In the recent past, FoMoCo’s Lincoln has released a handful of concept vehicles, such as the Lincoln Aviator Concept from 2018 and the more recent Lincoln Zephyr Reflection Concept. Earlier this year, Ford design chief, Anthony Lo, expressed a desire to release more concept vehicles across The Blue Oval’s brands, echoed in CEO Jim Farley’s call for Lincoln to show off more advanced tech. Enter the Lincoln Model L100 concept, an all-electric and autonomous concept unveiled in digital render form in August. Ford Authority was able to check out the real-life version of the concept vehicle at the 2022 North American International Auto Show, and we’re bringing you the live photo gallery here.
The Lincoln Model L100 concept pays homage to the 1922 Lincoln L, which was the automaker’s first luxury vehicle. The L100 was released in conjunction with the marque’s centennial anniversary, showcasing a stylish exterior with an “intelligent driving experience,” connectivity and technology. It utilizes next-gen battery cell and pack technologies, making it extremely efficient, a goal that is emphasized by its low-slung profile and “K-Tail” design.
The roof is fully made of glass, and is outfitted with Lincoln’s “Embrace” signature lighting. The concept sports a set of smart wheel covers that will signal when the vehicle is moving, display charging status and acknowledge the presence of humans. It uses these lights to create a seamless, pleasing display both inside and out, welcoming passengers as they enter its cabin.
“We are at a special moment in our history. Over the last 100 years, Lincoln has pioneered multiple innovations and pushed the boundaries of design that have come to define our brand as we know and love it today,” said Joy Falotico, president of Lincoln. “With the Model L100 Concept, we reimagine what the Lincoln sanctuary might look like for our clients of tomorrow moving us forward to define the next chapter of the Lincoln story.”

Wow, that is an ugly vehicle . Meanwhile Lincoln slowly dies with only 4 boring SUVs that all look the same . Just Kill off Lincoln , it’s terrible Q
What are you talking about?
In 2022 IQS Lincoln is in the middle of the pack above industry average.
Although it has work to do to reach the leaders in the pack (GM, Dodge, Koreans, Lexus, etc.), it’s at BMW levels, ahead of Toyota and far far ahead of comparable European brands.
Trolls really don’t belong here. Go back to GM and fanboy yourself.
Maybe 1 can be used in a SiFi movie. Defiantly not practical.
Agreed but it he purpose of such a vehicle isn’t to be practical, it’s to draw attention to the brand and to try out new design themes (like leaning into aerodynamics), certain angles and proportions and to showcase feature ideas. It’s to draw praise and criticism in public forums and private clinics.
As a predictor, if there’s good feedback on the themes or features, look for some of that to show up on future production vehicles.
You’re exactly right, Robert. I cannot believe the people who troll here and post hate when they know nothing about the car industry.
And, I wouldn’t have to keep going to the spa for a tanning booth! However, the distortion through the “windshield” might create some eye strain …. Can Ford offer an accessory lift to get me up and out of the seat? Not 18 any more … Are side plates available? Our roads are not as pool table smooth as they used to be ….
As having owned 3 Lincolns, including my current MKS, I can only hope this sparks interest in Ford bringing back a Lincoln coupe & sedan. But I’m not holding my beath.
To my mind it’s previewing front and rear design themes but that said, given China is still hot for sedans, I wouldn’t be surprised to see something in that segment for that market.
Question, if the volume was too small to justify domesticity producing a Lincoln sedan, would you consider one produced in China?
Ford need to prioritize all their New Models:2020 to present. The Mercury Cougar, Torino, Thunderbird, Lincoln Zephyr, Ford Equcador, Evos on USA SHOWROOM FLOORS TODAY and dividend differentiation would be exhibited in their “STOCKS”. CALL Finis E.Person @ 334 439 8023 . THANK YOU !!!
Can we see a more production like version with a steering wheel? This could become a modern Cosmopolitan given the size. Could better compete with the almost production ready Cadillac Celestiq. BTW Cosmopolitan would fit as a counter to Cadillac’s Standard of the World theme.
