Haichuan Pinche | lighting artist and space magician Lincoln Lincoln Star concept car

Traditionally, April is the busiest time in the automotive world. In front of the annual Beijing/Shanghai Auto Show, it is the peak season for car companies to launch new products, although this year's Beijing Auto Show has been postponed, but the pace of new product launches of various brands has not changed, so recently we have seen a lot of new cars.

Among them, especially Lincoln's Lincoln Star concept car is impressive, today I will talk to you about this car.

According to the official statement, this concept car is a fusion of the brand design DNA of the "natural beauty", "the basis of human nature", "soaring wings" and "inner realm" four dimensions, deducing the design language of Lincoln's future products, and will extend the design direction of future pure electric products.

Putting aside the official rhetoric, we simply look at the Lincoln Star, which is a very beautiful car, many of its design ideas are very forward-looking and pioneering, and at the same time, on this car, we can also interpret a lot of information about Lincoln's first pure electric model that will be unveiled at the end of the year.

First of all, the Body Form of the Lincoln Star is an SUV, which also implies that Lincoln's lincoln first pure power production car unveiled at the end of this year will be an SUV, no way, the Chinese and American markets are SUV is highly sought after, so Lincoln's choice is the most secure.

Of course, this is a concept car with a very beautiful body posture, its overall proportion is similar to that of the aviator, but it is more ethereal and free than the aviator, the highest point of the whole car is at the apex of the A-pillar, and then the roof line slopes all the way down, and the luxurious posture is revealed.

What attracted me most about this car was actually the designer's use of the lighting system. With the help of innovative lighting technology, the perception of the interior environment has been subversively improved. Crystal-like lighting strips, backlit door panels with a hint of starlight and newly designed seats complement the exterior design elements.

Outside, when the owner approaches the vehicle, the Lincoln Star emblem at the front of the car gradually lights up like a jewel. This is a new embodiment of the LincolnEmbrace welcome induction system, and it is through the application of this modern lighting technology that the inside and outside of the car are more harmonious and unified.

In addition to the lights, the dashboard and seat design in the car are very imaginative, but at the same time practical.

The design of the hovering instrument cluster with flying wings is inspired by the wings of the aircraft, which further strengthens the order and balance of the "horizon" design principle, using a single-pedal method unique to electric vehicles.

Unlike today's electric vehicles, which place screens of various sizes in the carriage, Lincoln's concept car can see not many screens as far as the eye can see, nor is it large, but the through-line curved screen it uses brings a digital panoramic experience.

The content presented on the screen can not only slide freely between the front screens, but also smoothly project to the rear screen, bringing a unique experience to every member of the car.

In addition, three rejuvenating modes will work with the Lincoln Embrace welcome sensor system to control the sound, fragrance and mood lights throughout the cockpit, and the on-screen HD animations and symphonic melodies will be intertwined, immersing customers in the digital "inner world".

Whether it's in a congested environment or a moment of serenity after work, the Rejuvenate Comfort Mode will create an exclusive mobile space for customers.

For future in-car travel needs, Lincoln also created a "digital briefcase" based on the concept of "Lincoln Digital Companion", which not only provides protection for notebooks or tablets through hidden storage space on the back door panel, but also realizes wireless charging and real-time monitoring of wireless information input functions.

With the new Lincoln Connect system, the functionality of the "Digital Assistant" has also been further enhanced, which not only realizes the interconnection between vehicles and vehicles and infrastructure, but also has the next generation of leading intelligent driver assistance functions, such as Help Me See and Park for Me functions.

The concept has spacious wrap-around independent seats at the front and rear, a half-reclining position like the First Class Lounge and separate leg rests, and exclusive storage space for electronic devices or slippers. The rejuvenating comfort mode control panel and the luxurious wine cabinet made of crystal-through glass are integrated between the rear seats.

In order to further expand the sense of space in the car, the A-pillar area and the rear window D-pillar area of this car adopt a 3D printed metal grid-like trim panel, coupled with a transparent side column combined with a variable color intelligent panoramic canopy, so that more natural light penetrates into the car, greatly improving the visual transparency of the carriage.

In addition to the sci-fi lighting design and outstanding sense of space, the Lincoln Star concept car impressed me most about the designer's bold use of space.

Because there is no traditional internal combustion engine, many parts of the other body are liberated, like the original front space where the fuel engine was placed, and the front trunk gives the customer plenty of storage area, so that the sense of space in the car can be further improved.

The front hatch features electrochromic glass that can be switched between transparent and dark colors, automatically identifying the vehicle's current state.

The front hatch ensures more light into the cockpit while driving, while the canopy automatically dims when the vehicle is parked, protecting the privacy of stored items. Elegant lighting strips flow from the front trunk into the car like a star track and extend to the front floor, further extending the openness of the front row area.

At the rear of the car, the design team redefined the trunk space, turning on the leisure mode to evoke comfortable outdoor seats hidden in the trunk, allowing passengers to stop and watch the journey during the journey.

Underpinning these concepts are its all-electric scalable architecture that supports rear-drive and four-wheel drive layouts and the application of the next-generation Lincoln Intelligence System, a purely electrically scalable architecture that enables engineers and designers to bring many of the imaginations of the interior space experience into reality.

This year coincides with the centenary of the Lincoln brand, so at such an important moment, the release of a pure electric concept car also shows that Lincoln will soon enter the field of electric power.

After the release of the Lincoln Star concept car, by 2026, Lincoln will have four pure electric models, and it is expected that more than half of its global sales will come from pure electric models with zero emissions.
