This was said under that car:
Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.

This guy's name is Josaiah LaColla like Terry said. He draws pretty bad@ss but this is nothing more than a guy's dreams just like us but with a mighty talent for art.
He posted this April 7th 2012. Almost a year ago.

This is a revamped version of his design from November 2012
http://lacolladesign.blogspot.com/2012/11/lincoln-continental-mark-x1-rework.html
& this is what he based those Mark X1's on. A Mustang Mach X1 he designed back in August 2011.

So let's not start dreaming of something that's just on paper.
However I'm not stupid & I know that EVERY SINGLE car out there on the road today started on a piece of paper.
