Lincoln brought a trio of customized MKS sedans and one modified MKX crossover to the industry-only SEMA show in Las Vegas. The three custom MKS sedans varied in degrees of tune, though all presented were subtle, restrained cars aimed at luxury tuner buyers. The MKX was the most outrageous of the three, though even it was tame by comparison to some vehicles presented at SEMA.
The black MKX was modified by Street Concepts. It featured bronze 22 inch wheels and matching bronze trim touches throughout, as well as a 3D Carbon bodykit. Inside, the MKX showcased extensive suede trim – even a suede-trimmed babyseat, revealing its family-friendly design.
The white MKS sedan sparkled thanks to its metallic gold flake white paint and gold 20 inch custom wheels by Wanfeng. It served as a rolling showroom for Ford Custom Accessories, including satin gold finish throughout – even inside, where an aluminum applique replaced the MKS’ standard wood trim.
RKSport modified the silver MKS with a few performance upgrades – a Magnaflow exhaust and a K&N air filter setup – and a custom ground effects kit, hood, spoilers and carbon fiber roof.
3D Carbon was tasked with the red MKS. The tuning firm gave the car a five-piece body kit, Eibach lowering springs (for a 1.2 inch drop) and 22 inch NC Forged wheels.

WTF is with the pattern on the dash? Is that the Mona Lisa?

That actually is a pretty good custom designs by Ford. Whoever said it before though has it right on, the MKS is the next generation 88 LSS / Aurora! Man, I thought I would never see an Olds again, but it makes me want one of these more! I loved the original Aurora, with all of it’s kinda pricey options and space age design. Can’t wait for another year to see some of these MKS’s for around 20K after they have the Aurora-like resale value.

I love the silver one. Too bad that I’m still waiting to see my first MKS on the road
From all the reviews I’ve read they said this car lacks handling and acceleration and only 24 mpg. It’s not a wonder with its 272 hp engine while imports and even Cadillac have a base engine with at least 300 hp.

ARE YOU F_CKING KIDDING ME!!!!
tyler_is_aero_tt…. and the rest of you, you’re retarded. I’m REALLY REALLY REALLY getting upset that I have to listen to these STUPID STUPID STUPID comments by extremely un-educated people….
1st – 24mpg sounds bad!!!!! Allright smart-ass, tell my WHICH OTHER VEHICLE IN THIS CLASS/SIZE or PRICE POINT gets better gas mileage…. NAME ONE FU_KING CAR!!!!!!!!!! Plus, tell me which one of those does it using regular unleaded fuel…
2nd – FU_K LEXUS, ACURA and INFINITI… You should look at how many of those Jap cars are sitting at my local dealership traded in on these cars. Not only is this car more comfortable, better looking, a BETTER VALUE, doesn’t take premium fuel, AWD, and THEY (FORD) WERE ABLE TO FIGURE AN ELECTRONIC INTERFACE that EASY TO USE!!! (I thought Jap’s were good at electronics!!!)
3rd – I don’t know what reviews ur reading (maybe 4×4 Magazine or Tranny Lover Margazine) but 9 out of 10 reviews is VERY positive about this car + with a 3.5L Twin Turbo direct injection engin coming soon that makes (confirmed) 340hp on mid grade & 415hp on E85, you can show your 300hp up your you know what… I’d like to also point out that Lincoln confirmed this motor is going to ONLY add $900 to teh cost of the MKS.
The ONLY people that don’t like this car are either A: never seen/driven it or B: so beyond in love with a car that have or had that they’re not willing to look at something else…
Wake up retards and do some research before you spew garbage out….
