Cadillac Allante Engines and Transmissions

Every Cadillac Allante engine here is a gasoline V8 paired with an automatic transmission, so progress is smooth and effortless rather than frantic. Examples include the 4.1 AT and 4.5 AT with front-wheel drive, plus a later 4.6 AT listed with rear-wheel drive; larger displacement generally brings easier overtaking and calmer highway cruising.
