Lincoln Sentinel
The Lincoln Sentinel is a 4-door luxury sedan concept car designed by Ford's Dearborn Advanced studio. It debuted at the 1996 North American International Auto Show.[1]
Design
The concept uses a gloss black paint and features tinted windows. The Sentinel uses three-tier vertical headlights at the front and the rear. It rides on 20-inch wheels. Rear-view cameras are used in place of traditional mirrors. In place of traditional door handles are flush door handles.[2]
The interior was designed by Ghia.
Powertrain
The Sentinel used a 6-liter V12 engine made by bolting on two Ford Duratec 30 engines. The V12 makes 435 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.
Influences on other Lincoln models
The grille of the Sentinel concept made its way onto the Lincoln MKX.[3]
