Retrofitted Lincoln Continental design draws inspiration from the Cyberpunk aesthetic.
A ground-breaking concept car has been unveiled, reimagining the classic Lincoln Continental for the year 2077. Designed by Radek Štěpán, this futuristic vehicle is a bold, cyberpunk-inspired creation that challenges the laws of physics and offers a glimpse into the world of Chinese cars.
The Lincoln concept car is an autonomous limousine, designed for influential figures such as corporate diplomats, CEOs, and modern mobsters. Its design draws heavily from the Continental's complex legacy, embracing a dark, menacing aesthetic with blacked-out windows and a "brutalist" style.
Key design features include a hovering low-body that gives the illusion of defying gravity, geometric wheel wells precision-cut to integrate massive wheels, and an exaggerated proportion with a long hood, truncated rear, and a heavily armored greenhouse. The car is dynamically poised, reminiscent of a sprinting athlete ready to launch, expressing power and speed even when stationary.
The wheel covers are black, with a white "MONOLITH" inscription, and the lighting elements are reduced to thin strips, with no "angel eyes" or chrome trimmings. The design references a dystopian future where America's coastal cities are half-submerged and corporations govern, fitting the cyberpunk noir vibe.
Radek Štěpán describes the concept car as a "machine built for power brokers, corporate diplomats, and underworld kings," hinting at its thematic roots in both corporate power and mafia symbolism tied to Lincoln Continental's historical and cultural image.
The concept's cyberpunk influence is inspired by neon-lit urban environments and a noir aesthetic reminiscent of settings like Night City from the game Cyberpunk 2077, emphasizing a futuristic yet gritty atmosphere.
If Lincoln decides to make a real comeback, the concept car serves as a potential blueprint for a bold and ambitious return. Photos of the concept car can be found on yankodesign.com, and for the convenience of users, comment authors are automatically geolocated.
