The Jaguar S-Type was initially introduced way back in 1963 though the nameplate was revived in the late ‘90s. After being launched at the Birmingham Motor Show in ’98, the model re-entered the market in early ’99. The mid-size executive/luxury car was manufactured at the company’s Birmingham, England-based Castle Bromwich facility. The Jaguar S-Type R was introduced as the supercharged version of the revived S-Type model in 2002 and its powertrain was tuned to take on the likes of the Mercedes E55 AMG and the BMW M5. The four-door sedan received a number of upgrades both inside and out and was eventually discontinued in early 2008. The model line was replaced by the Jaguar XF range.
