performance Jaguar Type R, for example, of this brawny Jag S-type
R-400 horsepower, 408 pound-feet of torque, giant brakes, 18-inch
low-profile tires-and one might conclude that the Brits were
looking to trump BMW's supersport, the M5. For the R, an Eaton
blower is bolted on, spinning five percent faster than the one in
the XJR and XKR and exhaling 13.1 pounds of boost per inch through
twin air-to-water intercoolers! This example was built in the
company?s Castle Bromwich Assembly in Birmingham, England and like
all S-Type examples, it has the firm?s slinky, sinewy and sexy
styling from the period, backed by the muscle of a 4.2L
Supercharged V-8. Finished in Platinum (code MDZ), the car?s paint
and trim are in overall excellent order, the bodywork is straight
and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the trunk area looks
good and the body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body. This Cat
rolls on Continental Extreme Contact radials, size 245/40ZR18 in
front and 275/35ZR18 in back. Each one is mounted on a factory,
five-star alloy wheel. The wheels are in excellent order while the
tires are in very good condition. Within reside Brembo disc brakes.
Under that counterbalanced hood is Jaguar?s hand-built 4.2L, DOHC,
32-valve V-8 with variable valve timing and an Eaton M112
supercharger. The engine makes about 390 horsepower and 387 lbs-ft
of torque. It is joined to a ZF six-speed automatic transmission
(code ZF 6HP26). Driver convenience features include electronic
climate control, power rack-and-pinion steering, power four wheel
disc brakes, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power and
heated sideview mirrors, power and heated front seats. Safety
equipment included Xenon headlights, dual front airbags and
anti-lock brakes. Inside, the cream-colored leather interior is in
overall very good order with leather-wrapped bucket seats up front
and a cozy rear bench. The contrasting black carpet looks great, as
does the cream headliner with a sunroof. The four-spoke steering
wheel is ready for more adventures while the inner door panels and
dashboard echo the rest of the interior?s condition. Bird?s-Eye
Maple wood trim adorns the dash and inner door panels. The center
console and console-mounted J-gate shift lever are in fine form
while a factory AM/FM stereo with CD player rounds out the
interior. The first S-Types (?X200? 1999?2002) are distinguished by
a U-shaped center console and optional touchscreen navigation
system in the 2003 and later models. The traditional leaping jaguar
bonnet 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 (?X202,? ?X204,? ?X206?; the last digit denoting
the model year) have the Jaguar logo incorporated within the
radiator grille and a more traditional ?looped? styling for the
center console. The supercharged S-Type R (Jaguar STR for short)
joined the lineup in 2002 and the hope was that it would compete
with BMW?s M5 and the Mercedes E55 AMG. The R was powered by the
newly revised hand-built 4.2L V-8 with an Eaton M112 supercharger,
producing 400 horsepower. It included 18-inch alloy wheels,
wire-mesh grille and monochromatic paint. The R also has a rear
apron, side-skirts, and front apron with built-in fog-lamps, a rear
spoiler, a brace located near the rear subframe and R badging on
the boot lid and both front fenders (wings). Also added on the 2003
model was an electronic parking-brake paddle-switch that replaced
the conventional manually operated lever for the rear brakes.
Competition to this Jag in 2003 included Acura?s RL, Audi?s RS6,
Cadillac?s CTS, BMW?s M5, Infiniti?s I30, Lexus ES 300, Lincoln?s
LS and Mercedes-Benz?s E55 AMG. If you?re looking for a modern
