The Cadillac XLR-V is a high performance version of the company’s flagship XLR.
The V-edition performance package increases engine power by adding a supercharged 4.4-liter V-8 that develops 443 hp. The six-speed automatic utilizes Performance Algorithm Shifting and Performance Algorithm Liftfoot systems. The look of the XLR-V is changed by adding polished wire-mesh upper and lower grilles, a sculpted hood, four stainless-steel exhaust tips and 10-spoke aluminum wheels with a sterling silver finish. To improve handling, the XLR-V has a rear stabilizer bar and a larger front stabilizer bar.
The Cadillac XLR-V is a carryover from 2007.
