Lincoln Continental Concept FIRST LOOK by Auto Critic Steve Hammes

Long before it became the choice of livery drivers, the Lincoln Continental was a name associated with iconic beauty and elegance. And now, that storied past is evolving into the future through the Lincoln Continental Concept, signaling an all-new full-size sedan coming in 2016. The future of quiet luxury is how Lincoln describes their new vision, integrating technologies designed to create better drivers as well as rejuvenate and entertain passengers.

Inspired by first-class travel with a more relaxing and entertaining environment, the Continental Concept incudes patented 30-way seats, a premium Revel audio system, ambient LED lighting and the brand’s most sensual materials ever. Rear seat passengers can control a SmartGlass tinting sunroof able to cool the vehicle interior by as much as 18 degrees while blocking 99% of UV rays.

There’s also a tablet-supporting tray from the through-center console which also features a champagne storage compartment. Power is provided by a Lincoln-exclusive 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost engine with ride-enhancing technologies and Adaptive Steering. The Continental Concept rides atop 21” wheels. When it arrives in production form, the Continental will replace the MKS in Lincoln’s lineup.
