A Corvette in a tuxedo—a retractable-hardtop roadster with a Northstar V8. It's a head-turner, but it's rare, expensive to fix, and the XLR-V's supercharger adds a layer of complexity you don't need.
The XLR was a luxury roadster built on the Corvette's Y-body platform (rear-drive). It had a 4.6L Northstar V8 (320 hp) or a supercharged 4.4L Northstar V8 (443 hp) in the XLR-V. It had a 6-speed auto (6L50) and a retractable hardtop. It was basically a Corvette with a Cadillac body and a much higher price tag.
The XLR is a niche car. The Northstar is the same as the STS—the later version is better, but it's still complex. The XLR-V is a high-strung car. The retractable hardtop is a complex mechanism that can fail. Parts are expensive. It's a beautiful car, but it's a finicky one.
