L2K stood for Lincoln 2000 and was one of several attempts to develop a convertible version of the Mark-series sport-luxury coupe. The dream precedes reality. "What should a luxury sports car look and feel like in the future?". That's a question we asked our luxury car designers. Their answer: The Lincoln L2K.
The L2K is truly a luxury sports car. This 2-seat convertible is designed to offer a blend of understated elegance with sophisticated, spirited performance. The interior features luxury sports bucket seats, a sound system with a mini-disc changer in the console, an ergonomic wraparound design, and dual airbags to provide an ultra-high level of comfort and safety. Under the hood is an experimental 3.4-liter, 32-valve V-8 engine that delivers 250 hp.
If you're wondering about the lack of door handles, the L2K doors are opened using an infrared signal transmitted by a keyless entry key fob. This just goes to show that at Lincoln, whatever our designers can envision, our wealth of engineering and technological resources can figure a way to build. Designed at Ford Motor Company's Concept Center California Design Studio, the L2K is a one-of-a-kind concept vehicle. Through "idea" vehicles such as this, we continue to bring exciting and innovative new products to market.
