The Allanté entered its first full year of production after being
introduced in March 1987. Its styling, powertrain and features were
essentially unchanged for 1988. A number of running changes did take place.
These included a reconfiguring of the headrests and the inclusion of a power
decklid pulldown as standard equipment. A new option for 1988 was a
European-style analog instrument panel which could be ordered in lieu of the
standard electronic cluster at no extra charge. Also new for 1988 were two
new exterior colors-red and black.
Allanté is for those fortunate few who can write their own
rules.
Unlike any ultra-luxury roadster that has come before it, here is the limited
production Cadillac Allanté. Using premium german steel, a unique
Swiss alloy and exterior trim from France, Italian artisans handcraft its
coachwork at the studios of Pininfarina, designer for appointment to Ferrari
and Rolls Royce.
Then, specially modified 747s transport the sculptured bodies to a
specially-built Cadillac facility in North America. After final drive train
assembly, every Allanté undergoes a 40 km (25-mile) test track
evaluation, unique to Cadillac. Two teams of highly trained technicians,
after testing procedure, must sign off each vehicle with their own signature.
Further proof of Cadillac's commitment to Allanté's
integrity.
European road manners, Cadillac comfort, convenience and front-wheel
drive. There's spirited power in the exclusive high output V8 with
Sequential-Port Fuel Injection, precise -- never harsh -- handling.
Impressive control with the Bosch III Anti-Lock Braking System.
Allanté brings a new concept to two-passenger automobiles: Cadillac
comfort. Defying the traditional space constraints of a copupe/roadster, its
pass-through trunk even accepts skis with a total of 453 litres (16 cu. ft.)
of space.
Hand-fitted Italian leather covers the Recaro seat (with new lower
headrests) featuring driver and passenger ten-way electric power. A
memory function on the driver's side "rmembers" two preferred seating
positions. In strumentation is a unique blend of electronic Liquid Crystal
Display and analogue dials. Power equipment runs the full gauntlet. There
are simply no extra cost options.
The 7 year / 160,000 kilometere (100,000 mile) Allanté Limited
Warranty is designed to make you the most cared-for owner in the
world.
Cadillac Allanté. Modern in the true North american sense, it retains
all the sense of a classic Italian beauty.
