The XK150 was notable for its more modern styling, which included a wider body and larger windows, providing improved visibility and a more spacious interior. The "S" designation indicated a higher performance variant, equipped with a more powerful engine. The XK150S was fitted with a 3.4-liter or 3.8-liter inline-six engine, capable of producing up to 250 horsepower, allowing it to achieve impressive acceleration and top speeds for its time.

The OTS variant, being an open two-seater, appealed to enthusiasts who valued the driving experience and the connection to the road that a convertible offers. The XK150S OTS combined luxury with performance, featuring leather upholstery, a well-appointed dashboard, and advanced engineering for its era.

Production of the XK150 continued until 1961, with a total of around 9,000 units produced across all variants. The model is celebrated not only for its performance but also for its role in establishing Jaguar as a prominent name in the sports car market. Today, the XK150S OTS is highly regarded among collectors and classic car enthusiasts, symbolizing a golden era of automotive design and engineering.
