Default The Horror, Lincoln MKR

It's the most EVIL front EVER seen on a car. And it hurts my eyes all at the same time.


But it's only a concept car and we won't have to face this terror on the streets.


Swoopy interior though. Nice...

Let's see...
RWD
Twin Turbo V6 415hp 400lb ft
Automatic w/ manual shifting
runs on E85
$50,000+ if made...

I'd rather take that new Jag concept.

I kinda like that Heaven and Hell juxtaposition, though. A car that's ugly as hell and firy red versus the calm light and swoopy interior with soft blue lighting. And the cross on the roof. Ironic, but still very ugly car.

i think they were trying to incorporate German styling cues such as the twin-kidneys of BMW and the gigantic (mono) grill of Audi... i like the idea of revolutionizing car designs but this one flat-out fails...

I don't mind what I see here. Ford needs branding in its style to help it survive. Cadillac has become the forefront of this trend in US brands... It needs a little honing. But, i like the front flairs a lot

Yeah but is that going to be a TT on a Duratec 35 V-6??!? That would be VERY interesting. The Duratec 35 is in the new MKX and has been named one of the top 10 engines of 2007 - wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward%27s_10_Best_Engines

Putting a twin turbo on Duratec 35 would be very cool!

looks sharp and aggressive enough to scare children

but still.. a true roadster should come with a true american V8 not twin turbo V6 :x

The date on this post says Xmas... so I'll assume you were intoxicated when you posted this.

I mean, look at it. It looks like it has barbeque grills for grilles.
