Ford designers brought new-found elegance to the Thunderbird platform for this concept by looking to both Lincoln's history and future for inspiration. The clean body work features a wide grille, tidy high-intensity discharge headlamps, and chrome accents. Of note, this clean fascia introduces a grille that will be used on future products. In fitting with the ever-competitive premium convertible segment, the Mark X features a power-folding, retractable, glass-roofed hard top. The Lime Sorbet interior is complemented with White Corian accents, polished aluminum, dark chrome, natural grain leather seating, plush sheepskin flooring, and tailored tone-on-tone stitching throughout. The instrument panel integrates a softly illuminated, jewel-like instrument cluster that combines analog with digital technology. Based on the DEW98 architecture, this two-seat luxury convertible roadster features a 3.9-liter DOHC V-8 aluminum engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission delivering 280 horsepower and 286 foot-pounds of torque.
