1992 Cadillac Allante Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1992 Cadillac Allante. The car back in the day was as impressive as it's history. Making trips to italy and pininfarina design, and cadillac's first $50k + automobile. It was updated in 1993, which was also it's last year of production, with the northstar V8, the first cadillac to be fitted with it. By end of production it was topping $65-70k. Liquid crystal gauges, unique interior and exterior make this car one of the most unique cadillacs built at the time. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
It amazes me how much detail Cadillac put into this car.
They are very nice cars in person. Very well built cars with excellent materials used throughout. This was the best Cadillac during these years hands down.
Angelina Cortalano they charged more than a Porsche turbo for it.... so it better have some decent components
Than pininfarina.
Car was designed and made by Pininfarina (Italy), not Cadillac.
Then they were shipped over the puddle to be finished here.
@@bazan0448 puddle? I thought they called it the pond.
Love the sound of that engine when you rev it up. Look at those LCD Gage's in 92' Cadillac is always ahead of its time. Own a Cadillac and everything else is just ordinary.
I miss the square and round GM keys.
still got the oem ones from my 86 oldsmobile cutlass ciera
@@yamahonkawazuki My granddad had that same car!
this is one nice car , wish GM were still building these WOW
Instrument panel looks awesome. Like a blend between KITT from Knight Rider and a gas station pump
+SteelFlexInc That is a Liquid-Crystal digital display and only the 80s Chevrolet Corvette used liquid crystal for the digital dash.
It may have been overpriced, underpowered, and wrong-wheel-drive, but the neat look of the Allanté would go on to inspire the last generation Eldorados and Sevilles. When you consider that design dates back to the 1980s, it certainly aged well.
Those digital gauges were so far ahead of the time!!!
Lovejazz01 not really the Corvette C4 had them since the 80s
and the Cadillac Seville had them since 1978
@@mentallyhandicappedpoptart2649 the Corvette C4, Cadillac Eldorado, Fleetwood Brougham, Seville with panel digital
GM has a lot of cars like that. Some Oldsmobile Toronados talked, many Cadillacs had digital gauges and onboard computers as early as 1981, GM began using ALDL (OBD1) across all of their cars very early on, many Cadillacs have true onboard diagnostics which can print codes and messages right on the screen of the dash or the fuel center.
There was even an early electric car (EV-1) which was pretty decent, and an Oldsmobile with a touch screen CRT interface in the center console.
How the mighty have fallen!
@@mentallyhandicappedpoptart2649 The C4 had them in 1984 but Cadillac was putting trip computers in their dash boards in the late 1970s and full onboard diagnostics by 1982. That, and the Cadillac system shown here in the Allante is much more complex than the ones fitted to even late model C4s.
This car looks like a mix between a 1992 Maserati Ghibli (AM336) and a 1989 Aston Martin Virage, which is good company to have. I'm from the UK and a big fan of Cadillacs, Cadillacs are special cars. This Allante was ahead of its time and going from the promotional video a really well thought out and designed package for the Cadillac driver to enjoy.
i love the tons of buttons...its like a 90's stereo...need more cars with that type of interior
The ONLY Cadillac model I would ever consider owning. Nice tour. Thanks Kyle.
Man! That Allante with black on black looks beautiful.
Is indeed a pleasure for someone like me, a lover of cars, see your reviews, are excellent and help me learn more in detail many vehicles not know well.
I appreciate the car more than 80 and 90, thank you very much Kyle, all my support for your project on youtube.
I never knew such Cadillac exists but since i watched this video, its my top 5 best Cadillac. 1. 2004 Cadillac SeVille 2. 2002 Cadillac Eldorado 3. 1993 Cadillac Allante 4. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 5. 2005 Cadillac DeVille
+CeilingFans4UrLife Great choices!!!!
you just listed the most awful cars Cadillac ever made, with the exception of the Allante and escalade
If you like this, you might also like the Cadillac XLR. CHeck it out!
@@tehgzizlauw1787 Those last generation Sedan DeVille cars (2000-05) are tanks. The N* V8 is rock solid with the proper maintenance and TLC. The best DeVille ever made without question. I'd put that car with the Allante, Escalade, 1954-57 Cadillac, and Seville Slantback.
2004 Cadillac STS, you mean?
That 4.5L at the tailpipe is pure music!
excellent pininfarina design, and that looks like it's built properly too
Very different Cadillac but it's still a very nice one.
This was the best Cadillac from 87-93. They are superb cars when maintained and cared for the way they should be. I love mine.
Different, but not so different it's not a Cadillac like some of these new ones are. DTS, CTS, ATS, whatever happened to the Eldorado and the Deville? What if I want big, floaty sedan and not some souped up Buick?
