The Lincoln MKS is a full-size, five passenger luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by the Lincoln subdivision of Ford. First shown as a 2009 model year the LA Auto Show in November 2007, the MKS began production at Ford's Chicago Assembly plant in May 2008 with sales beginning a month later.
The MKS shares Ford's D3 Automobile platform with the sixth generation Ford Taurus as well as other models and features front-wheel drive with optional all-wheel drive. The MKS is powered by a 3.7 L Duratec V6 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. An optional EcoBoost 3.5 L twin-turbo, direct injection V6 is also available. The Lincoln MKS continues Lincoln's three-letter nomenclature for new models, preceded by the MKZ, MKT, and MKX, and followed by the MKC. The MKS became the marque's sole full-size sedan in the 2012 model year with the discontinuation of the Town Car. The MKS then became the longest domestic production sedan at 205.6 in (17.13 ft; 5.22 m) overall length.
In 2015, Lincoln announced the return of the Lincoln Continental, cancelling the MKS that has been one of its slowest-selling cars.
