Rare V8 Roadster: 2008 Cadillac XLR

Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 2008 Cadillac XLR with 73,519 miles for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. Built alongside the Chevrolet Corvette in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the XLR combined Cadillac luxury with a performance-oriented chassis, rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and the open-air versatility of a power-retractable hardtop. Its angular styling and limited production have helped make the XLR one of Cadillac's most distinctive modern collectible automobiles.

Exterior:

The body is finished in elegant Alpine White and features Cadillac's sharp-edged “Art and Science” styling. The power-retractable aluminum hardtop transforms the XLR from a refined coupe into an open roadster at the touch of a button, storing beneath the rear deck when lowered. Exterior details include vertically oriented lighting, integrated fog lights, a mesh-style grille, power-adjustable mirrors, dual polished exhaust outlets, and signature Cadillac badging. Red-painted brake calipers provide a contrasting appearance behind the wheels.

The car is fitted with 235/50RF18 tires at all four corners. The tires have older date codes and should be considered for replacement due to age.

Interior:

The two-passenger cabin is finished in Cashmere and combines luxury appointments with a driver-focused layout. The odometer displays 73,519 miles. Sculpted bucket seats are separated by a full-length center console, while metallic accents and wood trim provide an upscale appearance. Amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, push-button ignition, a head-up display, cruise control, power accessories, and a touchscreen navigation and entertainment system.

Drivetrain:

Power comes from a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter Northstar DOHC V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The V8 sends power to the rear wheels, giving the XLR the responsive character expected from Cadillac's flagship roadster. The cooling system has been upgraded with a new aluminum radiator, upper and lower hoses, and new thermostat, and the engine has received a recent oil change.

Suspension and Brakes:

The XLR features a double-wishbone front suspension and an independent double-wishbone rear suspension, providing responsive handling while maintaining grand-touring comfort. Four-wheel disc brakes with red-painted calipers provide stopping power, while speed-sensitive power steering contributes to confident road manners.

Built at GM's Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly facility, this Alpine White over Cashmere 2008 Cadillac XLR offers 73,519 miles, Northstar V8 power, a power-retractable hardtop, a new aluminum radiator, a recent oil change, and the comfort expected from a luxury grand-touring roadster.
