A superb blend of sheer luxury and awesome power under the hood, the 2008 Jaguar S-Type is inspiring to look at and thrilling to drive. The car boasts advanced technology every step of the way, and, new for this year, comes in three models:

• S-Type 3.0



• S-Type 4.2



• S-Type R

Whichever model you choose, as you can see in the S-Type picture above, this car is one car you'll never forget. For more information about individual S-Type cars, or for S-Type performance specs that are second to none, we hope you enjoy our S-Type review here on this site.

The way S-Type cars perform, you would think you're driving the car of your dreams:

• On the S-Type 3.0, the spirited response of the 235 horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 is controlled through a smooth-shifting five-speed manual transmission



• On the S-Type 4.2, a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution and fully independent suspension manufactured from weight-saving aluminum are more than capable of handling the 293 horsepower with poise and precision.



• On the S-Type R, a 390-horsepower supercharged engine with twin intercoolers gives acceleration from zero to sixty mph in 5.3 seconds.

If all of this isn't enough, the 2008 Jaguar S-Type is the first car in its class to offer a state-of-the-art six-speed automatic transmission. Indeed, these are bonuses that you can't see from the average S-Type picture, but they are wonders nevertheless.

As you can see from the S-Type picture above, this is a beautiful car. All S-Type vehicles are distinguished by elegant seven-spoke 16-inch Artemis wheels. Other exterior equipment includes power-adjustable heated door mirrors, automatic on/off headlamps and convenient reverse park control. The optional Sport Package also includes dramatic five-spoke 17-inch 'Herakles´ alloy wheels. This, however, is only the beginning of top-quality features. Inside the 2008 S-Type cars, standard amenities include:

• Rich bird´s eye maple veneers



• Multifunction steering wheel



• Optional leather-trimmed steering wheel



• Optional 180-watt audio system with MPE and CD

With features like these, it's no wonder Jaguar experts keep describing the 2008 Jaguar S-Type as the epitome of luxury.

Here in our S-Type review, we also describe the cars as the epitome of safety. Major safety features in all models include:

• Driver and front passenger front and side-impact airbags



• Side curtain airbags



• Adaptive Restraint Technology System



• Pretensioning seatbelts
