Artandcolour's admittedly over-the-top Lincoln flagship, the 2014 Continental sedan. Besides dwarfing its contemporaries in wheelbase and interior room, Lincoln's aluminum and carbon-fiber construction allows it to be the lightest in weight among its competitors. Add in a twin-turbo V12 Eco-Boost Hybrid drivetrain capable of 0-62 in 5 seconds and a combined city/highway mileage of 45mpg, and you have a very capable performer well able to carry the mantle of this vaunted brand. Polished aluminum fender shields, a new Lincoln styling cue, are thermostatically controlled engine compartment vents as well as inlets for the HVAC system. 22" wheels are aerodyamically designed for maximum brake cooling.

Briiliant! I urge everyone viewing this to enlarge the picture because it really shows off just how perfect this is. Casey -- you finally have achieved what Lincoln designers have not -- you've made the current grill look like it belongs on the front of this car. This is what a Lincoln should be and I hope those guys in Dearborn are reading your blog today!

thank you, Paul! I think making it a bit more upright, a bit more refined and adding those chamfers/bevels around the sides, make a world of difference. And luckily, it's a week I have cars in Autoextremist, including this Lincoln so there's a greater chance Lincoln will see it....
ReplyDeleteCool, I really like the upright grille and Bentley backend.
ReplyDeleteGood job Casey! Really well done. Wish Lincoln would take note. Best,Rob
