The S Type was styled by designer Geoff Lawson and built at the companies Castle Bromwich plant. Based on the Jaguar DEW platform/Ford DEW platform, shared with the Lincoln LS. The production run can be split into pre-faclift cars 1999-02 and facelift cars 2002-08. The first S-Types are distinguished by a U-shaped centre console and optional touch-screen navigation system in the 2003 and later models. The traditional leaping jaguar hood ornament was optional even though it is approved by the US and EU standards and breaks away in the case of an accident.
Subsequent models have the Jaguar logo incorporated within the radiator grille and a more traditional 'looped' styling for the centre console.
A minor facelift on the 2005 model year featured redesigned front and rear aprons, a slightly modified grille, remodeled rear light clusters, an aluminium bonnet, and a new 2.7-litre V6 diesel engine with 207 hp he windscreen washer jets were incorporated into the windscreen wiper arms. There were no changes made to the cabin interior.
The S-Type was powered by a variety of petrol and diesel engines. At launch, the V8 S-Type was powered by the 4.0L Jaguar AJ-V8 engine, the capacity of which was increased to 4.2L in 2002 V6 engines used are the Ford Duratec unit which is used extensively throughout the Ford model range (and in Ford subsidiary companies) and was available as a 2.5, 2.7 and 3.0 litre at various times during the production run.
THIS CAR
was an engineering develope,emt vehicle that was being used at the recently opened Jaguar Test Centre at the Nurburgring. It was decided to race prepare the car, to race in the 2004 Nurburgring 24 hour race, to test its durability. The race that year took place in filthy weather conditions and the Jaguars race was interupted in the 16th hour by an accident, when the car was running in fourth place in the Diesel class, the damage is still evident. Emergency repairs were carried out trackside and the car was eventually able to continue, finishing 8th in class and 113th overall. The car was later used for promotional purposes, before being passed to the Jaguar Daimler heritage trust in 2006
