It was a mixed vehicle built on top of a Chevrolet Corvette chassis and a Northstar V-8 engine, and all assembled into a wedged-shaped bodywork with a power-retractable hard-top. It wasn’t a bad idea, but the six-figure price tag made the customers think twice. In 2008, Cadillac made a final attempt to gain the market and introduced a facelifted version, which sported an upgraded front fascia. It featured a polished silver grille that resembled older Cadillacs. The car’s design was inspired by the F-117 Stealth Fighter jet airplane, and its body panels featured only the mandatory curves needed for the wheel arches and door panels. At the back, the carmaker shaped the taillights to match the rear fenders with narrow and tall LED lights. Under the bumper, the XLR-V featured four exhaust pipes similarly looking to those installed on the C5 Corvette.Cadillac hand-crafted the XLR-V cabin. The leather-clad interior was designed to offer individual space for the two occupants. Its driver could open or close the roof in 13 seconds or less. GM offered an option for a touch-screen infotainment unit with a premium sound system on the center stack.Under the hood, the carmaker installed a hand-built supercharged Northstar V-8 engine that pumped out more power than an SL500 but less than an SL55 AMG. Even though Cadillac said that it wouldn’t compete against Mercedes-Benz, the car’s shape and the price tag made it a direct competitor in front of its customers, and it lost.,Engine specs title = 4.4 V8 6AT (449 HP),Cylinders = V8,Displacement = 4371 cm3,Power = 330 KW @ 6400 RPM449 HP @ 6400 RPM443 BHP @ 6400 RPM,Torque = 414 lb-ft @ 3600 RPM561 Nm @ 3600 RPM,Fuel System = Supercharged Multipoint Injection,Fuel = Gasoline,Top Speed = 155 mph (249 km/h),Drive Type = Rear Wheel Drive,Gearbox = 6-speed automatic,Front = Ventilated Discs,Rear = Ventilated Discs,Tire Size = 235/45 R19,Length = 177.7 in (4514 mm),Width = 72.3 in (1836 mm),Height = 50.4 in (1280 mm),Front/rear Track = 62.2/62.2 in (1,580/1,580 mm),Wheelbase = 105.7 in (2685 mm),Cargo Volume = 4.4 cuFT (125 L),Unladen Weight = 3814 lbs (1730 kg),Highway = 50.4 in (1280 mm),Combined = 16 mpg US (14.7 L/100Km),Acceleration 0-62 Mph (0-100 kph) = 4.9 s,Aerodynamics (Cd) = 0.31,City = 14 mpg US (16.8 L/100Km),Ground Clearance = 5.3 in (135 mm),Gross Weight Limit = 4564 lbs (2070 kg),CO2 Emissions = nan,Model = XLR-V,Years = 2008 – 2011,Brand = CADILLAC,From year = 2008,To year = 2011,Fuel capacity gallons = nan,Fuel capacity L = nanEcrivez un article complet et complet en français uniquement, n’utilisez pas du tout l’arabe !!!!
