| High-Tech Road Manners |
 |
Precision handling combines with a controlled ride in XLR, thanks to the standard Magnetic Ride Control suspension. It adjusts the damping of each shock absorber up to 1000 times per second to match the driving conditions. The result is optimal control and comfort in every situation. |
| One-Touch Transformation |
 |
At the touch of a button, XLR can metamorphose in less than 30 seconds from a wind-in-your-hair roadster into a weathertight coupe. The XLR top has also been exhaustively leak-tested, so you're assured of a dry, comfortable ride, even in the worst weather. |
| Muscular Refinement |
 |
In normal, around-town driving, XLR's advanced Northstar V8 engine is the epitome of smooth, silent sophistication. Press it harder, though, and you'll enjoy the excitement of a full 320 hp and an exhaust note best described as a patrician growl. |
| Ultimate Style |
 |
New for 2007, the Platinum Edition package takes XLR's arresting style a step further. The highlights include a glittering chrome-finished grille and exclusive 15-spoke polished alumium wheels, along with olive ash wood accents and suede upholstery in the interior. |
| Premium Interior Materials |
 |
Genuine Spanish eucalyptus wood trim, with its warmth and unique character, provides the perfect counterpoint to XLR's bold, technical lines. It's set off by glare-resistant anodized aluminum accents and supple natural leathers on the seating surfaces, doors, console and steering wheel. |
| V Is For Velocity |
 |
With a supercharged Northstar V8 putting out 443 hp and 414 lb.-ft. of torque, the awesome XLR-V is capable of accelerating from 0 to 96 km/h in well under 5 seconds. It's the highest-performance production Cadillac in history. |
| XLR Model Overview |
XLR is designed to delight a discerning driver, with clean, technical lines, leading-edge technology, and a beautifully appointed, precision-crafted interior. XLR-V puts the emphasis on high performance, with a 443 hp Supercharged V8 and a host of other upgrades. |
| XLR |
 |
The list of premium componentry on the 2007 XLR is virtually endless. It begins with the 320 hp Northstar V8, the latest version of a legendary luxury car engine. Paired with this distinguished powerplant is a new-for-2007 6-speed automatic transmission. The fully independent Magnetic Ride Control suspension adjusts up to 1000 times per second to tailor XLR's ride and handling characteristics to match the driving conditions. Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar technology to detect slower vehicles ahead during highway driving and help reduce XLR's speed when necessary to maintain a safe following distance. Other XLR standard amenities include a steerable adaptive forward lighting system, passive remote locking and unlocking, push-button start, DVD navigation with voice recognition and genuine eucalyptus wood trim. |
| XLR-V |
 |
Like every member of Cadillac's V-series, XLR-V blends tremendous luxury with awe-inspiring performance. It's powered by a 443 hp supercharged version of the Northstar V8. Larger cross-drilled disc brakes, 19-inch wheels, low-profile W-rated tires and a special performance-tuned Magnetic Ride Control suspension assist in keeping all that power firmly under control. The XLR-V cabin features upgrades of its own, including sueded fabric inserts in the leather seating surfaces to help keep occupants in place during spirited driving. The interior is further distinguished by Zingana wood appointments and kinetic finished aluminum accents. |
