Lincoln's front-drive V-8 cruiser focuses on wanderlust.
From the September 1997 issue of Car and Driver.Just three years after Lincoln introduced its V-8-powered front-drive Continental, the company has rebodied the luxury sedan and added more torque. 'We find a lot of buyers drive to Florida, to Yosemite, up north—they like taking the car on longer trips,' says James O'Sullivan, brand manager of the Continental for Lincoln. So the mission was to make the car a better road tripper. We like that concept.
'They are the largest mufflers we could possibly fit under the car,' says chief program engineer Jeff Ziegler. In addition, knock sensors were added so that you can burn cheaper low-octane gas on your trip to Guatemala. We've complained about the Continental's floaty ride and numb steering, and we've openly questioned what advantage its adjustable suspension with three presets offers.
