Sensational 2019 Lincoln Continental 80th Anniversary Edition: Welcome Back, Suicide Doors!

Summary: Following a long absence, Lincoln announces the return of the legendary coach doors on the Lincoln Continental with a special version known as the 80th Anniversary Coach Door Edition.

What’s Fresh: The Lincoln Continental will be powered by Ford’s refined 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, delivering 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. The vehicle offers various drive modes for different on-road experiences.

Rather than focusing solely on performance, the spotlight is on the opulent cabin of the Continental. The luxurious interior aims to give buyers a feeling akin to owning a domestic equivalent of a Mercedes-Maybach S 650 or BMW M760Li, albeit with slightly less power.

Buyers eagerly anticipate the premium seating, immersive audio system, and convenient tablet holder and wireless charging pad. The interior palette includes Lincoln’s frosty Chalet theme and a striking black and chestnut scheme named Thoroughbred.

While aesthetics may attract buyers, comfort is key for passenger satisfaction. With Lincoln’s renowned ride comfort, the wheelbase has been extended by six inches, providing extra legroom in the rear. The coach doors swing open 90 degrees for easy access to the back seat, suggesting either a likelihood of door dings in parking lots or a preference for chauffeured journeys.

Lincoln’s design director, David Woodhouse, remarked, “People seek sophistication and allure, desiring effortless entry and exit from a vehicle. These doors cater to both requirements.”

Essential Information: This variant of the Continental targets affluent buyers who either have personal chauffeurs or use professional limousine services; amenities, not just steering wheel features, drive their purchase decision.

Rest assured, drivers haven’t been forgotten. The front seats offer 30 adjustments for unparalleled comfort during long drives. Lincoln has also included a head-up display to keep drivers focused on the road. No details on driver-assist technology inclusion have been disclosed as of now.

Every one of the 80 instances manufactured in 2019 will have a unique number assigned to the entrance threshold. Lincoln affirms that it will also create a “restricted amount” of the automobiles in 2020 but does not provide specifics on an exact figure.

Advanced bookings commence immediately and are accessible at Lincoln Black Label merchants for an undisclosed sum.
