Performance Features
* V-8 Power. A powerful engine. The Lincoln V-8 features 239 hp and 287 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine provides smooth acceleration, and thanks to a dual exhaust system, you'll feel the power, but not hear it.
* EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy. Lincoln Town Car (all models) 17 city/25 hwy mpg.
* Rack-and-Pinion Steering. Making steering a little easier. The speed-sensitive, variable-assist rack-and-pinion steering system in the rear-wheel-drive Town Car allows for easy turning of the steering wheel. That means it's easy to parallel park and keep the vehicle on track at highway speeds.
* Smooth and Comfortable. Two ride attributes come to mind when describing Town Car: smooth and solid. Front frame rails are hydroformed, making them stronger than conventional stamped rails. That means they can accommodate the suspension components to deliver enhanced handling and precise steering. Other features include: Monotube shock absorbers that react quickly for greater control; Stabilizer bars, which help keep the body level when turning; Load-leveling rear air springs to help smooth out the ride
* Traction When You Need it Most. All-Speed Traction Control, a standard feature on all Town Car models, helps improve traction on loose or slippery surfaces by using a combination of brake and engine inputs to reduce wheel spin.
* Four-Speed Automatic Transmission. Silky smooth shifting. The four-speed electronic automatic transmission with overdrive is engineered to deliver smooth shifting.
Safety Features
* Help in Hard-Braking Situations. These brakes give you electronic braking control. In hard-braking situations, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) can help you by electronically pumping the brakes for greater steering control in most driving conditions.
* Top Ratings in Five Categories. Five stars in five categories. Town Car is the first car in automotive history to receive a five-star rating in all five categories (Government's driver and passenger front, side-front and rear crash test, and Rollover Resistance rating). On top of that, Town Car has received the government's highest five-star front crash rating five years in a row (2001-2005).
* Lower Anchors and Tether anchors for CHildren (LATCH). Feel secure in securing your kids. For your younger passengers, Town Car features the LATCH System in all second-row seats. The system's mounting anchors and tether anchors make securing compatible child-safety seats simple.
* Personal Safety System for Added Protection. The standard Personal Safety System controls energy deployment levels of dual-stage front airbags (Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat) and safety belt tension in certain frontal accidents. This standard feature provides enhanced protection for both driver and front passenger. Two more standard occupant protection features - front-seat-mounted side-impact airbags (Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat) and side-intrusion door beams in all four doors - can help enhance the safety of the driver and occupants in certain side-impact collisions.
* SecuriLock 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 sounds the alarm if an unauthorized attempt is made to enter the vehicle.
* Remote Keyless Entry System. Remote Keyless Entry lets you unlock the doors and liftgate by simply pushing a button on the key fob. There is also a panic alarm on the key fob that flashes the headlamps and sounds the horn.
* User-Coded Keypad. The user-coded keypad on the driver's side door lets you unlock the vehicle's doors.
* Traction When You Need it Most. All-Speed Traction Control, a standard feature on all Town Car models, helps improve traction on loose or slippery surfaces by using a combination of brake and engine inputs to reduce wheel spin.
