Drivetrain

• A four-speed automatic transmission puts power to the road. The Mark VIII LSC uses a front-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration with ABS brakes with a traction-control system on all wheels. A sophisticated auto-leveling air-suspension system provides a smooth and compliant ride while retaining sporty driving characteristics.
  
  

Interior and Exterior

• With leather all around and seating for five, the LSC cabin is even more luxurious than base 1998 Mark VIII models. Standard features include an eight- speaker JBL audio system, an illuminated entry and exit system, and remote-controlled immobilizer. The Lincoln is a large vehicle at 207.2 inches long and 74.8 inches wide, still managing to pull an impressive 0.81 g at the skidpad, which is a measure of the car's grip to the road.
