The mandatory limiter fitted at factory is 186 mph. But you can order it to be removed.

You'd better spec different tyres as well as I beleive these are the limiting factor of going above 186mph

I'm certainly not looking to go 200 MPH with my car but it seem's the SVR is a 200 miler. Also I saw on Grand Tour, the XE was also tuned by Jaguar to exceed 200MPH, but those were built in limited numbers.

The f type's seem quite heavy at over 1.6 tons compared to other car's in it's peer group.

Yes. The Saphire Cosworth I had was a 1989 2wd that was the 1988-89 Brands hatch pace car. I bought through a closed Ford sale. It was being replaced by a new 1990 4WD version. It was running 305bhp. Lovely car but a bit of a handful in the wet.
May I ask, in your signature you say your car is the V8R AWD Stage 2 . What mods have been done & what power is it making.

Sure its a DMS Remap and Pulley kit, they call this a stage II. Apparently it is around the 620 HP. Mid range is where the main difference is IMO,
