The main difference between the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V and its XLR stablemates is
its engine. The XLR-V is a 2-door luxury sports coupe with a collapsible hard
top. Powered by a 4.4L supercharged 443hp Northstar V8 engine, the performance
specs on this supercar defy description. If you have a spare $100,000 to drop on
this beauty, add it to your collection, hooked up with a six-speed automatic
transmission with Driver Shift Control.
The interior of the XLR-V epitomizes Cadillac craftsmanship with sumptuous
leather touches, faux-suede upholstery, and exotic ebony-colored wood with
distinctive grain patterns. Aluminum is used to accent the instrumentation and
controls throughout the cabin. The cooled or heated bucket seats provide fully
automatic adjustment of height, leg room, and upper and lower lumbar support.
Cow hide on the steering wheel provides a comfortable grip while fingertip
controls for audio and cruise control are perfectly positioned.
Safety is of paramount importance in such a powerful vehicle and it is no more
true than in the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V. Look for head and thorax protection for
the driver and passenger, as well as side impact airbags. Reassuring also are
the activation of OnStar coverage for 1 full year, and the presence of
three-point seat belts for both driver and passenger. Be ever vigilant of every
driving dynamic with the built-in tire pressure monitor and Bulgari-designed
instrumentation.
The exterior lines of the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V emulate the sharp edged design of
stealth fighters, exuding an aura of understated fury. Look for XLR-V models in
black, platinum, red, and blue. With its stacked headlight array and large,
distinctive emblem, the leading edge of the XLR-V is a portrait of strength and
character. The 2008 Cadillac XLR-V is the ultimate statement of American
performance and engineering excellence. |
