Lincoln Star Concept Debuts As "Sanctuary" That Previews Future Models

At a glance, the Lincoln Star Concept doesn't look far removed from current offerings in the luxury brand's lineup. Indeed, the concept is an evolution of Lincoln's Quiet Flight design that is prevalent on vehicles like the Corsair. Its mission is to preview future electric vehicles from Lincoln, three of which are coming before 2025. But it also seeks to create a "sanctuary" for passengers through the use of sight, sound, and yes, smell.

To make that happen, the Star Concept offers more than just windows and nifty interior lighting in the floor and door panels. The A-pillars feature metal latticework that makes them see-through, same for the D-pillars at the back. The floor of the front trunk extends into the first row of seats, and the hood is composed of electro-chromatic glass that lets light in while driving, then tints when parked to conceal whatever's inside. Combined with a massive glass roof, front seats that rotate to face the back, and a flat floor, the Star Concept aims to create a very open expanse for passengers.
