to 1000 times per second. The result: agile handling and a comfortably controlled ride in all driving conditions.
A More Controlled Kind Of Cruise
XLR's radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control makes highway driving more relaxed and enjoyable. Any time you encounter slower-moving traffic ahead, your XLR's radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control automatically eases the throttle and applies the brakes, if necessary, to maintain a safe following distance.
Now You See It. Now You Don't
At your command, XLR transforms itself quickly and easily from weather-tight coupe to open-air roadster. The hardtop lowers at the touch of a button in near silence. The whole process takes less than 30 seconds.
Details Fit For The Runways Of Paris And Milan
XLR's key fob and analogue instruments come by their elegant, refined appearance honestly. Both were designed especially for Cadillac by the renowned Italian jewellery house Bvlgari.
