In 1922, the Lincoln Model L made its grand debut on the road. Over the course of the last century, the automotive industry has advanced immensely, and the new Lincoln inventory has kept pace. To celebrate the growth of Lincoln vehicles, the Lincoln Model L100 concept was shared, an ode to the original model 100 years later.

The Lincoln Model L100 concept vehicle is far from showroom debut, but that goal is secondary. This concept finds purpose in calling attention to what Lincoln aims to accomplish in the future while also highlighting what has brought them their present success.

First introduced in 2022, the Lincoln president, Joy Falotico, shared the purpose of the concept, saying, “With the Model L100 Concept, we reimagine what the Lincoln sanctuary might look like for our clients of tomorrow moving us forward to define the next chapter of the Lincoln story.”

Drawing inspiration from Lincoln’s rich history while looking forward, this concept represents a reimagined driving experience. This blend of past and future gives the Lincoln Model L100 an undeniable presence—a car that represents both where Lincoln has been and where it’s heading. 

This concept vehicle utilizes an all-electric system, tying itself to the exponentially growing electric shift in the automotive industry. With a glass roof and reverse-hinged doors, the model welcomes you inside the cabin while keeping you connected to the setting you travel through.

Inside the cabin, the shifting seating configurations and digital floor allow the aesthetic of the drive to be in the driver’s hands. An interactive center console chessboard redefines the driver’s seat experience, replacing the wheel with a “chess piece” for control of the drive.

Lincoln sees their vehicles as more than a mode of transportation but as an entire experience. That is the very essence of luxury driving, and by tapping into this understanding, Lincoln makes their second-century goals clear.

The Lincoln Model L100 specifications serve a paralleled purpose: to meet the driver where they’re at while keeping up with the ever-expanding tech industry and its impact on the auto world.

With its sleek, aerodynamic design and its focus on creating a communicative and connective space for drivers, this concept vehicle is designed to feel less like a car and more like a sanctuary.