I loved the center console with all the buttons and screens.. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff
There is so much information about this car that you could have shared. Like the fact that the body was built in Italy by a subsidiary of Ferrari by the name of pininfarina, or that at nearly $63,000 in 1992, it was the most expensive car Cadillac ever built and was not surpassed until over a decade later by the Escalade.. Or that it had a nickname of "the flying Caddy" because a Boeing 747 was specially equipped to fly 56 completed bodies at a time from Italy to the US where they were then fitted with their mechanicals components
Till this day best design on a door interior.
My grandfather had a '87 model, I used to love riding around in it with him back when I was 9 years old. Sounded awesome, looked awesome. His only real complaint about the car was finding a place to store the aluminum hardtop for it. He said that the only car that had ever come close to loving so much was his '64 mustang.
this car is so freaking awesome
They need to bring this car back.
The XLR was the successor to the Allante also sharing a 7 year production run from 2003 - 2009. Both cars have many similarities and I highly recommend either one.
I watched the video to see you let down the top!!! I bought one this winter with no manual and wanted to see how to get the thing down!!
The interior actually looks surprisingly well built for a Caddy in the early 90's. Reminds me of older BMWs.
+JukiReviews IT was very well built and used some high quality materials. The leather used for the seats and door panels was thick leather and very high quality. I have a 93 Allante and its a very fun car to drive.
Pinon Farrari designed the car with Italian leather upholstery, 56 bodies at a time were flown on 747's from Italy to Detroit and mounted on GM chassis, longest assembly line in the world, Cadillac stopped production after 7 yrs because estimated loses were 5 grand per car, base price apprx 65K......
You review a convertible and don't show the top going down? Seriously!?
+mmmfloorpie It's a tour not a review.
+mmmfloorpie Maybe if you watch his newer vids, it'll be much better then this old one.
+mmmfloorpie There is always room for improvement. But he always does a nice job showcasing each and every vehicle he does. Each video gets better and better.
He's done that often, just check out his 1988 BMW 325i video.
It's a manual top, not easy to operate, and electrical releases usually don't work on high mileage Allantes anyway...
I usually hate digital gauges, but I love the ones in this beauty.
Thank you so much, Kyle. Very nice video. Beatiful rare car, a real rare find. I am a big Cadillac fan and I love the variety on your channel. As always, two thumbs way high.
It kinda looks like a 2 door version of the Albany Primo from GTA
Makes since since that GTA car is based on the Cadillac STS of the early 90s
Mathew Stephenson thought it was the Plymouth Acclaim
This car is probably the only reason I have ever watched Tango and Cash movie :)
I just bought a triple black 92 Allante. Only 253 made in that year/color. Wish the stereo worked. But I will fix it. Cool car and fun to drive. Thanks for posting.
Great video as always Kyle! What a beautiful Cadillac!
that is a beautiful cadillac
beauty car design
Beautiful underrated car, and great vid as usual! On a side note, didn't people used to get trapped in these cars? Something about the door latches not functioning properly in hot weather? Would not keep me from buying one to find out though haha
That is a beautiful car. I've always loved these cars since I first saw them. This one, I think should be considered a "mantle piece" car. A car that should go to either a collector or someone that knows these are rare. It' would be a pitty to see it messed up in any way.
That jazz station is the only station that should be played in a car like that.
Looks like every early 90s car , square Buick/GM sedan look. Plain Jane. Even the Deville of this year looks very similar. Reminds me of every car u see in traffic scenes of 89-93 movies
Very very nice Car. I have always liked the Cadillac Allante very much. Great cars.
Got to love the midi trumpets
I'd love to have one of these someday.
Never get tired of hearing that V8.
Interesting car.I worked for an individual that set his up for racing. He had lowered it using some Eibach springs and mounted some 18" on it. He then raced it at Limerock in CT. It was red with a white top. One of the better looking Allante's I had seen.
Funny to say but i just bought me an allante in 3/26/19 my is a 1988 im in love with it.... lol hey do you think you can help me out with the lowering spring set up i would love to lower minds thanks
thats the coolest dash ive ever seen. its like a spaceship
The newwwwwwwwwww Allante (Kelly Bundy)
D.L.G yesssss!!!!!! Lmao
It was somewhat a big deal, when it first came out. The Italian made body, was a major selling point. It's dated now, but was slick back then!
This car has a very impressive history indeed. I really like how the interior is styled.
This is a very nice video for 10 years old! I saw a 91 for sale near me and was just curious about the car. Very nice video!
exellent as always man!! keep it up, best reviewer around, seriously.
Great video, icing on the cake if you let the top down!
One of the most beautiful Cadillacs!
Very nice video. Does you camera has image stabilization? Anyway, this car is so unique and interesting. Showing the tachometer close, was a nice idea. Thank you for posting.
