GM'S 2006 Cadillac XLR: Cadillac Performance Parts, Aftermarket
Parts
The 2006 Cadillac XLR-V is the newest addition to the
high-performance V-Series vehicles for the ultra-luxury class of
high-performance roadsters.
The 2006 Cadillac XLR is equipped with a supercharged 4.4-liter
Northstar V-8 engine, good for 440 horsepower and 425 pound-feet
of torque--120 horsepower. The 32-valve V-8 is backed by a
Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission.
The car has 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 Cadillac XLR has polished wire mesh
upper and lower grilles; unique nineteen-inch, ten-spoke
aluminum wheels; a hood bulge; and four stainless-steel exhaust
tips.
The XLR chassis is sharper than the SL500's, however, and
Cadillac has enhanced it with a stiffer front anti-roll bar, the
addition of a rear bar, and a sportier Magnetic Ride Control
calibration. The brakes have been uprated, with bigger diameter
13.4-inch front and 13.0-inch rear cross-drilled rotors, a setup
that is essentially the same as the Corvette Z51's. The
StabiliTrak stability system now has four positions. The larger
diameter wheels are accompanied by wider Pirelli run-flat 235/45
front and 255/40 rear tires.
A full complement of performance enhancements such as new
19-inch wheels and tires, a recalibrated suspension and stronger
brakes gives the Cadillac a serious performance entry in the
luxury convertible segment.
The Cadillac XLR boasts of the following: 440-horsepower
Supercharged Northstar V-8 Engine, Rear-Mounted Hydra-Matic
Six-Speed Automatic Transmission, Handcrafted Leather-wrapped
Interior, and Adaptive Forward Lighting System -Series Design
Cues.
Exterior and interior appointments include a signature wire-mesh
grille, larger 19-inch wheels at all four corners, and ebony
wood and aluminum accents throughout the interior; larger
brakes, stabilizer bars, wheels and tires. It also includes a
performance-calibrated Magnetic Ride Control (MR) system;
Adaptive Forward Lighting system, a first-time application on a
Cadillac, which automatically adjusts headlamp direction up to
15-degrees for improved night driving vision.
