The 2010 Lincoln MKS


Love the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution but looking for a little more inement and class? Until now, Mitsubishi offered only two variants of the Lancer Evolution sedan including the GSR and MR. Well, meet the new 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring, the range topping Evo with a $40,990 price-tag that moves the hot Mitsubishi sedan into luxury car territory.

The two biggest differences you’ll notice between the GSR, MR and the MR Touring trim-levels are the MR Touring’s standard power glass sunroof and the standard lip spoiler. Power still comes from the 2.0L DOHC MIVEC turbocharged engine making 291-hp with a maximum torque of 300 lb-ft. All that is sent to the wheels through a 6-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission with magnesium steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring also gets heated leather RECARO front sports seats and heated side mirrors.

Add a $1,999 navigation system package and other accessories (see the list after the jump) and your fully-loaded 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR Touring can hit a whopping price-tag of $52,728.














Here at Gear Patrol’s New York branch, we do our fair share of golfing, no thanks to the tyrannical tee-time scheduling of Patrick Tuttle. The Land Rover we keep parked in midtown Manhattan does a fine job soldiering us to each week’s round. Our only hurdles being either poor traffic conditions or my usal to heed the exact distances the Garmin GPS (and passengers) are screaming at me. “Turn left in 50 yards” isn’t as easy a command as it seems when entering the hell that is the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge (see map after the jump).

Luckily, one of the perks of manning Gear Patrol is getting the chance to test things out in real world environments, and that’s exactly what Lincoln wanted us to do with the near $50,000 Red Candy 2010 Lincoln MKS. We, in typical GP fashion, took it out for a round of golf and put it through its paces in the (c)armageddon we fondly call New York, New York.

Lincoln MKZ



 
 
 
 
  •  Lincoln MKZ, 2013

Lincoln MKZ Exterior
A sweeping roofline defines the new luxury sedans profile. The steeply raked windshield and lengthened backlight make for a sleeker and more flowing appearance that is 10 percent more aerodynamic than the model it replaces. "The MKZ shape is a vision completed with just a few strokes," said Wolff.

Though strikingly modern, the design retains classic Lincoln design elements including a more ined interpretation of the split-wing grille, first seen on the 1938 Lincoln-Zephyr.

Rearview mirrors stand on door-mounted, sculpted pedestals. This fitment enables the front door glass to extend farther forward to improve visibility and to allow even more light into the interior.

The crafted headlamp assemblies include bright, energy-efficient LED lighting. The front headlights turn in sync with the steering wheel, providing enhanced visibility. At the rear, LED technology enabled a thin, distinctive full-width taillamp graphic.

The Lincoln MKZ Interior
Design teams created an inviting interior featuring bold architectural elements, rich natural materials and fine details.

Innovation and technology abound inside the new MKZ. Replacing the traditional mechanical transmission shift lever is a contemporary five-button interface. The individual buttons of Push Button Shift engage Park, Neutral, Reverse, and forward gears in two modes, Drive and Sport.

Push Button Shift gave designers freedom to create a sculptural multi-level center console with more functional storage areas.

Positioned ahead of the driver, the full-color 10.1-inch LCD instrument cluster operates with the latest version of SYNC with MyLincoln Touch. The all-new design combines dimensional indicator rings framing a brilliant and reconfigurable Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LCD. An equally critical component of MyLincoln Touch is the nearly flush-mounted center 8-inch LCD touch screen that displays information clearly in easy-to-erence color-keyed quadrants.

Premium-grade, supple leather covers all seating surfaces. Responsibly harvested wood and metal-toned surfaces create a luxurious and comfortable interior space.

Standard luxury amenities include an 11-speaker audiophile entertainment system and cabin air filtration, plus heated front seats (with the drivers featuring 10-way power controls), remote start capabilities and Active Noise Control.

To make the Lincoln MKZ exceptionally quiet, ANC electronically targets frequencies and reduces their intensity. To improve the inement of the driving experience, other frequencies are subtly enhanced.

The available THX II Certified Car Audio System is a Lincoln-exclusive that features 700 watts, 14 channels and 14 speakers. THX audio engineers spent more than 200 hours custom tuning the THX-certified equipment to the new MKZs interior. The result delivers home-theater surround sound to the road.

