This generation, known internally as the "Continental Mark VIII," was a complete departure from its predecessors, embracing a more modern and athletic design. The Continental's sleek, aerodynamic profile was a result of extensive wind tunnel testing, showcasing a smooth, flowing silhouette with a distinctive rounded front end and a sloping rear. Under the hood, it featured a powerful 4.6-liter, 32-valve V8 engine, capable of delivering a robust 280 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. The powerplant was mated to a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission, providing both spirited acceleration and comfortable cruising. Inside the Continental's luxurious cabin, occupants were treated to a high level of comfort and refinement. Leather upholstery, wood trim, and plush carpeting adorned the interior, creating a sense of opulence. Standard features included power windows and locks, climate control, and a premium sound system. The Continental also boasted advanced safety features for its time, including dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and traction control. Notably, the 1998 model introduced the innovative "Personal Safety System," which utilized sensors to detect the severity of a collision and deploy airbags accordingly. Overall, the 1998 Lincoln Continental represented a significant step forward for the brand, offering a blend of luxurious comfort, powerful performance, and innovative safety features. Its sleek design and advanced technology solidified its reputation as a true symbol of American automotive excellence.
