250cid/170hp FI helps keep that true Cadillac feel. The Allante was
Cadillac's answer to luxury convertibles such as the Mercedes-Benz
SL and Jaguar XJS. The car was produced in small numbers and was
unique in several ways. First, the bodies were designed and
manufactured by Pininfarina in Italy, then flown to Detroit for
final assembly. The engine power was initially provided by a
4.1-liter aluminum V-8 engine with multi-port fuel injection at 170
hp, mated to a front wheel drive automatic transmission. The mild
power ratings set against the Allante's 3,720-pound curb weight,
plus the front-wheel-drive configuration and automatic transmission
made the car more suited for comfortable highway cruising, rahter
than for sporty driving. Yet the Allante offered state-of-the-art
technology for Cadillac with four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes,
Macpherson strut suspension, a digital dashboard, and a Bose
stereo. The Allante was sold with an aluminum hardtop and cloth
folding top on all models. This is a great example of GM forward
innovation and a unique car collectors must have.
