Silverstone features beautifully stained bird's-eye maple wood trim. Seating is billed for four, but there's hardly enough legroom for any person in the rear. The XKR Silverstone coupe is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited at 155 mph. There's no question that this car can get there and maintain as easy as it is to hold down the electric window button.
Acceleration is smooth and powerful.
The Silverstone's suspension is designed to provide taut handling, which is most noticeable while driving through the Forest Preserves or through the expressway cloverleafs. Silverstone makes driving a pleasure equaled by very few vehicles. Ira Siegel is an Automotive Instructor and ASE Certified Master Auto Technician.
