The Cadillac XLR, with its sporty convertible design and powerful performance, was a luxury roadster that graced the roads from 2004 to 2009. Its sleek, low-slung body, inspired by the Cadillac Cien concept car, housed a spacious and luxurious interior, packed with advanced technology and comfort features. The XLR's signature retractable hardtop system allowed for both open-air driving thrills and weather-tight comfort, offering a unique blend of sportiness and elegance. Under the hood, the XLR was initially powered by a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine, producing 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, providing spirited acceleration and refined driving characteristics.

In 2006, Cadillac introduced the high-performance XLR-V model, which boasted a supercharged 4.4-liter Northstar V8 engine, generating a potent 443 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This performance upgrade allowed the XLR-V to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, making it a serious competitor in the luxury sports car segment. The XLR-V featured enhanced suspension and braking systems, along with aggressive styling cues that distinguished it from its standard counterpart. The XLR, in both its standard and V configurations, remained a stylish and capable luxury roadster throughout its production run, appealing to drivers who sought a blend of performance, luxury, and open-air driving enjoyment.
