Around 140. Only did it once.... but so much can go wrong and you are toast. I usually do short bursts of 100... last weekend I did 120. Keep in mind this is on straight flat country roads with nobody around and no entrance or exits for miles where people can jump on.

126 Last weekend...so says the GPS.

I think someone has gotten it up to 180 something... not sure if that's been verified, but it's been said.

Make sure there are no trees or brush by this road. A friend was speed testing his M3 out in the country and a deer jumped from behind a tree when he was at about 70 on his way down from about 140, needless to say the car and deer are no more and he is one lucky *******. None of us want to see another XF in the junkyard....

My 04' Limited Coupe was Just a hair under 160mph when the governor kicked in. It still had some speed left if it hadn't
My 05' SRT Coupe, I have had at 174mph but hope to achieve 190mph this season.

Trees are way off to the side. Flat highway but sometimes there are large hills so you can see down the highway for miles. Also works out good for spotting cops.

Both cars: until they just can't go any faster !

I haven't taken the SRT on any high speed runs since I've had the tune done. Once you've proven to yourself that the cars really CAN do those kinds of speed the urge to do it again, with all of the inherent risks, just isn't there. I may do it again sometime in the future with the SRT but then again, maybe not!
We have a highway just out of town that is nothing but river bottomlands; no driveways, no intersecting roads for miles, just flat land & plenty of trees & water.......and the occasional deer, turkey or misc. varmint.
The latter is the spooky part. I'm not overly fond of the idea of zipping around at over 160 & trying to deal with a deer that decides now is the time to cross the road.

Actually, there was a new Audi TT with me one day and we were both doing about 130. He was behind me

By the way, it is a 2 lane 70 MPH interstate. A few miles up the road it turns to an 80 MPH. I think that is the first and only 80 MPH strip in the country. I usually cruise at 90 MPH so I really am not going too fast over the speed limit. And NO-- I don't live in Germany

Allegedly, I have had the roadster to 140 and the SRT6 to 150. Both had more power but I was running out of "safe" road.
