Default supercharged x-type?

I am not familiar with a supercharged x-type, is this a typo? I think it is since its stating 227hp...

I really like this model, is that factory like that? obviously they blacked out the lights, wheles etc but otherwise is that a special model? seems like a very reasonable price.

Unless someone put a supercharger on, it is a typo as there was no factory supercharged X-Type. The info at the bottom only says 3.0 V6.

It is a Sport Edition, but certainly not Supercharged. They probably don't know what they're selling.

I'm calling BS on this. The power that they list is the factory power rating. If you are truely looking for it being supercharged, I would tell you to write them and have them send you a picture of the engine bay. It will be easy to see if it is supercharged or not. Another sneakier way is to ask them what size intercooler they have installed. if they answer inter-what, then you know they don't have a supercharger installed. If they tell you that they don't have an intercooler installed, then I wouldn't want it.

I spoke with the guy and he is just a basic used car dealer, obviously has no clue about the car. I want him to send me more pics becasue it looks like its missing the front valence. I'm not a fan of the rear body piece though, does anyone know if its an option to remove it?
