Lincoln Unveils L100 Electric Concept
Lincoln is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Formally, it was created in 1917, but in 1922 it was bought by Ford, which owns the brand to this day. And this year is considered the birthday of the brand. In honor of this event in Monterey, the manufacturer unveiled the Model L100 concept, which is intended to pay homage to the manufacturer’s first luxury car – the classic 1922 L sedan.
The designers drew inspiration from the 1922 Lincoln Model L, an engineering breakthrough of its time, built after the brand was incorporated into Ford. The figure of a hound is dedicated to classic models, but here it is enclosed under a hood made of glass.
The roof, combined with the rear window, is also completely glass, and the doors open against the direction of travel: together with lighting equipment, they participate in the welcome program, opening the car like a box. An artificial intelligence-based system monitors a person’s movements using sensors and GPS. Behind the L100 is a Kamm’s tail, divided by a bar with a thin lantern-stripe.
The drone does not have a steering wheel or pedals, and the only control is a crystal figurine of a car inspired by precious stones. For the convenience of communicating with passengers on the second row, the front seats can be turned into a bench by removing the backs.
Since the concept is a design exercise, Lincoln does not reveal details about the power plant. It is only noted that some new generation batteries are used in the L100.
