The powertrain for the Lincoln MKR Concept is unexpectedly sporty, too. It's a twin-turbo version of Ford's recently introduced 3.5-liter V6 with direct injection. Ford claims the Lincoln MKR Concept 's motor makes 415 horsepower & 400 pound-feet of torque & runs on E85 ethanol. A version of this motor, called the TwinForce, will make it to production, but the double-throwdown chrome treatment it has received for auto show duty will not. Lincoln even went so far as to carry some of the sedan's cranberry red metallic paint under the hood. The Lincoln MKR Concept 's engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
