Soft convertible with no hard-top

Cadillac had launched the front-drive Allante for the 1987 model year. to plenty of fanfare. as the company's most expensive model. Body and interior design for Cadillac's first 2-seat model was created by Pininfarina. in Italy. but the V8/automatic drivetrain was strictly American. Bodies were produced at a facility near Turin. Italy. then loaded onto special jet planes and flown to Detroit. Once there. driveline and underbody components were installed.

Allante was a full convertible. with integral folding soft top and detachable aluminum hardtop. Aluminum was used for the hood and trunk lid while the unit body/frame structure employed galvanized steel. The Allante's wheelbase measured 8. 4 inches shorter than an Eldorado's. but the 2-seater shared its basic fully independent suspension. An all-disc power brake system with Bosch antilocking was standard.

Initial Allantes had used a 4. 1-liter V8 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. By 1990. a 200-horsepower. 4. 5-liter V8 was the motive source. also with automatic only. Traction control was new for 1990. using sensors for the antilock brakes to detect wheel slip during acceleration or steady cruising. When either front wheel began to slip. the system applied braking force to that wheel. If both front wheels were slipping. enough braking action was applied on both sides to optimize traction.

A lower-priced Allante became available with only the folding convertible top. That one cost $51. 00. whereas the Allante with twin tops stickered for $57. 13–far beyond other Cadillac prices. A driver's airbag went into the 1990 models. and electronically controlled shock absorbers were retuned to improve ride quality. The standard sound system now included both a cassette and a CD player. Primary rival was the Mercedes-Benz 560SL. also a 2-seater.
