Missing from the Eldorado lineup was the previously offered Sport Coupe that could be ordered either with a Sport Appearance Package (SAP) or Sport Performance Package (SPP - of which the SAP was included).
The Eldorado Touring Coupe is designed to create a higher standard of driving satisfaction through the strength and agility of its exclusive Northstar System: a union of powertrain, suspension, and safety features that allows it to function like your partner on the highway -- a responsive companion to you, the driver.
The Eldorado Touring Coupe, with the Northstar System is in tune with a more international driving style because its 295-horsepower Northstar V8 gives you sustained response, even at highway speeds. The technology within is a showcase on any road, in any country.
Inside the Eldorado Touring Coupe, every detail focuses on your need for control and refinement. The aesthetics of a personal performance car are most pronounced, from the backlit analogue gauges and hand-finished Zebrano wood to the enhanced safety of dual front air bags. There's exceptional comfort too, with patented power lumbar supports that adjust to the precise height and depth you require to provide optimum back support. Cadillac's philosophy of promoting a union of the driver and the driving has resulted in the creation of a higher standard of motoring excellence. Easy-to-read analogue instrumentation is housed under a gently curved panel designed to orient you to the road.
Eldorado creates a higher standard of expression for the North American driver. From its 270-hp Northstar V8 to its new dual elliptical exhaust outlets, one ride lets you know: This is a luxury coupe that responds to those who demand a higher standard of performance and refined comfort.
