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.

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

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.

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.
