The S-Type was produced at Jaguar's Castle Bromwich facility in Birmingham, England. The car was styled by Geoff Lawson and is based on the Jaguar DEW platform/Ford DEW platform, shared with the Lincoln LS. Later models of the S-Type R featured a revised pulley system for the Eaton M112 supercharger, allowing it to produce an extra hp (kW/PS). From 2006 to 2008, the fog lights were removed.
