Brilliance Is In Its Nature
At the highest levels, a car is about much more than simple transportation. It's about projecting a unique sense of style. Reinvigorating yourself in an environment of exceptional quality. Revelling in a torrent of power. Perhaps most of all, a fine car is about celebrating high achievement. The rarest and most exclusive of all modern Cadillacs, XLR Platinum and XLR-
V are just such cars – dramatically styled two-seat roadsters endowed with heroic performance and a kind of luxury that goes far, far beyond the ordinary. XLR Platinum and XLR-
V for 2009. Let the celebration begin.
Cadillac Takes Two
Kelley Blue Book® kbb.com, the leading provider of new and used car information announced the winners of its 2009 Brand Image Awards. What's better than being the best? Being the best twice. Cadillac is recognized as the Best Comfort Brand and the Best Interior Design Brand for 2009.†††
Precious Metal
Hard as it may be to imagine, XLR is even more luxurious for 2009, as many of the premium touches of the previous Platinum Edition are now standard equipment. Think supple leathers on the doors and instrument panel, natural Olive Ash burlwood, Quartz metallic trim... and the list goes on.
Garage? Or Gallery?
Restyled for 2009, XLR Platinum has an edgy, contemporary look reminiscent of the best of modern art. It's also a design that splits the air with a drag coefficient of just .31 to countless hours spent refining its every exterior detail in the wind tunnel. As to where you keep it when you're not driving, that's strictly up to you.
Ride, Meet Handling
XLR's Magnetic Ride Control
® suspension constantly reads the road and can adjust damping at each wheel accordingly up to 1000 times every second. The results? Excellent body control and an extremely comfortable ride, combined with handling agility that leaves many pure sports cars in your dust.
Elite Athletes
Equipped with a 320 hp 4.6L Northstar V8 engine and a precise rear-mounted six-speed automatic transmission, XLR Platinum possesses one of the world's most advanced powertrains. XLR-
V takes performance to extremes with a 443 hp supercharged version of the refined Northstar V8.
