Car enthusiasts in the capital city have just exhibited their unique Jaguar collection in a luxury urban area in Hanoi. Notably, there are 3 Jaguar S-Types in silver, white and striking dark blue.
It seems that many car enthusiasts in the capital have been fascinated by the “sexy” beauty of these 3 mid-size sedans from the UK, so they found ways to collect and play together.
In addition to the 3 S-Types, there is also a Jaguar XJ which is also considered rare in Vietnam.
The S-Type Jaguar was produced from 1999-2008 and replaced by the XF sedan. The S-Type was produced at Jaguar’s Castle Bromwich factory in Birmingham, England, designed and developed by Geoff Lawson based on the Ford DEW structure. This structure was jointly developed by Jaguar and Ford engineers along with the first product, the Lincoln LS.
The Jaguar S-Type was produced from 1999 to 2002 with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission. From 2003, the Jaguar S-Type used a 5-speed manual or 6-speed J-Gate automatic transmission. Starting in 2004, the diesel version was equipped with a 6-speed manual or optional 6-speed J-Gate automatic transmission.
According to insider information, the Jaguar S-Types in Vietnam have two main engines, a 3.0-liter V6 generating a maximum power of 243 horsepower and a maximum torque of 293 Nm. Combined with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, the engine allows the Jaguar S-Type to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in about 6.9 seconds before reaching a top speed of 250 km/h.
Another option is the V8 engine with a 4.2-liter displacement, producing a maximum power of 280 horsepower and a maximum torque of 411 Nm, combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission. As a result, the Jaguar S-Type takes about 6.5 seconds to accelerate to 97 km/h from a standing position before reaching a top speed of 250 km/h.
