A True Hot-Rod Lincoln
When Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airman sang about a hot rod Lincoln back in the '70s, they could never have imagined that in 2003 the Lincoln LS would still be "settin' the pace". And according to Lincoln, that pace is quicker than that of a BMW 540i.

One stab of the gas pedal confirmed that this is not your father's Lincoln, nor your uncle's or anyone else's that might prefer comfort over performance. This is a purpose-built performance sedan designed for the exec that has outgrown his 5-liter Mustang and now seeks prestige, comfort and get-up-and-go in a four-door package.
