Vehicle Description
Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 2003 Jaguar S-Type R
with 17,713 actual miles for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom.
The Jaguar S-Type sedan is a model introduced in 1999 (for the 2000
model year) by the British Jaguar luxury division of the Ford Motor
Company. The name was a revival of a previous Jaguar model, the
S-Type, introduced originally in 1964. And for 2003, a new addition
to Jaguar's popular S-Type line is primed to expose those racy
roots even more.
This Jaguar is for the driver who wants sports-car performance with
luxo-sedan convenience and comfort, it doesn't get any better than
this. It can get fancier, it can entail even more power, and it can
get a whole lot more expensive. But not better, when better is
defined as quicker and more agile.
From behind the wood and leather steering wheel, the changes and
upgrades wrought to the cabin are substantial. The previous
instrument panel, with its half-moon-shaped upper-console section,
has been tossed in favor of a more traditional and elegant design.
The leather is more supple, the ergonomics have improved, and the
materials appear more upscale than those in previous S-Types. A new
single-piece magnesium casting lies at the foundation of the entire
dash panel, tightening fixed points for attachment of all related
components. Jaguar's adaptive restraint system, which tailor's
airbag deployment according to occupant size and position, has now
found its way into the S-Type from more costly models.
The exterior is finished in Quartz, with silver and black accents.
The carmaker enhanced the front of the car with a new apron that
lost the fog lights but gained on the aerodynamic look. On the
sides, the S-Type R featured specific side sills, while in the
back, it received a new bumper. A lip-spoiler decorated the
redesigned trunk lid. It's chromed slat that spread between the
taillights showed the Jaguar lettering broader than on the
non-facelifted version.
The supercharged S-Type R joined the lineup in 2003. The "R" is
powered by a supercharged V8 producing 390 hp (291 kW) and can go
from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 s (0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 s). It includes 18
in (457 mm) wheels, a wire mesh grille and dramatic monochromatic
paint. The R also has a sportier front fascia with fog lamps
built-in, a matte black rear spoiler, a brace located near the rear
subframe, and "R" badging on the rear deck lid and both front
fenders.
