2008 Jaguar S-Type - New Player on Market

To tell the truth, S-Type Jaguar is known to the public since 1999. Also, there are some propositions, to replace it with a completely new model - the XF in 2009. These cars belong to E2 category (premium business class), the competition is extremely tough here and since 1999 Jaguar sedan S-Type is an important player there. These cars are made on the Ford LS1 platform. The new S-Type is a sedan car with a rather interesting shape that combines the retro chic and brand new look of a luxurious sport car. Creating of this car was inspired by first of all, previous cars in the Jaguar model range, than, by such cars as the RD6 and R-Coupe. Some people do believe, that the look of this car was taken from the XK coupe. It is going to be on sales next year.

For the first time, the society have seen Jaguar S-Type on the London motor-show in 1963. It can be called “Noting special!” Because it was a model with one aim to fill the gap between two existing Jaguar-models Mk II and an extremely popular car Mk X. It was spent 680 million of dollars onto it development. Half of this sum was spent onto the modernization of existing plant in Birmingham - finally, it became the only one plant, covering the whole stages of car-production. Since then, this car is known to us and gains the popularity!

Those lucky guys, which have already seen one, reported that:

• In such model as XJ sedan and XK was widely used aluminum, but in this model, its usage will be minimized. But it will be still present, mainly in to save weight. The interior looks much alike with XK model.
• The engine will have no changes - it will be the same lineup. All standard cars will be installed with a six-speed automatic.
• This car has a new front and rear fascias, S-Type R bumper and mesh grille, leather seats and steering, ABS+EBD, TC, DSC.
• This car has an electronic suspension-control system (CATS), new wheels and rubber of Z-type.
• Max. speed of the new Jaguar S-Type is 240 km/h.

It is a new luxurious sport sedan. It has the latest technical appliances as well, such as: mobile phone, navigation system, etc. The most t interesting appliance of this car is a system of voice-control. It is not made yet, but it already has a number of opponents. They call this car the snows of yesteryear. But, as form me, such a design makes this car even more noticeable and attractive for buyers.
