Bulgari Vette: 2005 Cadillac XLR

Since 1953 the Corvette has stood alone. Most models/platforms developed by GM have been re-badged and reskinned over the year as various Buick / Oldsmobile / Pontiac / Chevrolet models…but not the Corvette. The Vette stands alone on something that was occasionally called the Y-platform (front-engine rear-mounted transaxle mounted in a hydroformed perimeter frame with composite bodywork) …or at least it did until 2004 when the Cadillac XLR was launched to share some of that Corvette magic with GM’s luxury brand. The XLR added a power retractable hardtop, Bulgari-designed interior instruments, adaptive suspension, and Caddy’s Northstar V8 to the buffet of Corvette performance. If you don’t mind driving an automatic transmission, this isn’t a bad way to get into something wicked fast. Think of it like a Corvette that went to finishing school.