The new Lincoln MKZ is the only sedan in its class to offer inflatable second-row outboard seat belts. Rear-seat passengers - often children or mature passengers - can be more vulnerable to head, chest and neck injuries. The available inflatable second-row, outboard seat belts spread impact forces across more than five times the area of conventional belts, reducing pressure on the chest while helping to control head and neck motion and helping reduce the risk of injuries.

Camera- and Radar-Based Driving Aids
The new Lincoln MKZ offers the Lane Keeping System, a suite of advanced driving aids that helps drivers avoid drifting from their lane due to distraction or fatigue. Consisting of Lane Keeping Aid, Lane Keeping Alert and Driver Assist, the Lane Keeping System utilizes a mono-vision camera integrated into the rearview mirror to read the lane markers ahead.

Available radar-based (ultrasonic) driving aids further enhance the driving experience. Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support each use a long-range radar system that scans in front of the vehicle, automatically adjusting to traffic speed and providing a visual and audible alert when a potential front-end collision is detected.

Active park assist and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert use multiple short-range wide-angle radar sensors. Each function provides a distinct benefit, ranging from making parallel parking easier to warning of oncoming vehicles while backing out of a parking space.

SYNC with MyLincoln Touch
SYNC with MyLincoln Touch is standard in the new MKZ. The combined system makes it easier to use the entertainment, climate and available navigation features as well as devices brought into the car (e.g., phones, PDA, MP3 players). Twin five-way controls on the steering wheel manage essential systems, and many functions can be voice-activated via SYNC.

Standard SYNC Services make turn-by-turn directions available via one button push and simple voice commands. Continually improving voice recognition software learns user voices, improving the efficiency of voice commands.

Lincoln MKZ Dynamic Driving Technologies
The new MKZ offers Lincoln Drive Control as standard. Lincoln Drive Control is an automatic system that delivers an ideal balance of a smooth ride with confident handling as it intuitively responds to driver commands and the road, making the 2013 model the most ined and engaging MKZ ever.

Always on, Lincoln Drive Control orchestrates the performance of the Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) adjustable suspension, electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), engine, transmission, Active Noise Control (ANC), traction control and stability control systems.

The result is an unsurpassed combination of ined ride and engaging driving dynamics. CCD offers three modes (Sport/Normal/Comfort) that are accessible using MyLincoln Touch. Selecting "Sport" on the Push Button Shift gear selector enables a decidedly more sporty driving experience.

CCD contributes to Lincoln Drive Controls transparent action by monitoring the cars suspension settings up to 500 times per second. The real-time system adjusts the suspension up to 50 times per second to deliver more controlled handling with a smoother ride. CCD augments a highly developed chassis that includes a ined strut front suspension and an all new integral link rear suspension.

The new Lincoln MKZ is the only sedan in its class to include Continuously Controlled Damping and Active Noise Control as standard equipment.

MKZ Engines, Transmissions and Drive Systems
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ offers three distinct powertrains. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost® delivers the performance of a traditional V6 along with expected segment-leading fuel economy that is at least 3 mpg better than the closest competitor. This engine delivers a projected 20-percent increase in highway fuel economy versus the 2012 MKZ.

Emphasizing performance and efficiency, the optional 3.7-liter V6 produces significantly more power (37 horsepower and 28 lb.-ft. of torque) than the previous Lincoln MKZ V6 while improving fuel economy approximately 5 percent.

Maximizing fuel efficiency, the optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain is expected to enable the 2013 MKZ Hybrid to remain North Americas most fuel-efficient premium sedan. The 2012 MKZ Hybrid is rated at 41 city mpg, 36 highway mpg.

Non-hybrid models utilize a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel add to the performance driving experience of the Lincoln MKZ.

Improving grip on slippery roads, the available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system anticipates and adjusts the power delivery to the front and rear axles in as little as 16 milliseconds, faster than the blink of an eye.

Retractable Panoramic Roof
The Retractable Panoramic Roof is a new signature feature for Lincoln. The 15.2-square-foot glass panel offers one of the largest openings available on any current sedan. The design maintains the structural strength of a steel-roof vehicle.

Lincoln MKC Concept

 

A preview of the upcoming MKC small sport utility, this concept is the best execution of Lincolns current design language, with the split-wing motif repeated in the grille, taillights, and dashboard. It shares a platform with the Ford Escape, though youd never guess that by looking. If the production car looks this sleek and the interior is anywhere near as luxurious as the show car, Lincoln could have a hit on its hands.

