The 2018 Lincoln Navigator Concept: This Is It But Why?
The 2018 Lincoln Navigator Concept: This Is It But Why?-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:16

Everybody. Everybody! Calm down. Let’s try and take this seriously. This is Lincoln’s big surprise for the New York Auto Show... this Navigator concept with gull-wing doors large enough to make a pterodactyl jealous. What have they done? Oh my, oh my; what have they done?

Thankfully the stupid doors are for show only and won’t be making it to the production model according to Lincoln president Kumar Galhorta, via .

If you can pull your eyes away from the unsightliness above for a moment, I can inform you that the Navigator concept packs a 3.5 liter EcoBoost engine worth 400 hp. The next Navigator will also come on a shiny new chassis, and apparently the overall design—fortunately sans gull-wing doors—is said to be a strong preview of what Lincoln plans for its Navigator, which is basically a Continental SUV.

The concept also previews Ford’s emerging semi-autonomous tech, featuring lane-keeping assist, pedestrian detection, pre-collission assist, automatic braking wired to radar and camera sensors, and a 360 degree camera—all of which are likely to appear on the production model.

I just can’t clear my head with that photo up there. I just stare at it trying to figure out what the hell is happening—those steps; how tall the doors go; how ginormous the openings are—so here are more shots to try and snap you out of it.

What in the.
