Lincoln introduces the 2017 Continental

January 15, 2016, 14:56 IST
Lincoln debuted Continental as a concept car at the 2015 New York Auto Show. The production car keeps most of the concept design cues, including the unique door handles. Using tech wizardry, the Continental doesn't have a physical door handle release mechanism.

A button triggers a door popper to open the door while actuators enable a soft-close function, which automatically secures the door closed. Powering the Continental is a 3.0-liter twin turbo V6 that's not shared with any Ford model.

Lincoln expects power output of the motor at 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, but the Continental still rides on a front-wheel drive-based platform.
