Lamborghini Perdigón Design Concept by Ondrej Jirec is Razor Sharp, But is it Too Much?


Ever since Lamborghini  unleashed  the  limited-run Reventon Coupe and Roadster specials back in 2008

Lincoln MKF Concept Could Make a Compelling Rival Against the Mercedes CLS

It’s no secret that Lincoln has been struggling on many different levels over the past years - if not decades, with one of the more persisting problems being that the Blue Oval's sole luxury standard bearer has persistently failed to deliver in the design department. The Ford group's answer to this problem was the appointment of former Cadillac exterior design Max Wolff as the head of Lincoln's design team last year and the creation of a new 40,000-square-foot dedicated studio in Dearborn, withthe new MKZ being the first example of Lincoln's styling revitalization. Moreover, Lincoln is also looking for young and emerging talents from colleges and universities by sponsoring projects. One of the more recent Lincoln backed concepts that caught our attention is the MKF from Brian Malczewski, an automotive design student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. We don't have a description of the Lincoln MKF Concept, but the styling and proportions suggest an executive size sports saloon in the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW 6-Series Grand Coupe. After you take a closer look at the sketches and photos of the Lincoln MKF Concept in our gallery below, you can head over to the comments section to share your thoughts on the design. Design / Photo Credits: Source: Carscoop
