Introduced in the spring of 1999, as a 2000 Model is the all-new luxury sports sedan named the S-Type. This unique model is a welcome addition to Jaguars line-up of luxury motorcars and has impressed the world over with its powerful 3.0L V6 engine and the optional 4.0L V8 capable of producing 281 horsepower and 287 lb ft of torque at a low 4300 rpm. Both engines are mated to a 5 speed automatic transmission that generates smooth and accurate shifting across the entire power range. And of course it would not be a Jaguar if the transmission did not offer both normal and sport modes, sport for when you feel like a spirited ride through the countryside or down a twisty back road. Safety and control are another consideration when producing a vehicle with the S-Types capabilities. Jaguar has made Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) available as options on the S-Type to further enhance its performance threshold. This is definitely a car worthy of consideration for folks who are looking for a luxury sedan. Jaguar has outdone itself with this truly bold and tasteful automobile. |
