No less than His Airness, Michael Jordan is the newest proud owner of a supercharged Cadillac XLR-V. That�s not really anything extraordinary, considering that #23 has a lot of big bucks to spare and has a stable of forty vehicles. What�s surprising is that the Cadillac XLR-V is actually Jordan�s first American Car (as what he confided). Reports said that Cadillac general manager Jim Taylor himself had his team personally deliver the new roadster over to Jordan�s house.
Taylor sent over an entire semi-truck loaded with three XLR-Vs in different colors � Infra Red, Black Raven and Light Platinum so that the basketball legend can choose his favorite. Jordan chose the red one and plunked down a cool US$100,000 for the car. Cadillac also added a set of custom side sills in aluminum etched with Jordan�s signature.
The Cadillac XLR-V is an ultra-luxury, high performance roadster offering a bold and distinctive styling, superb and luxurious performance and personal amenities, top of the line technology and rear wheel drive performance. The roadster is powered by an all-new 4.4 liter version of the Northstar engine producing 443 HP at 6,400 rpm and 414 lb-ft. of torque at 3.900 rpm. The XLR-V comes with the new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission, one of the most technologically advanced in the industry delivering smooth and precise performance.
The Cadillac XLR-V boasts of other luxurious features such as Zingana wood and ebony leather trims, soft leather seats with French stitching and suede fabric inserts, interior aluminum accents and others. Exterior-wise, the XLR-V features an attractive V-series mesh grill and additional badging, eighteen-inch wheels, four polished stainless steel exhaust tips and an aggressively sculpted hood. The XLR-V is Cadillac�s most expensive model to date.
