Exterior Features
* Exterior Details and Features. It's got the look. One glance at Lincoln LS tells you this is one sporty car. Color-keyed bumpers and sideview mirrors act as a foil to the trademark Lincoln grille, aluminum wheels and chrome-tipped tailpipes. Mounted discreetly in the bumper are round fog lamps.

The available American walnut burl and leather-wrapped steering wheel and American walnut burl shift knob beautifully complement the interior. Included in the Premium Package.

Performance Features
* LS Is All About Power. The V-8 engine in Lincoln LS makes a statement - a powerful one. Featuring variable-cam timing for greater air intake, which means more power, the power plant in Lincoln LS delivers 280 hp and 286 lb.-ft. of torque. To more quickly harness that energy, the engine also features electronic throttle control. And aluminum construction not only helps keep the powertrain lean, but also helps the engine dissipate heat more quickly.
* Confidence and Control in Poor Driving Conditions. This feature enhances traction. The available AdvanceTrac (R) Electronic Stability Enhancement System helps you maintain confidence and control in poor driving conditions and while cornering. In the event understeer or oversteer is detected, the system employs the anti-lock brake system and All-Speed Traction Control to assist in braking, accelerating or cornering on snow and ice, and in emergency driving conditions (Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions). Included in the Elite Package. Also available as a stand-alone option.
* Traction on Slippery Road Surfaces. All-Speed Traction Control helps maintain traction on slippery or loose road surfaces by using a combination of braking and engine inputs to reduce wheel spin. Traction Control sensors will detect slippage and automatically respond to help you maintain steering control.
* EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy. Lincoln LS V-8 Sport 18 city/25 hwy mpg.
* An Almost Perfectly Balanced Vehicle. Weight in the right places. With near 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, Lincoln LS handles exceptionally well on the road. In sudden high-speed braking situations, anti-lift geometry in the rear of the vehicle actually pulls Lincoln LS down toward the road.
* It's an Automatic Transmission. It's a Manual Transmission. An automatic transmission that performs like a manual. The standard five-speed SelectShift Automatic (R) transmission combines the convenience of an automatic transmission with the fun and performance of a manual. As a curve in the road appears, you can manually select your gear. On long straightaways, simply shift back to the automatic transmission mode.
* Designed For the Race Car Driver in You. Formula One-inspired. The standard independent sport-tuned suspension is based on a race-car design. Combined with its rear-wheel-drive configuration, this feature helps LS grab the road with confidence.
Safety Features
* Confidence and Control in Poor Driving Conditions. This feature enhances traction. The available AdvanceTrac (R) Electronic Stability Enhancement System helps you maintain confidence and control in poor driving conditions and while cornering. In the event understeer or oversteer is detected, the system employs the anti-lock brake system and All-Speed Traction Control to assist in braking, accelerating or cornering on snow and ice, and in emergency driving conditions (Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions). Included in the Elite Package. Also available as a stand-alone option.
* Traction on Slippery Road Surfaces. All-Speed Traction Control helps maintain traction on slippery or loose road surfaces by using a combination of braking and engine inputs to reduce wheel spin. Traction Control sensors will detect slippage and automatically respond to help you maintain steering control. With the available AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Enhancement System (Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.), stability is also enhanced when the anti-lock braking system is called upon to help maintain steering control.
* Help in Hard-Braking Situations. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) will aid you in hard-braking situations by electronically pumping the brakes, allowing for greater steering control and preventing wheel lockup. ABS is also used in helping to maintain stability with the available AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Enhancement System.
* Ahead of the pack. Again. For the seventh year in a row (2001-2006), Lincoln LS has received the highest rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (40-mph frontal offset crash test).
* Lower Anchors and Tether anchors for CHildren (LATCH). For the kids. Lincoln LS features the LATCH System for rear outboard seats. The system's mounting anchors and tether strap anchors make securing compatible child-safety seats simple.
* Enhanced Protection for You and Your Front-Seat Passenger. The Personal Safety System (R) controls front, dual-stage airbag (Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat) deployment levels and safety belt tension in certain frontal accidents. This standard feature provides enhanced protection for both driver and front passenger. Available side-curtain airbags (Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat) deploy from the headliner in certain side-impact collisions.
* SecuriLock (R) Passive Anti-Theft System. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. Its standard perimeter alarm system automatically arms after the key is removed from the ignition and the doors are locked. If an unauthorized attempt is made to enter the vehicle, the alarm will sound.Remote Keyless Entry. Remote Keyless Entry lets you unlock your car doors and open the trunk by simply pushing a button on the key fob. There is also a panic alarm on the key fob that flashes the exterior lights and sounds the horn. Just one more way Lincoln LS helps you feel secure.
* Keyless Entry Keypad. The integrated user-coded Keyless Entry Keypad on the driver's door lets you lock and unlock the doors, open the trunk and activate/deactivate the autolock system.
