About the 2004 Cadillac XLR

Cadillac's ambitious attempt to reclaim sports car credibility, the XLR shared its Sigma platform with the Corvette C6 but wrapped it in hand-built luxury. Built exclusively at Bowling Green alongside America's sports car, each XLR featured a power-folding hardtop and sumptuous interior that justified its $76,000 base price. The 4.6-liter Northstar V8 produced 320 horsepower, later bumped to 443 hp in the supercharged XLR-V. Only 15,460 XLRs were produced across six model years, making it among Cadillac's rarest modern offerings. While initially overshadowed by the Corvette's performance focus, the XLR has found appreciation among collectors seeking a distinctive American grand tourer. Clean examples with documented service histories command respect, particularly the final 2009 models with updated styling and the ultra-rare XLR-V variants.
