Everyone,
I was talking to government sources at the FBI's X-Files division and the original concept was not the Evoq or the Cien!! Those were just concepts promoted to lead you away from the truth!
The original concept for the XLR was actually developed in secret by the government in conjuntion with Lockheed. In fact the first concept came out around 1985. GM designers knew someone who knew someone who also knew someone else who knew the right person and got word of the design. GM then petitioned the government to help develop the design. Years later the government would exact a heavy price by demanding part ownership in GM.
Well that concept is this!
The F-117 Nighthawk Stelth Aircraft!
Yes, if you have long suspected it, it is true!
Of course GM realized that in order to meet there price point between $75K-$100K (for the V) they would have the make some changes.
First, scale this baby way down. It originally was going to be as big as a big rig!
Then when the jet engines (Oh no!) along with a significant amount of horse power (Darn)! This also helped to meet fuel economy standards.
They also eliminated the wings and tail (This is why we can't have this baby flyi off the road in heavy traffic). They also changed the tires and rims for street driving. The rims were definitely an improvement!
The next thing they did was work on the convertible top. They realized the first convertible top was too rudamentary for a high end luxury vehicle.
They also realized that the vehicle had to have a least two seats! Think of what date night would be like if it only had one seat. You would arrive to your destination in the XLR and your signicant other would have to either drive their own vehicle, take a bus, train or taxi. What that would be like. Okay in some cases that would be just fine, but in general that's just wrong. You want to be together. So the car had to have two seats. There were some designers who insisted that the vehicle have four seats, but they were out voted and reassigned to the CTS program.
The designers also realized that they needed to make the XLR in more than just Black Raven. So they experimented with some rather unique color schemes, one of which is shown below:
I rather like this although it never made it to the final colors. Instead we have our great colors such as Xenon Blue, Crimson Red, Alpine White, Black Cherry Black Raven Crystal Red Elektra Blue, Platinum, Gray Flannel and Radiant Silver. Sorry if I left anyone out or mis-stated a color name.
Anyway that is how we really got the XLR. Do not believe the stories about development from the Cien or Evoq or Corvette. That is just mis-informtaion to keep you from the real truth!
Remember, the truth is out there and now we have it!
I especially want to that Special Agents who I will designate "M" and "S" who helped find this information!
