“It fits you like a fun suit,” Galhotra added.
The Continental has a 3.0-liter V6 engine with twin turbochargers that produces a projected 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.
The car is liberally equipped with driver-assist technologies from a lane keeping system to a mechanism that takes the sweat out of parking.
The Continental will be produced at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. The Lincoln flagship goes on sale this fall.
Meanwhile, Ford CEO Mark Fields said Lincoln is making steady progress as a luxury car maker. Global sales were up 17 percent last year, and it plans to have 60 Lincoln dealerships up and running by the end of this year.
“2016 will be an inflection point for Lincoln. It is the largest ever portfolio for the brand,” he said. “With the Continental, we are delivering the last of the four new (Lincoln) products that we promised.”
