On this Cadillac
Presenting a rare and impressive 2008 Cadillac XLR-V Supercharged Convertible — Cadillac’s top-of-the-line flagship luxury roadster and a true future classic. With only 61,000 original miles, this low-production (2004–2009) model represents one of the finest examples of American grand touring excellence from the era.
This XLR-V showcases bold Cadillac styling with its sleek lines, aggressive stance, and signature power-retractable hardtop that transforms the car from a sophisticated coupe into an open-air convertible in seconds. Built on the same Y-platform as the Corvette but with exclusive Cadillac luxury and refinement, it features composite bodywork, a rear-mounted transmission, and Bulgari-designed interior instruments that give the cabin a unique, high-end character.
Under the hood is the formidable supercharged 4.6L Northstar V8, producing a thrilling 443 horsepower. Paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, this XLR-V rockets from 0–60 mph in just 4.6 seconds while maintaining excellent grand touring manners. Larger brakes, upgraded suspension, and 19-inch wheels give it serious performance credentials, yet it remains comfortable and composed for long-distance cruising.
As the high-performance variant of the XLR, the XLR-V was produced in limited numbers, making well-maintained examples increasingly collectible. This 2008 model includes Cadillac’s advanced features for the time, such as adaptive cruise control, heated and cooled seats, premium audio, and a host of luxury and safety technologies.
With its combination of supercar-rivaling performance, innovative retractable hardtop, and exclusive luxury appointments, the XLR-V stands as a standout flagship in Cadillac’s modern history. Low-mileage, supercharged examples like this are especially desirable among enthusiasts and collectors.
A genuine opportunity to own a modern American performance luxury icon that’s ready to drive, enjoy, and appreciate for years to come. Serious power, head-turning style, and convertible excitement in one rare package.
