 Lincoln MKR Video
 

Mays, J

Excellent video on the Lincoln MKR concept.  

After seeing this, I understand the role that classic Lincoln heritage played in the design of the MKR.

What I don't understand is whether or not this could be built: specifically, what platform would be used? With the upcoming Falcon platform, Ford has a much more sophisticated platform than the overweight and crude Mustang platform. Which was what was used here - complete with parts it doesn't offer natively: an IRS and a SLA front suspension.

We could say "we told you so" when they removed those parts as the Lincoln LS chassis was downgraded for the Mustang.
