XLR-V spy pics
 

from thecarconnection.com

GM's Performance Division was busy this week and we caught yet another future V-Series Cadillac. This time we photographed the 400-horsepower XLR-V, powered by a supercharged 4.6-liter Northstar V-8.

Besides the supercharged engine and other performance-related features, the V-Series XLR also sports a unique hood, ten-spoke wheels, and high-performance tires.

The XLR V-Series is expected for the 2006 model year, or possibly as an early 2007-model offering.

ooh, very nice :D
i love the XLR, but have always felt it was a bit weak, and now they've fixed that 8)

yea i suppose its going up against the SL55s of the world, but i think it would need more than 400hp to stand a chance.

looks good from the first angle, and i havent seen it from the second angle before... that truly looks... disgusting.

being said, beyond its superficially artificial inflated and bloated beyond the normally obtusely priced XLR... i dont doubt this will be quite quick :)

Sound good, i love the XLR even if the proto was better :D

Oh no...and they said Bangle´s designs looked like shit :roll:

whats this gonna run 100 grand? i think its way overpriced, id rather have the SL any day.

are the rim supposed to be that color, or is that brake dust? :D

i'm trying to make my silver rims grey from dust. seems to look better on a white car

I highly doubt this one. This would never sell, the people who would buy this aren't that stupid they would walk over to the Chevy lot and pick up a Vette or even better (still cheaper) a Z06.

Another big fat ugly caddy. :roll: :wink:

doesnt look to aggresive in my opinion and as someone already stated, for the price of this thing id rather have a SL or Maserati any day

haha, with the base xlr costing over 70 grand. how much is this POS gonna cost. :roll:
at least the CTS-V is trying to compete by being less money than the competition.

70G's but it competes with the 85K MB, it is still a more affordable luxury sports coupe, that offers as much as it does.

It's one of the uggliest things I've seen recently....

Well, it wouldn't be as bad if it didn't have those black wheels....
