The Allanté was Cadillac's first venture into the
ultra-luxury roadster
market. The vehicle was sold from 1987 through 1993,
with roughly
21,000 models built over its 7-year model run. Allanté's
production was
planned at 6,000 units per year, however, sales figures
show Cadillac
only built about half as many. Despite the accent over
the "e", the
name is pronounced "ah-lon-tay".
The body of the Allanté was designed and built in Italy
by Pininfarina (of Ferrari fame)[1]. The completed
bodies were shipped 3,300 miles from Italy in
specially-equipped Boeing 747s, 56 at a time[1], to
Cadillac's assembly plant in Hamtramck, Michigan. The
bodies were then mated to the chassis[1]. This led to a
few interesting nicknames, such as "The Flying Italian
Cadillac" and "The world's longest assembly line."
The Allanté was initially priced at US$54,700, far above
the price of any other contemporary Cadillac. Today's
Cadillac XLR, also a convertible roadster, at roughly
$70,000 is similarly priced. The high performance
Cadillac XLR-V at $100,000 has regained the cachet of
being the most expensive Cadillac product, when
adjusting for inflation.
