1993 Cadillac Allante Value Leader Convertible 2-door Northstar Engine on 2040-cars
La Jolla, California, United States
Third Owner Arizona/California Car - VIN:1G6VS3391PU126594 Location: La Jolla, CA 1993 Cadillac Allante In the car collector world, it’s common knowledge that firsts and lasts are the vehicles to own. A first edition is desired by some because they are the first, even with all the typical first production quirks.
Last year vehicles are the most desirable because it is generally recognized that the factory finally sorts out all of the deficiencies, adds the best features, improves the engineering, creates the best handling, and ups the power, to finally get everything right. Then the model was unceremoniously pulled, leaving Cadillac and Allante fans disappointed and collectors left wanting… Want no more, as this Last Year Allante, with only miles will not disappoint. Seven model years earlier, Cadillac offered up the first Allante to help re-capture the Cadillac reputation as a premium luxury car builder. The debut and construction was significant and unique, blending luscious Italian design bodies built by Pininfarina, shipped via special Boeing 747 cargo planes to Detroit for assembly.
All Allantes are Front Wheel Drive, bringing something unique to the luxury sporty car world, and backed up by a torquey V-8 and automatic transmission, American-style. By 1993, the drive train was a dialed-in with a one-year only, upgraded 4.6L DOHC (dual overhead cam) V-8 providing 295 horsepower and 290 ft/lb of torque, with a new and improved 4T80-E automatic transmission. The 0-60 times dropped dramatically compared to earlier Allantes; it gets there in only 6.4 seconds. Top speed for the ’93 model increased to 140 mph, and the vehicle remained stable all the way… A new suspension was engineered for the 1993 model, identified as “Road Sensing Suspension” for improved handling. Combined with a revised variable assist power steering rack, the ’93 Allante was the best handling of the production run. With only 4,670 examples built in this year, there are not many in this condition. It still rides like a new Cadillac luxury sports car.
Be the next to have the best of the last… This 1993 Allante is a prime example of an original, well cared for convertible with hard top that has seen three owners its entire life. Sold originally in Arizona, it then came to Carlsbad California and now resides in La Jolla Calif.
The last owner was eighty years old and barely drove the car when purchased by me in 2000 with 42,000 miles. It currently has 100,642 miles and is driven daily to work for a total of 100 miles per week, It is all original with the 32 valve Northstar Engine. The only year to be Powered by 4.6L Northstar V8 and a four speed automatic transmission the Allante produces 295 horsepower and 290 pounds of torque propelling the luxury convertible from 0-60 in just over six seconds.

Gimp Pimp and Aqua Volvo at 24 Hours of LeMons | Car Club USA
Tue, Mar 22 2016Car Club USA heads to Sonoma, CA where the Gimp Pimp Cadillac and Aqua Volvo will take on all the crazy, sub-$500 competition at the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance race. "Over the last 30 years, car racing has gotten extremely serious and extremely expensive and it just seemed like there was a real need to make it accessible again," said LeMons founder Jay Lamm. The result is a series of endurance races across the US and Australia where all you need to join the fun is a junky car and some basic safety equipment. "It's just fun, compared to pro racing," said Wendy Epstein, driver of a 1979 Volvo 242 in bright "Aqua Volvo" livery. "24 Hours of LeMons is a form of racing that is designed to be cheap and easy, and anybody can do it," said Bill Manfroy, driver of the Gimp Pimp, a 1996 Cadillac SLS with some important modifications. "Part of what makes the Gimp Pimp Cadillac so special is that it does have hand controls, so it gives access to people like me that ordinarily get to race." "Which makes it perfect for LeMons." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.
Cadillac executive appointments have global flair
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Cadillac has rearranged its executive suite in order to take full advantage of its sales momentum. Don Butler is moving from his role as US VP of marketing to a newly created position with the title VP of global Cadillac strategic development. It will be his job to "drive the next phase of Cadillac growth internationally," planning strategy and developing new markets.
He will be replaced by Steve Majoros, an exec poached from Chevrolet's ad agency of record, Campbell Ewald. Majoros, who has the Chevrolet campaigns "Like a Rock" and "American Revolution" on his resume, will oversee Cadillac's US and international marketing.
Another component in the brand's renewed global focus includes conducting an ad agency review. Announced last month, Fallon Worldwide remains Cadillac's agency of record, but others, said to include Campbell Ewald, will be bidding to make the creative that helps Cadillac expand sales percentages by triple digits here and in China.