Still a beautiful car today 👍🏼
I wish they still had glass dashes today, they are safer in the sense that you can scan them faster and get back to the business of driving. When you revved this car it reminded me of the movie "The Car".. lol..
the only thing, that i don't lice about that car is the digital gages, but the car looks phenomenal
nice car thanks for showing
When watching the video you can see that the message center says "anti-lock brakes disabled" and the parking light is lit up in the dash panel. This what amounts to a failing brake master cylinder, and a very costly repair.. Time to run away from this car, unless you want to spend a couple grand. Been there and done that with my 1992, exactly like this one.
+Stefano Milano No don't run away. Its worth fixing and keeping. Every car has its pros and cons.
AMCNorthstar 93 or swap the motor
Why would you swap the motor? He was talking about the braking system which is capable of being swap to the conventional GM braking system.
AMCNorthstar 93 oops wasnt paying attention
That's alright. :)
usually i dont like digital gauges but those are awesome
great video)) adoring Cadillac
and that the music played on the radio at 6:45
i had this exact car its the best car i ever owned i loved it so much got it four years ago with only 33k miles and all i had to do was replace the fuel pump system it was fast as all hell too and was in a movie with charlie sheen😎
Thanks for the vid Kyle! The taillights are pretty cool on this car :p
very intresting sound of the blinkers
Well made video,thanks for posting this
that's cool!, i can't believe they have so many luxuries in a car that old
Cadillac used to make such amazing cars.
The only station that deserves to be played in a car such as this.
nice video!! i've always liked those cars. This is not a request by any means but if you happen to come across a nice cadillac catera, try to get a review on it, you definetly don't see too many of those anymore as well, just like the allante
In GTA IV, the Albany Primo retains its four-door sedan design, but is influenced heavily by the 1987-1993 Cadillac Allante but has a four door sedan design most likely from a 90s/80s GM A-body, like the 1989-1996 Buick Century. The top of the trunk lid seems loosely inspired by 1992-2004 Cadillac Sevilles
Hey Kyle. Do you know if that was the stock exhaust? Cause if it was it sounded awesome!!
Search about the manufacture of this car. Its really interesting.
These cars travel hundreds of miles between the factory and Pininfarina before arrive in dealership.
Pininfarina design... great car
What a cool car!
real nice car. its classy and sporty
god i had one of these cars and it was absolutely beautiful
Great review!
@MetallicBill Not to be outdone, the 96-00 Ford Taurus S.H.O. and 1994-2001 Lincoln Continental have a transverse 4.6 V8. They have equal length drive-shafts so they don't torque steer too bad.
My dad has a 1992 allante identical to this one just sitting up in his garage.
I want to buy it from him and restore it
Either the torque converter or the transmission needs replacing. That's all it needs besides
New battery, fresh fuel and new tires.
With that car you are a gentleman!
yes
omg its like a 1991 starship inside ..wow nice!
very clean car
aye DAB for the digital dash
fav car of all time
iswear onme did you just comment aye dab
Nice job only American car I liked from the Dallas days and it wouldn’t have been bad in the UK 🇬🇧even a bit of night rider about it too
its funny how most critics bashed this car somewat because of all the buttons and the gauge clusters...but now buttons are everywhere in new cars today and much more complex..just ironic....
Nice Caddy Kyle
I drive the Buick version. The Reatta
@blackseries99 there is no problem with that sir. But if you don't like it, please keep it to yourself. If you write those kind of mean comments on this channel, alot of people will start annoying you. Therefore, it is best not to write it. You can maybe do it on some other channel but not on this one.
@stutzman2
Can i ask u if are those powerful engines? and what's the top speed u did with ur car? i want to know more from this Northstart... i live in Europe and yes we have some cadillac's.. but nothing to compare on these models. And i mean the old good models. But the CTS-V and Escalade are pretty nice and powerful cars..
@abweiss I almost bought one of these (and a Reatta) a few years ago, problem with both cars is they used mostly specialty parts (and other electronic do-dads) which are difficult to replace. The Reatta had a little 4in CRT touch screen for its trip computer looked similar to Space Invaders, good luck replacing it.
@ipomd the gauges were actually based on the boeing 737
The car's awesome!!!!!!
What a beauty! O_O
I have never heard of a allante! did the xlr replace this car?
@gruffdan They were actually flown to the states in specially equipped Boeing 747 cargo aircraft.
Hint of Aston Martin V8 Zagato too, all nice cars.
Kyle if you haven’t yet, you should do it’s cousin the Buick reatta
Curious.....Approx. how much were you asking for this car? You've probably sold it, seeing it was almost 2 years ago.... But if not? and if you did, what did you get for it?
From a distance, It looks a like a Lancia Monte Carlo :)
Very rare indeed. I've can't say I've ever seen one.
Jim Dayton yup neighbor has one. Most expensive they had at the tome
Jim Dayton time
very good car)
Gotta love that ugly legion of similar-looking buttons on the dash.
