FactIts gauge cluster and instruments were designed by the Italian jeweler Bulgari.
The Cadillac XLR was a two-door roadster built at Bowling Green, Kentucky, from 2003 to 2009 for the 2004–2009 model years, on GM's Y-body related to the C5 and C6 Corvette. It had rear-wheel drive with a 4.6 litre Northstar V8 and five- or six-speed automatics; a supercharged 4.4 litre Northstar was also listed.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Cadillac dressed the XLR's dashboard with Bulgari-designed instruments -- a jewelry house's name on a gauge cluster, right alongside a head-up display and adaptive suspension.

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
