The S-Type has been updated for 2005. On the outside, an aluminum hood reduces weight, body panels have been re-engineered for tighter fit, and the rear-end styling has been updated. On the inside you will find revised instrumentation and an available aluminum finish. All models now feature a 6-speed manual. The 390hp S-TYPE R has been reduced in price by $4125.