Lincoln MKS That Of Luxury

Lincoln offers us a range of vehicles quite exemplary for 2013, especially on the side of its large sedans. The MKS has many improvements, including aesthetics. The new adaptive suspension should also enable it to compete with Germans in this area. However, dropping the front wheel drive to all wheel drive series, Lincoln has significantly increased the average consumption of its large luxury sedan.


The Lincoln MKS 2013 is built on the same platform as the Ford Taurus, a common practice among North American manufacturers. This allows to reduce production costs and offer luxury vehicles to the public at reasonable prices. That said, the Lincoln MKS comes in two versions – TI and TI EcoBoost – including the base price ranges from $ 47,700 and $ 52,200.


Lincoln


Mechanics hand picked


In its basic version, the 2013 Lincoln MKS is equipped with a 3.7-liter V6, the same engine that powers the base Mustang. Thanks to its 305 horsepower and 280 foot-pounds of torque, the latter allows the sedan American manufacturer to make a 0-100 in less than 7 seconds. However, due to its heavy weight and its AWD, the Lincoln MKS 2013 Base displays average fuel consumption of 11.6L/100km city and 7.5L/100km on the highway.


Performance enthusiasts will love the softness and brutality can show the EcoBoost engine available as an option on the Lincoln MKS 2013. Developing 365 horsepower and 350 pounds-feet of torque 3.5-liter V6 that is as powerful as most V8 engines available on the market. Nevertheless, with an average fuel consumption of 12.2L/100km city and 7.8L/100km on the road, it is also a gourmand V8 engine.


Lincoln


Not so perfect that it…Lincoln MKS 2013


The Lincoln MKS 2013 features a new grille that is sure to attract attention. The latter serves as the flagship of continuity, which adds a great touch of elegance to the look of the luxury sedan of the American manufacturer.


In contrast, Lincoln seems to have overlooked some details which are nevertheless fundamental in the middle of large luxury sedans. At first, the rear part of the Lincoln MKS 2013 is simple outrageous. However, the feature that Lincoln would have long since changed is the low carbon colored skirt, a detail that is not without shock.


Lincoln


Well equipped as standard Lincoln MKS 2013


SYNC, adaptive suspension, climate control voice recognition are just a few of the standard features found on the sedan the American manufacturer. It is by no means necessary to engage in the purchase of expensive options for a finished product with interesting Lincoln MKS 2013.

Lincoln MKZ 2013 There is Something For Everyone

This is the last Motor Show in Detroit we saw this big sedan for the first time. And the production model in 2013 that we see today is almost identical to the concept that the luxury division of Ford introduced last January. According to the director of Lincoln Design, we wanted to combine elegance and simplicity when we designed the Lincoln MKZ 2013. It is luxurious but wanted different luxury cars that we know in America. We also wanted the relatively affordable.


Lincoln


Mechanical of Lincoln MKZ 2013


Three versions of the MKZ are available on the North American market: EcoBoost (2WD and 4WD) V6 (2WD and 4WD) and hybrid. The EcoBoost model is powered by a turbocharged 2-liter dual overhead cam head that develops 240 horsepower and torque of 270 lb-ft. It comes standard with traction and offers all-wheel drive as an option. The gearbox is a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters behind the wheel.


Finally, the Lincoln MKZ 2013 is also offered in hybrid. This engine consists of a 4-cylinder engine 2 liter Atkinson-cycle whose power reaches 141 horsepower and an electric motor. The combined power of both engines amounted to 188 horses. In this case, however, we are dealing with a gearbox continuously variable.


Lincoln


Body and interior of Lincoln MKZ 2013


Outside, Lincoln revised aerodynamics of its Lincoln MKZ 2013 to make it more effective. While it retains the distinctive elements of the brand, one feels more modern than the model it replaces. The headlights now use LEDs and rotate the side where the driver turns to improve night visibility. The rear lights are also benefiting from LEDs.


The interior of the car is quite inviting due to its ergonomics, small details and quality materials found there. The dashboard has been completely revised and is in harmony with the exterior design of the car. The watchword in the cockpit, it is technology. Was replaced by a speed selector set of five buttons. Regarding equipment, there is no lack of anything really. The Lincoln MKZ 2013 is the only sedan in its class to offer inflatable seat belts in the rear.


