2017 Lincoln Continental Brings Back The Name, And The Quiet
Last year’s Lincoln Continental show car was a sensation, of sorts, imagining an American luxury sedan with enough Bentley touches throughout that Bentley itself was a little put out. Today, Ford took the wraps off the 2017 Continental production car—toned down in most respects, but still designed to offer a quiet alternative to other luxury cars, here and abroad.
While offering a 400-hp twin-turbo V-6 as a power calling card, the Continental eschews some visual style in favor of serenity. The luxury sedan market has not been Lincoln’s strong suit in recent years, but If you never get speeding tickets and think the idea of a 30-way power seat sounds sublime, Lincoln will gladly usher you into a Continental later this year.
