Encyclopedia
The Lincoln C is a concept car
manufactured by the Lincoln
division of Ford
, which was unveiled at the 2009 North American International Auto Show.
It included a 1.6L EcoBoost
engine rated at 180hp and 180 ft.-lbs. of torque, with a dry dual-clutch PowerShift 6-speed transmission. The Ford Sync
system features a female avatar called Eva, which can be customized.
