8-cyl. 250cid/170hp FI 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. 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 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.
