Elegant, effortlessly powerful and serene, the Continental
Concept blends meticulous craftsmanship and technologies designed
to create better drivers and provide passengers with a more
relaxing and entertaining environment inspired by first-class
travel.
“Luxury at its best is about simplifying and quietly exceeding
expectations, rather than being the loudest statement on the road,”
said Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company president and CEO. “The
Continental Concept showcases the promise of quiet luxury from
Lincoln going forward. It also is a strong indication of what’s to
come next year as we introduce our new Lincoln Continental
full-size luxury sedan.”
With a sleek silhouette and a new centered chrome grille, the
Continental Concept signals the arrival of a new face for Lincoln.
A raised Lincoln badge is surrounded by a span of repeating
polished aluminum Lincoln Star emblems.
E-Latch door handles tuck discreetly in the clean vehicle
beltline. The door handle technology also provides for elegant
entry. The doors open effortlessly with the touch of a button
positioned on the underside of the door handle wings and close
quietly.
“Some brands talk about ‘the machine,’ ” said Kumar Galhotra,
Lincoln president. “Lincoln is different. For us, it is about more
than the machine. It is about what our vehicles do for our
clients.”
New technology is a hallmark of the vehicle. It starts with the
vehicle sensing your approach and lighting up to greet you inside
and out.
Outside, signature full-width tail lamps feature advanced
light-through-chrome technology. Powerful LED matrix head lamps
with laser-assist high beams reduce glare and improve
visibility.
Rhapsody Blue metallic paint calls back Lincoln Continental’s
signature color.
Inside are the brand’s most sensual materials ever, including
Venetian leather seat and door panels, Alcantara® seat inserts and
armrests, satin headliner and shearling wool carpet. Rose Gold trim
around the instrument cluster provides warmth. Bright chrome trim
on the instrument panel adds contrast.
Ambient lighting enhances the interior, creating a serene
environment. Soft-gold LED lights glow from the center console and
from the halo light overhead.
Patented 30-way Lincoln-designed seats use a new-to-market
design that conforms to passengers’ sizes and shapes. The
passenger-side rear seat can fully recline by moving the front
passenger seat forward with the touch of a button.
From a panel mounted on the through-center console, rear
passengers also can control climate settings and the Revel Ultima
audio system, which allows passengers to select from three
surround-sound modes: Stereo, Audience and On-Stage.
Rear-seat comfort is further highlighted by an SPD SmartGlass®
tinting sunroof, which allows passengers to control heat from
direct sunlight. With the touch of a button, the glass can cool the
vehicle interior by as much as 18 degrees Fahrenheit, while
blocking 99 percent of UV rays.
Rear-seat passengers also enjoy the convenience of a
tablet-supporting lap tray that deploys from the through-center
console. It also features a champagne storage compartment.
Detachable, hand-crafted Venetian leather travel cases are mounted
to the backside of the front seats.
Under the skin, the Continental Concept is powered by a
Lincoln-exclusive 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost® engine. It also features
Lincoln Drive Control ride-enhancing technologies and Adaptive
Steering. The car rides on polished-aluminum, painted-pocket
21-inch wheels.
Driver assist technologies include Pre-Collision Assist with
Pedestrian Detection, Enhanced Park Assist and a 360-degree camera
that displays on the MyLincoln Touch™ screen.
“The Lincoln Continental name is associated with iconic beauty
and elegance,” said David Woodhouse, Lincoln design director.
“Capturing those qualities and building upon them drove us as we
crafted this thoroughly modern sedan concept.”
The Lincoln Continental Concept is at the New York International
Auto Show, which opens Wednesday for members of the news media.
