Here’s a preview worth looking more than a decade into the future. It is a 2025 Lincoln Continental and it’s an EV model since, apparently, that’s the way of the future.

What makes this particular future dream of a car special is that the 2025 Lincoln Continental was designed by the people who are likely to work on it in a few years, as right now they are students.

Despite the college roots, this new student designed Lincoln Continental has full approval of the mother company of the luxury brand, the Blue Oval that is Ford.

In fact, the guys over at Ford were so pleased with the idea that they’ve commissioned a 1:4 scale model of the Lincoln concept.

This “miniature” model was showcased at the recently ended Detroit Motor Show within the Ford/Lincoln stand of the event.

Getting the 2025 Lincoln Continental EV model to happen was a little tricky but not as difficult as this stuff usually is with credit going to the two students that dreamed it up.

They are Colin Bonathan and Jeeho Cha, they attend Lawrence Tech University and, along side engineering and design abilities, they seem to have a firm grasp on presentation.

Otherwise it’s pretty hard to get corporate bosses to approve of such ideas, even if they are as good looking as the 2025 Lincoln Continental EV.

Speaking of the look, according to the students, they didn’t finalize it until clearly setting straight issues with the drivetrain, interior accommodations and a few other practical aspects.

That’s a pretty rare thing in the world of concepts or design studies that stretch this far into the future.
