This might sound strange, but 443 horsepower isn’t very impressive in this class, especially when you’re talking about cars that cost six figures. Case in point, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class offers three models that kick out more than 500 horsepower. The BMW M edition of its 6-Series packs a V-10 wallop of 500-plus horsepower. These cars are all put together by special high-performance vehicle teams within their companies, and the results are impressive and hugely expensive. When comparing only price, the 2009 Cadillac XLR-V could be considered a contender, but those who play in this sandbox aren't looking for value. They're shopping for status and bragging rights. On these two counts, the XLR-V can't compete—except with the beautiful Jaguar XKR, a stunning kitten that runs with 420 horsepower. However, take a look at the XKR’s beautiful interior and you likely won’t be going back to the Cadillac dealership.
