Detroit… home of the world’s biggest auto manufacturers! Talk about Ford Motor Company, GM and more. Today, the breeding ground for premium vehicles opens the annual Detroit Auto Show for 2008. Once again, the event will showcase several brand new concept cars, vehicle technologies and great surprises. It is rest assured that the 2008 Detroit Auto Show will be as bright as all headlights with all the best vehicles that the world has to offer under one roof.One of the hottest surprises uncovered in the show is the Lincoln MKT Concept. Like any other cool concept car, the MKT exemplifies the automotive industry in the future, which is radically awesome and successful. The MKT concept exemplifies supreme balance of roominess, convenience and fuel efficiency. It sure is a brand new kind of driving experience which is being offered to drivers.
According to the Auto Channel, the Lincoln MKT concept is equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine with turbocharging and direct injection that generates the power and torque of a V-8 engine with the fuel efficiency of a V-6.
Lincoln is introducing EcoBoost engines that will carry out over 20 percent enhanced fuel economy on half a million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles yearly in North America in the next years to come.
“EcoBoost engines can deliver better fuel economy and performance on a full range of vehicles, from small cars to large trucks,” said Mark Fields, the president of The Americas. “The Lincoln MKT concept offers the comfort of a luxury sedan, the spaciousness and flexibility of a full-size utility and the performance of a sporty roadster - executed with new technologies and materials that make it as environmentally friendly as it is elegant. The Lincoln MKT concept is understated but powerful - inside, outside and under the hood.”
“We envisioned this concept as a modern grand tourer, really a Learjet of the road. With the Lincoln MKT concept, you find a premium utility that could as easily accommodate a businessperson slipping into the back seat on the way to his or her next meeting in the chaos of Manhattan as a family packed up for a weekend getaway to the coast,” says Peter Horbury, executive director of Design, The Americas.
