The Cadillac XLR-V – Everything, Plus A Supercharger!
A supercharged version of the XLR featuring 443 HP and 414 T featuring 4 intercoolers, 6 speed automatic, larger brakes, 19 inch wheels. The supercharged model does 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds and does the quarter mile in 13 seconds. This car looks as good as it is fast, but if performance is strictly what you are after, then the Corvette Z06, which has over a hundred more horsepower priced about $20,000 less, is the way to go.
With a sticker price of over 100,000 dollars, this car is definitely General Motor’s most expensive vehicles. But what you get is a unique one of a kind looking car, with performance to match. Because of its limited production run, it is sure to become a collectors item as well as a classic.
Unfortunately it has been confirmed that the XLR will cease production in 2009.
The Cadillac XLR was originally created as a luxury performance vehicle. Because of its tremendous price tag, the largest Cadillac has offered yet, it did not sell well. This is why it is scheduled to stop production in 2009.
