Set to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 7th, the new MKR Concept will be a four-door four-seater. By looking at the pictures from Lincoln, we can see that the vehicle is not only a concept, but it holds the key to the future of Lincoln design.
We can expect to find the future face of Lincoln vehicle design, which are visible on the MKR concept with 7 predefined design elements and characteristics. To begin the characteristics, the MKR will have clean and uncluttered body surfaces; an aggressive belt-line; a beveled edge which will be parallel to the belt-line; a front grille that was inspired by the 1941 Continental Cabriolet; attached with thin, horizontal headlamp clusters; a smooth-flowing C-pillar; and lastly, an integrated roof-rail.
An inch longer than the current MKS concept, the MKR show car houses 415-horsepowers under the hood and is equipped with all-wheel-drive. Inside, the interior is lighted by an ice blue lighting illuminating the gauges, with cashmere covered seats and Mohair carpets.
Yes, a concepts are sure cool but sometimes a bit too unrealistic. Lincoln has announced that they will launch its new flagship sedan in 2008, and many things you see here on the MKR concept will be implemented. Looks like everyone wants a piece of that sexy-ness that the Mercedes-Benz CLS brought to the market.
