1992 Cadillac Allanté
Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
When it debuted in 1987, General Motors called the Allanté “The New Spirit of Cadillac.” The limited production luxury convertible was conceived to compete against the Mercedes-Benz SL and Jaguar XJS. Famous Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina designed the Allanté body and manufactured the cars just outside of Turin, Italy. Specially equipped Boeing 747s flew 56 bodies at a time to Detroit for final assembly with a domestically manufactured drivetrain.
Launched in March 1987, Allanté rode on fully independent strut-type suspension with power rack and pinion steering, four-wheel power disc brakes with Bosch ABS, and an electronically controlled four-speed automatic. Interior features included multi-adjustable Recaro leather seats, digital graphic instrumentation, and Delco Bose AM/FM/cassette audio.
This front-wheel-drive 1992 Allanté convertible features a 200-horsepower, 4.5-liter V8 engine, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This model year also introduced the Road Sensing Suspension (RSS), an advanced system that adjusted the suspension based on road conditions, enhancing ride comfort and handling. Inside, the Allanté boasts a luxurious interior with leather seats, digital instrumentation, and advanced audio systems, reflecting Cadillac's commitment to comfort and innovation. The car is almost completely original except for maintenance replacement parts and a remote battery cutoff that the consignor added for security and to keep battery from draining while not in use.
