Jaguar S-Type wallpaper, photos, images and pictures. The Jaguar S-Type, introduced at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show, is a mid-size luxury/executive car, the car went on sale 1999. The name was a revival of a previous Jaguar model, the S-Type introduced in 1963, while the bodywork appeared to have been inspired by the Jaguar Mark 2 of the same period. The supercharged S-Type R joined the lineup in 2003 and the hope was that it would compete with the likes of BMW's M5 and the Mercedes E55 AMG. The "R" was powered by a supercharged V8 producing 390 hp (290 kW; 400 PS) , and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.3 s (0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.6 s). It included 18 in (457 mm) alloy wheels, wire-mesh grille and dramatic monochromatic paint. The "R" also has a sportier 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 wings. It was the most expensive S-Type, with a base price of £50,040 in the UK (US$58,995 in the United States).
