Meet the Model L100 Concept

The Model L100 Concept celebrates 100 years of Lincoln, and harkens back to the first vehicle to wear the Lincoln name - the 1922 Model L. A nod to the past while looking ahead towards the future, the Lincoln Model L100 Concept celebrates our design heritage and reveals our future vision for mobility.

Here’s to a new century together.

Since the beginning, Lincoln has been a company that puts the driving experience above everything else. We’ve added sophisticated new features along the way, but have always stuck to our core values:
Craftsmanship. Quality. And thoughtfully-designed details that enliven the senses.

100 years on, we’re still committed to creating exhilarating sanctuaries, along with a fully electrified fleet and an evolving suite of human-centered design details, as we boldly enter our next century.

THE THOUGHTFUL DESIGN
THAT MAKES A LINCOLN A LINCOLN

THE GUIDING STAR

Lincoln’s now iconic star emblem draws its inspiration from the four direction points of the compass. You’ll discover a galaxy of stars expressed from the center of the front grill throughout your Lincoln’s design.

SYMPHONIC CHIMES

Lincoln adds a human element to automated alerts, with the help of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Every chime in the Lincoln experience is performed by actual musicians and designed to blend information with harmony.

WHISPER QUIET CABIN

Lincoln engineers designed vehicle cabins to serve as peaceful sanctuaries from the outside world. Every sound, from the wind and weather to the engine and road below, is considered and minimized so all that remains is a sense of calm.