Lincoln


The Lincoln MKZ 2013 offers a driving experience for the price we demand. And if you want both luxury and fuel economy of a compact, the Lincoln MKZ 2013 is for you. The new Lincoln MKZ 2013 will be marketed at the end of the year 2012 and is the first of four vehicles that the manufacturer intends to market in the coming years.

Lincoln MKC Concept 2013

 
 
 
 
 
 
  •  Lincoln MKC Concept, 2013

The Lincoln introduced the MKC Concept, a vision of how Lincoln will enter the industrys fastest-growing small luxury utility segment, at the 2013 NAIAS.

With nearly 60 percent growth in 2012 and more than 200 percent in the last four years, the small luxury utility segment has far eclipsed all other luxury segments. The opportunity is a key next step in Lincolns strategy to grow with four all-new vehicles targeted at the highest-growth segments over the next four years.

The segment growth is being driven at both ends of the demographic spectrum. Many new buyers are coming into affluence and purchasing their first luxury vehicle. Others are moving from larger vehicles to smaller ones to simplify their lives. This growth includes China, where Lincoln will begin selling in the second half of 2014 through independent dealers.

Creating Lincoln Experiences
Lincoln is being reinvented in every way - from a complete new lineup of stunningly designed vehicles to how dealerships provide surprising personal client services and how drivers engage with their vehicles. The goal is to appeal to a new type of luxury clients considered cultural progressives, who are open to new ideas and experiences.

In current and future vehicles, these "Lincoln Experiences" will include a variety of distinctive features, such as push-button transmission engagement, programmable ride control, unique and diverse powertrains, personalized lighting, and a suite of customizable functions that are unique for each client as the vehicle instantly recognizes the operator and creates a personalized welcoming sequence.

Future Lincolns also will combine these unique experiences with the option of stunning, bespoke interior and exterior design appointments that transcend typical luxury automotive standards, furthering the brands transformation. The Lincoln MKC Concept explores many of these transformative ideas.

Exterior design
The Lincoln MKC Concept builds on the foundation of the Lincoln Design DNA found in the new MKZ. These warm, open and inviting design cues are a core element of the brands heritage.

"The Lincoln design team has done an outstanding job with the MKC Concept in communicating Lincolns design vision for reaching a new and discerning clientele."

An uninterrupted, highly crafted rear-view appearance highlights the signature full-width taillamps. This is made possible by a liftgate design with a side-view cutline - a Lincoln first. It shows how the dedicated Lincoln design and engineering teams have worked together to deliver customer-focused solutions that not only elevate the appearance, but also provide maximum load capability.

The continuity also is apparent in the execution of the frameless windows, which amplify the richness of the design, as does the signature split-wing grille. The exterior is augmented by warm, cream-based white metallic tri-coat paint, 20-inch premium wheels with polished chrome rims, and a large fixed panoramic roof that runs the length of the vehicle.

Interior design, colors and materials
High-end bespoke design, materials and execution inspire the four-passenger interior.

Just like MKZ - which sets the tone for the brands thoughtful new approach to design - the Lincoln MKC Concept features a distinct push-button gear shift selector. This enables a flowing, expressive and architectural center console design covered with riveting details, and unique colors and materials.

The headliner is wrapped with high-end material, providing a warm and luxurious feel. The pillars are wrapped with premium leather. The seats also feature premium leather and include a unique embroidered Lincoln Star and crimson stitch accents.

The Lincoln Star lattice also is subtly placed on the MKC Concepts floor mats to complement the lattice design in the speaker mesh, light fixtures and lug-nut covers.

The smooth leather also wraps the door trim uppers, armrests, bolsters, console side rails, instrument panel and cargo area.

"There is a rich softness to the exterior and interior palette of the MKC Concept," said Susan Lampinen, group chief designer, Color & Material Design. "The leather-wrapped architecture complements the open-pore and designer hand-dyed woods."
Another refined details include finishes like appliqués cut from layers of reconstructed natural wood infused with a metallic flake for a glistening effect on the steering wheel, upper instrument panel and door panels.

A true Lincoln
"The Lincoln MKC Concept is designed to strike a perfect balance between warm, inviting comfort and the engaging and superb dynamic qualities of performance, ride, handling and braking," said Farley. "This balance is focused toward a new luxury automotive client emerging in the marketplace - someone who recognizes a great vehicle and demands a balance between all-out performance and comfort."
