IS????

 

155 MPH - Electronically limited. UK models at any rate....

 

55mph in the state of Virginia with a few spurts to around 90 (when passing)

 

What about me here in the USA. What is the speed limited at on these stock?

 

Nice 97. It seems to sit really high in the rear.

But just because it’s quiet doesn’t mean it can’t perform. We had a chance to drive the XK8 on Pocono Raceway’s short road course during a training session one day and were able to whip it around the tight turns and blast through the banked turns with ease. My only fear was that big cement wall lurking on my left, but once I learned to ignore it I was able to extract a few more mph out of the beast. Top speed in the Convertible is an electronically limited 155 mph, so you know it can do more. The E-type was only able to get to 150 mph. Only.
