2009 cadillac xlr-v Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...We timed an XLR-V from zero to 60 mph in a scant 4.6 seconds, which puts it more than a full second ahead of the standard XLR and right in the thick of the high-performance roadster race. Braking performance, at 119 feet from 60 mph, is adequate, though the top stoppers can do the deed in under 115 feet. Safety: Antilock disc brakes, traction control and stability control are all standard on the 2009 Cadillac XLR-V.

On these two counts, the XLR-V can't compete—except with the beautiful Jaguar XKR, a stunning kitten that runs with 420 horsepower.
However, take a look at the XKR’s beautiful interior and you likely won’t be going back to the Cadillac dealership.
