Nicknamed the “baby Corvette” by some, it’s easy to see why with its sleek design, and powerful Northstar V8. This is especially true with its V model, being supercharged and producing 443 HP, although paired exclusively with a 6-speed auto. It also features a retractable hardtop roof, making the car perfect for cruises, rain or shine.
Note: Only 101 units of the Neiman Marcus XLR were ever made for 2004
Specs (Platinum Edition):
Engine: 4.6L V8 (naturally aspirated)
Horsepower: 320 @ 6400 rpm
Torque: 310 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm
Transmission: 5-speed automatic
Drivetrain: RWD
0-60: 5.8 seconds (estimated)
Top speed: 155 mph (electronically limited)
Note: 2009 was the last year of production for the XLR and it received a minor facelift, which include new front and rear facias, chrome side fender vents, instrument cluster trim rings with revised graphics, and new wood dashboard trims
The XLR was a case of great idea but poor execution. The great part is using the Corvette platform to create a flagship luxury grand tourer for the Cadillac brand, but they hobbled it by ditching the Corvette’s reliable and powerful LS small block for the infamous Northstar. I do think if this vehicle is added to the game the 415 hp 6.2L V8 will be available as a swap option, which would make this vehicle much better. If it is listed as a GT Car instead of a Retro/Modern Muscle then I would actually pick this Caddy over European options like the Aston Martin DBS, BMW M8 or Alfa Romeo 8C for racing.
Agreed 100%. The design is incredible but terrible powertrain, guess they were trying to push Northstar and also didn’t want a direct Corvette competitor which is ridiculous. At least in Forza would be able to virtually experience the car with an LS / the new Blackwing given IRL would be insanely expensive to execute properly. I think a V10 would fit it well, too.
