Hand-assembled supercharged Northstar V8. Magnetic ride. Folding hardtop. They only built the XLR-V for a few short years, which makes finding one like this—with under 13,000 miles and completely stock—almost unheard of.
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2006 Cadillac XLR-V showing just 12,072 mi (19,428 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Light Platinum over an Ebony leather and suede cabin, this hardtop roadster is a stunning example of Cadillac’s single-generation halo car.
The XLR-V blends the C6 Corvette platform with a hand-assembled supercharged Northstar V8 and Cadillac’s Art & Science design language into a dramatic expression of automotive art. Richly equipped with climate-controlled seats, French-seamed leather, and Zingana wood trim, the XLR-V is the definition of a high-performance luxury sports car.
Cadillac only made the XLR-V for a few short years, but it is a car that left a lasting impression. Capable of sub-5-second sprints to 60, featuring magnetorheological dampers and a valved exhaust system, this Caddy has moves. Today’s 2006 XLR-V, with ultra-low mileage and in all-original condition, is a prime example of this gorgeous roadster.

Summary
Cadillac pulled out all the stops when it returned to the high-end roadster segment with the XLR in 2004, but it was the V-Series variant that put the industry on notice. With its six-figure price point and brawny supercharged Northstar V8, the XLR-V was the most expensive and quickest Cadillac at the time. A true halo car.
Showing off the kind of clean condition that you would expect with such low mileage, today’s 2006 XLR-V will make an excellent addition to any serious collection. Of course, the Corvette platform, V-tuned dynamics, thundering V8, and droptop cabin mean this particular Caddy is equally ready for your next weekend adventure.
