XLR
 Driving takes an unexpected turn
Enter the Cadillac XLR. A stunning combination of style, performance and technology.
As you approach, you encounter a bold, new vision of jewel-like elegance and a design-inspired by the stealth fighter. You touch the switch pad, and the door opens effortlessly. The push button start activates the car. Push another button and the hardtop retracts, disappearing with uncommon ease. You settle into contoured comfort and take in your surroundings. A harmony of Eucalyptus wood trim, leather and aluminum accents invite your touch. A quick check of the Bulgari-designed instrumentation, and you tap into gear.
You arrive at your destination, confident and exhilarated, knowing that nothing will be the same.

Ingenious Technology
Keyless Access
As you approach the locked vehicle, sensors instantly recognize your Bulgari-designed key FOB even without retrieval from a pocket, purse, or briefcase. If all verification conditions are met, the door or trunk will unlock and then unlatch at your command.
Push Button Start
After you enter the car, simply push the "start" button on the dash. In less than a second, the vehicle issues a challenge to your Bulgari-designed key FOB, and if all verification conditions are met, the engine starts. Press the "OFF/ACC" button, and the vehicle turns OFF, but retained accessory power is maintained until a door is opened.
Available adaptable cruise control
Cruise control with vision. A radar sensor detects the presence and speed of the car in front of you and will assist you in maintaining desired headway. Headway is maintained using the throttle; if more deceleration is required, brakes are applied. If driver action is required, the system will sound an alarm. When traffic clears the cruise control gradually increases vehicle speed to the set speed.
