Cadillac XLR Engines and Transmissions

Every Cadillac XLR engine here is a gasoline V8 driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission, a classic grand touring drivetrain. The 4.6 AT emphasises smooth, effortless torque for cruising, while the 4.4 AT adds supercharged urgency without changing the relaxed powertrain character.
