2006 NY Auto Show
The XLR’s dynamic design and advanced technology have brought a striking new presence to the automotive spectrum. A luxury roadster with performance car roots, XLR underscores its visual statement with a performance-oriented chassis and structure, and a 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 VVT (variable valve timing) rear-wheel drive engine.
Under its skin, the XLR’s harmonious blend of technologies and materials add pleasure, not complexity, to the driving experience. These include a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, Magnetic Ride Control, StabiliTrak, heated and cooled seats, Keyless Access with push-button start and DVD navigation and entertainment.
The XLR’s 4.6-liter V8 VVT is a 90-degree, DOHC, four-valves-per-cylinder engine featuring an aluminum block and cylinder heads, and a valvetrain configuration with roller finger followers. It generates 320 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. It is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.
