Executive Summary
Presenting an investment-grade masterpiece of modern American performance and luxury: a 2008 Cadillac XLR-V Roadster with just 36,000 original kilometres. This exceptional vehicle represents the pinnacle of exclusivity, verified as one of only 392 XLR-V models produced worldwide for the 2008 model year. Beyond its overarching production scarcity, this collector-tier roadster is further distinguished by its striking and elite specification—estimated to be 1 of only 30 examples finished in Black Raven paint over a Cashmere leather interior. Boasting a flawless, accident-free history and packed with every premium factory amenity, this ultra-low-mileage XLR-V stands as an incredibly rare, rapidly appreciating global collectible.
Its original sticker price in 2008 would have easily crossed the $100,000 USD milestone (equivalent to roughly $145,000+ USD today when adjusted for inflation or roughly $200,000 CDN)
Rarity and Collector Significance
The Cadillac XLR-V is a legendary, low-production flagship that combined supercar DNA with Cadillac's signature "Art and Science" design language. With only 392 total units built globally for 2008, it is already far scarcer than the contemporary sports cars of its era. When factored down to the highly coveted Black Raven over Cashmere colour palette, it becomes an absolute ghost of the collector car world—estimated as one of just 30 in existence configured this way. For the discerning investor, finding an unblemished, low-kilometre example with this degree of micro-exclusivity represents a premier market opportunity.
