Dear Lincoln....

[Rampant]

... you need an S550-based coupe....

...preferably with the 3.5 EcoBoost.

Rampant is that all your own?
It's so sleek!

You're going to need a mini bow wave grill on that.

Yeah. I started with the basic silhouette of the Mustang and added some lines from the MKC over the wheel wells and went from there.

Obviously, this won't happen... but I really think it would be nice to see.

I am not 100% sure what a mini bow wave grille is, but I generally don't like Lincolns grilles recently -- at least not for sporty cars -- so I was trying to do something different but still Lincoln-esque.

This is the MKC bow wave grill.

I think we all know that Ford/Lincoln is determined to keep the family DNA going in all it's products making them immediately recognizable like all the German brands.

Could someone with a lot more artistic talent than myself make this into a sexy front end to give Lincoln some ideas for a hot rear drive coupe?

I would start by taking out the two top ribs.

This is one of my favorite renders of what it could look like. I think its based off the S197 but still nice.

It also looks good as a sedan:

Yeah, if they ever do it, that would be probably more like what it would end up like. But, that is just putting the MXC front on -- I wanted to try and design something different. I was just doing this for fun and to see if there was a way to make the Lincoln grille recognizable, but more sleek, modern and sporty.

I would buy that.

Lincoln really needs something like this, Caddi has been kicking their ass for years now and Lincoln has nothing that even remotely competes with the V series Cadillacs.

 

[All-Or-Nothing]

Please change the front end of that render. Terrible.

Nice render, but it's a Mustang you've created, not a Lincoln. It has to have the Lincoln signatures.
But, yes, it should have the updated 3.5 EcoBoost. Of which there are some updates coming to.

Had a Mk VIII years ago....loved it. Haven't seen anything like it since from Lincoln. Just luxo-front drive midsize clones from the Ford stable and trucks.

Rampant I really liked the side lines, that's what I love about the MkC. If I was any good at photoshop I would try putting a more "copy paste" MkC like front on the render. To me, the headlight shape you chose looks too much like the Dodge Dart's headlight shape.

Nonetheless, I totally agree, Lincoln needs to start tinkering with the S550 platform ASAP if they already haven't. :headbonk:
