2008 Jaguar S-Type

2008 Jaguar S-Type Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Jaguar S-Type

Like all Jaguars, the midsize S-Type sedan is stylish and sporty, especially the top-of-the-line S-Type R with a supercharged V8. The base Jaguar S-Type 3.0 has a 3.0-liter V6 engine; the Jaguar S-Type 4.2 has a 4.2-liter V8; supercharging this V8 gives the Jaguar S-Type R 400 horsepower. The S-Type has almost, but not quite, lived down its origin, sharing a platform with the (now discontinued) Lincoln LS, also from parent company Ford. It will be discontinued in the spring of 2008 and be replaced in the lineup by the new XF sedan.
