The 2009 Cadillac XLR-V is a high-performance luxury roadster, representing the pinnacle of Cadillac's engineering prowess at the time. It built upon the success of the standard XLR, offering a heightened level of performance and exclusivity. Powering this sleek two-seater is a supercharged 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine, producing a potent 443 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. This engine, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, allows the XLR-V to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 4.4 seconds. The XLR-V's performance is further enhanced by a specially tuned suspension, larger brakes, and unique 19-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance tires. The exterior design features aggressive styling cues, including a unique front fascia, side skirts, and rear diffuser, setting the XLR-V apart from its standard counterpart. Inside, the cabin provides a luxurious ambiance, with premium leather upholstery, carbon fiber accents, and a navigation system.

The 2009 Cadillac XLR-V catered to a discerning clientele seeking a blend of luxury and performance. Its powerful engine and sharp handling delivered an exhilarating driving experience, while its luxurious interior offered comfort and sophistication. However, the XLR-V also had its drawbacks. Its high price point and limited production run made it a niche vehicle, and its fuel economy was less than stellar. Furthermore, despite its performance credentials, the XLR-V was criticized for its relatively heavy weight and lack of handling agility compared to its European competitors. Despite these drawbacks, the 2009 Cadillac XLR-V remains a desirable collectible, representing a high point in Cadillac's pursuit of performance excellence.
