A first edition is desired by some because they are the first, even with all the typical first production quirks. Last year vehicles are the most desirable because it is generally recognized that the factory finally sorts out all of the deficiencies, adds the best features, improves the engineering, creates the best handling, and ups the power, to finally get everything right. Then the model was unceremoniously pulled, leaving Cadillac and Allante fans disappointed and collectors left wanting… Want no more, as this Last Year Allante, with only miles will not disappoint. Seven model years earlier, Cadillac offered up the first Allante to help re-capture the Cadillac reputation as a premium luxury car builder. The debut and construction was significant and unique, blending luscious Italian design bodies built by Pininfarina, shipped via special Boeing 747 cargo planes to Detroit for assembly. All Allantes are Front Wheel Drive, bringing something unique to the luxury sporty car world, and backed up by a torquey V-8 and automatic transmission, American-style. By 1993, the drive train was a dialed-in with a one-year only, upgraded 4.6L DOHC (dual overhead cam) V-8 providing 295 horsepower and 290 ft/lb of torque, with a new and improved 4T80-E automatic transmission. The 0-60 times dropped dramatically compared to earlier Allantes; it gets there in only 6.4 seconds. Top speed for the ’93 model increased to 140 mph, and the vehicle remained stable all the way… A new suspension was engineered for the 1993 model, identified as “Road Sensing Suspension” for improved handling. Combined with a revised variable assist power steering rack, the ’93 Allante was the best handling of the production run. With only 4,670 examples built in this year, there are not many in this condition. It still rides like a new Cadillac luxury sports car. Be the next to have the best of the last… This 1993 Allante is a prime example of an original, well cared for convertible with hard top that has seen three owners its entire life. Sold originally in Arizona, it then came to Carlsbad California and now resides in La Jolla Calif. The last owner was eighty years old and barely drove the car when purchased by me in 2000 with 42,000 miles. It currently has 100,642 miles and is driven daily to work for a total of 100 miles per week, It is all original with the 32 valve Northstar Engine. The only year to be Powered by 4.6L Northstar V8 and a four speed automatic transmission the Allante produces 295 horsepower and 290 pounds of torque propelling the luxury convertible from 0-60 in just over six seconds.

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.

Cadillac releases updated 2015 CTS

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

Cadillac is in the process of applying the new wreathless emblem across its range one model at a time, but rather than simply slap the new logo on the existing models, it's taking the opportunity to roll out some revisions as well. First came the ATS coupe, followed by the updated ATS sedan, and now the flagship brand in the General Motors portfolio has quietly announced some revisions for the CTS sedan as well.
For the 2015 model year, the CTS - which was just introduced last year - gets a revised front end with that wreathless crest but also a new chrome grille with active aero elements on standard models and a black-chrome grille on the Vsport. The revised grille is flanked by new headlights, but behind them the engine lineup carries over: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 272 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with 321 hp or - in the Vsport performance model - a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 420 hp that's still the most powerful V6 GM has ever made. All engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (ditching the six-speed auto on previous versions) and (apart from the RWD Vsport) can be had in rear- or all-wheel-drive flavors.
Cadillac has also given the updated CTS some new electronics (including inductive smartphone charging, onboard wifi, and more advanced parking and lane assist systems) as well as new wheels, trims and color options, details on which you can read in the press release below.

Cadillac CTS Vsport laps the N"urburgring in 8:14.10 [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

You don't have to be German to test your car at the Nürburging. You just have to be serious about beating the Germans on their own home turf. That's why Nissan tests its GT-R at the Nordschleife to challenge the Porsche 911, and why Cadillac - which is no less serious about putting up a fight to German performance sedans - has returned to the 'Ring once again with its latest.
This time it's the turn of the new CTS Vsport, the sportier version of Cadillac's new mid-range sedan that aims to bridge the gap until the arrival of the next CTS-V. So how'd it fare? At the end of what we're sure was an exhaustive test session, the new CTS Vsport clocked a time of 8:14.10.
To put that into context, General Motors points out that the time places the new sedan six seconds ahead of the first-gen CTS-V, whose 400-horsepower V8 engine was actually less potent than the Vsport's new 410hp 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. That's still a good fifteen seconds slower than the outgoing CTS-V that clocked a 7:59 in 2009 with its 556hp supercharged V8, but only a second behind the E60-generation BMW M5 with its high-revving 500hp V10.
