Lincoln's first pure electric concept car, the Lincoln Star, made its world debut, presenting the brand's blueprint for electrification. By 2025, Lincoln plans to launch three pure electric models, achieving the goal of more than 50% of the global market for pure electric vehicle sales.
Lincoln Star is a brand new model based on the pure electric platform architecture, interpreting the design connotation of the pursuit of comfort in American cars, and showing what is called "American electric style" through sci-fi full of shape and surround intelligent cockpit.
The Lincoln Star's body contour is very smooth and dynamic, bringing visual impact. The new car pays great attention to creating a sense of transparency and large space, not only decorating the front A-pillar area and the rear window D-pillar area with 3D printed metal mesh trim panels, but also using transparent side columns combined with a color-changing intelligent panoramic canopy to allow more natural light to penetrate the car. The appearance of the new car seems to have moved the design drawing directly down, with a strong sense of sci-fi futurism.
As shown in the picture, the concept car has a large "front load compartment", which greatly expands the storage space. The front hatch features electronically controlled color-changing glass and can be switched between transparent and dark colors: transparent when driving to ensure more light shines into the cockpit, and dimmed when parked to protect privacy. The opening method of the front trunk is also very innovative, but when it is opened, people can only stand on the side of the body. In addition, the design of the counter-opening door presents a very luxurious style.
Inside the Lincoln Star concept car, a through-the-loop curved screen provides quite a bit of digital information. The screen content can not only be interconnected on the front screen, but also projected onto the rear split screen, so that the full range of the carriage can get the film and television experience. In addition, the concept car uses eco-friendly materials instead of leather and chrome, breaking through the traditional definition of luxury interiors.
Both the front and rear seats feature comfortable wrap-around independent seats, a half-reclining position and independent leg rests, and exclusive storage space for electronic devices or slippers, comparable to the first-class experience on an airplane. In addition, Lincoln Star also designed a transparent wine cabinet made of glass in the center of the back row to enhance the sense of driving and riding.
The Lincoln Star's luxurious features also include three rejuvenating and comfort modes and the Lincoln Embrace welcome sensor system, which work together to control on-screen animations, mood lights, and sound effects and fragrance throughout the cockpit, creating an immersive "inner environment" for passengers.
The three rejuvenating modes include Coastal Morning, Mindful Vitality, and Evening Chill, creating a sunrise beach, fragrant floral fragrance, and twilight tranquility. The system is implemented through the next-generation Lincoln Intelligence System and supports customer-specific models.
Lincoln released the first concept car created by the pure electric platform architecture, which is undoubtedly of cross-era significance. This marks the beginning of the Lincoln brand embarked on a journey of full electrification, unloading the burden of fuel emissions, lincoln should have more room to develop luxury configurations. It's just that Lincoln hasn't released details about the power performance of the concept car yet. So it remains to be seen how Lincoln will balance American luxury, power performance and range in an electrified world.
