Cadillac

Once upon a time, To transport the head of state, the government then imported India's first presidential car, the Cadillac Country Convertible imported from the United States to join the President's Official Fleet. There is no data on when this car entered the fleet, but heads of state of other countries used the Country Convertible on official visits to their capitals. Note that this was a time when horse-drawn carriages were an integral part of convoys, so state cars were used on special occasions.

The Cadillac XLR is a very high-quality roadster built to give you the thrill of speed and elegant design. It will go on sale in India at a showroom price of INR 750,000. The luxury-based roadster is powered by a 4600cc V8 engine that produces a maximum output of 320hp at 6400rpm and a maximum torque of 310Nm at 4400rpm. It has a 6-speed automatic gearbox and a 68-litre fuel tank. The Cadillac XLR is a rival to the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z4 sDrive 35i.

This stripped-down new XLR is a Chevrolet Corvette in Cadillac clothes with a Northstar 32-valve V-8. But the details of this transformation give XLR its own ambience.

Take bodywork for example. In contrast to the Corvette's curvaceous, muscular trim, the XLR has Cadillac's razor-sharp signature look that was foreseen by his Kip Wasenko-designed Evoq concept car in 1999. I am wearing it. I didn't immediately get used to this look in CTS, but found it much more appealing in XLR. One reason is the car's undeniably athletic proportions. The XLR is a few inches shorter, narrower and taller than the Corvette it's based on, but Cadillac is lower than all of these when compared to its original rivals the Jaguar XK8, Lexus SC430 and Mercedes SL500. , is wider.

With a folding hardtop that disappears completely at the touch of a button, his XLR looks sleek and clean in top-down mode. But even top-down, things are elegant thanks to the rear window, which is unusually steep for a convertible.
