TO THE POINT What’s New? The 2006 XLR-V is a high performance version of Cadillac’s hardtop, two-seater convertible, with various visual upgrades and 443 horsepower.
Selling Points: Supercharged Northstar power, hand-crafted interior, Corvette backbone, aggressive styling
Deal Breakers: Higher sticker price than a 505-horsepower Corvette Z06, interior and cargo space, visibility, fuel economy
Our Advice: Perfect for the Corvette lover who won’t put a Chevy bow tie in the garage. As a sub-five second car, the XLR-V is a better value than many higher-priced exotics.

2006 Cadillac XLR-V

Cadillac is achieving lots of firsts with its 2006 lineup of V-series performance vehicles. The STS-V sedan is the most powerful Cadillac ever produced, while the XLR-V hardtop convertible is the quickest Caddy ever sold to the public. The XLR-V is also recognized as the first domestic car to join Michael Jordan’s fleet of envied exotic cars. The former NBA star recently took delivery of the first retail Cadillac XLR-V.

Despite a $100,000 price tag, the extremely tight supply of 2006 Cadillac XLR-Vs is expected to be snapped up quickly.
