This is a very beautiful Jaguar. The way you see it is the way it is maintained. Always garaged, it has the classic styling of the early Jaguars with modern engineering for durability, speed and elegance. In 2005, the S-Type received a mild refreshing with a revised interior, a retuned suspension, and the addition of the great ZF six-speed transmission as standard on all models.

The high-performance trim line - designated "R" - boasts a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 that spins out 400-hp and 400-lb ft of torque with a sports configured suspension laced up with big Brembo brakes. The supercharger offers immediate response, linear power, and what feels like limitless torque. When the supercharger sings, this almost 2-ton beauty can flash from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds and reach an electronically governed 155 mph.

The ZF six-speed, considered by some as the best automatic out there - used on the new BMW 7 Series - adapts to the driving conditions. In sport mode, it holds the gear for corners and hills and stays in fifth until it senses a steady state for 30 seconds. Power flows through this silky smooth transmission to Jaguar's unique Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS) that uses electronic control systems dynamically to tune the suspension in accordance with the driving conditions. You get it all: dampening when the road gets rough, firmness through the corners with sensitivity to changing road conditions. The R comes with ABS and Emergency Brake Assist, Dynamic Stability Control, and traction control. It even has an aluminum hood to improve the car's weight distribution.

Rich leather, stitched upholstery wraps the passengers in close, luxurious comfort. The R offers tighter front seating with increased bolstering to hold the occupants in on those twisty roads. The rear seats 60/40 split fold down to increase cargo space.

With the whine of the supercharger, the sinuous body styling, the close, well-appointed cockpit, and the masterful command of the road - this Jaguar will make you feel like you've arrived.

Is this a Jaguar or Land Rover of the future? Yes, the near future

Tue, Feb 18 2020

Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a concept vehicle, Project Vector, that the company heralds as preview of future urban transport. The Project Vector is an EV, naturally, and is built on a skateboard chassis with all mechanicals under the floor. That provides for maximum space efficiency in the city-sized vehicle—JLR says it's roughly four meters long, which would make it about half a foot longer than today's Mini Cooper hardtop. It also allows for reconfigurability. The interior is accessed via dual center-opening sliding doors on one side. Four individual seats appear to be mounted on tracks and are shown facing in the same direction, but JLR also says the vehicle can be adapted for delivery use (presumably with most of the seats removed). Project Vector is described as "autonomous-ready," but for now it has a steering wheel and pedals. It's also claimed to be optimized for ride-sharing or private use. The vehicle was developed at the UK's National Automotive Innovation Centre, with the intention to make it a part of the "urban mobility solutions" in the "ecosystem of a smart city," according to JLR. The first such smart city will be Coventry, where an "urban mobility service" will be launched in 2021.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Jaguar Land Rover CEO: Wrong Brexit deal will cost thousands of UK jobs

Tue, Sep 11 2018

BIRMINGHAM, England — The wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of jobs, the boss of Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover warned on Tuesday, saying he had no idea whether his plants would be able to operate after Britain leaves the European Union next year. Ralf Speth also said that the company would not be able to build cars if customs checks meant that the motorway to and from the southern English port of Dover, which is used to transport components, becomes a "car park" due to snarl-ups of people no longer able to move freely among EU countries. Speth made the warning at a conference in Birmingham, central England, speaking shortly before Prime Minister Theresa May, who is battling to have her so-called Chequers Brexit plan accepted by many in her Conservative Party as well as the EU ahead of Britain's departure from the bloc on March 29. "A thousand (jobs were) lost as a result of diesel policy, and those numbers will be counted in the tens of thousands if we do not get the right Brexit deal," warned Speth, referring to redundancies made earlier this year at the firm. "Currently I do not even know if any of our manufacturing facilities in the UK will be able to function on the 30th," he said. The boss of JLR, which built nearly a third of Britain's cars last year, also said long-standing issues around low productivity in Britain could be compounded by a Brexit agreement which made the country less competitive. "It is thousands of pounds cheaper to produce vehicles for instance in Eastern Europe than in Solihull, and what decisions will I be forced to make if Brexit means not merely that costs go up but that we cannot physically build cars on time and on budget in the UK?" he said.Reporting by Costas Pitas
