Caught in the Act: XLR Convertible Hardtop

When Hagerty released their list of the Top Ten Future Collector Cars, Caddy’s souped up XLR made the list, and it’s easy to see why. Even now, they aren’t a terribly common sight, and since it shares a platform with the Corvette, there’s plenty of grunt to complement the chiseled features. As someone who’s always liked the idea of a drop-top, but just hates the most cloth roofs look, the idea of a convertible hardtop sounds cool. I know, I know. They take up too much space. They weight a ton. They’re overly complex. And I’m not arguing that track cars should have them, but on the XLR, it makes sense. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that this one moves like a Transformer. Check it out.
