2006 Cadillac XLR-v Auto Show Photo

The newest member of the Cadillac's high-performance line is the XLR-v. It receives a supercharged 4.4-liter Northstar V-8 engine, good for 440 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque--120 horsepower and 115 pound-feet more than the Northstar in the standard XLR. The 32-valve V-8 is backed by a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. This combination gives the XLR-v a 0-60 time that's under five seconds. The car receives recalibrated Magnetic Ride Control, 13.4-inch dual-piston front brakes and 13.0-inch single-piston brakes in the rear, a larger front stabilizer bar, and the addition of a rear stabilizer bar. Styling cues include a wire-mesh grille, 19-inch wheels, and wood and aluminum accents in the interior. This Cadillac is the first to be equipped with Adaptive Forward Lighting, which uses sensors that read steering wheel angle input and vehicle speed to determine how quickly and how much to turn the headlights. The lights can move up to 15 degrees.
