Questions and Comments
Technik: Der S-Type basierte auf dem Jaguar Mark II und war im Grunde eine aktualisierte, leicht vergrößerte Variante dieses Fahrzeugs. Zwar wurde der S-Type – anders als der Mark II – mit der bereits beim Mark X und E-Type verwendeten Hinterachskonstruktion mit Einzelradaufhängung versehen, teilte sich ansonsten jedoch vieles vom Karosserieaufbau mit dem Mark II. Türen, Windschutzscheibe und Motorhaube waren identisch, die vorderen Kotflügel wurden leicht überarbeitet übernommen. Das Dach wurde hinten für mehr Kopffreiheit angehoben und entsprechend die Heckscheibe verändert und steiler gestellt. Die markanten Stoßstangen des Mark II entfielen zugunsten dünnerer – und nach den Worten einiger Kritiker preiswerter herstellbarer – Einheiten. Die Heckpartie musste komplett neu entworfen werden, da die neue Einzelradaufhängung den Kofferraum sonst zu sehr eingeschränkt hätte. Deshalb wurde für die geänderte Hinterachskonstruktion ein längeres Heck im Stil des Mark X konstruiert. LG Tom
