The Lincoln Town Car (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/town+car) is a the ride of choice for limousine companies and car services around the world. One problem, we're rapidly approaching the official death knell of the panther platform (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/panther+platform/), and that means that soon enough no more new Town Cars are going to be built. Lincoln (http://www.autoblog.com/make/lincoln/) is ready to fill that upcoming void and is using the 2011 Internation Limousine, Charter and Tour Show as a platform to debut its MKT Town Car and Limousine.
Comfort is the name of the game with livery operators, so Lincoln has pushed the rear seats of the MKT (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mkt) further back to add 1.5-inches of legroom. The rear seats can also recline and the right rear can access even more legroom by controlling the front passenger seat.
Cargo room is improved compared to the outgoing Town Car. The MKT Town Car offers 39.6 cubic feet of space, which means passengers can cram in more luggage, golf clubs or cases of cheap beer for post prom-night activities.
In addition to the MKT Town Car, Lincoln has an MKT ready to do serious limo duty thanks to a a heavy-duty chassis that can be streched up to an additional 10 feet in length. The MKT Town Car is available with either front or all-wheel drive while all-wheel drive comes standard on the MKT Limo.
Read more about both versions in the full press release after the jump. You can also check out photos of the MKT Town Car's interior in the gallery below.
