Jaguar XKR-S Runway Speed Test at 186 mph
Welcome to El Centro Naval Air Base, 1.5 hours outside of San Diego where Tom Cruise’s Top Gun was filmed. Jaguar chose the world-famous location because of its two runways that allow for extended speed evaluations. The east/west runway is 9,500 feet long and handles 96% of the traffic, which would be either red, white or blue XKR-S Coupes and Convertibles on this day. The goal was to see who could reach or breach the car’s 186 mph top speed!
