If only the real LS Sport looked as cool, and went as fast, as this factory-tuned version.

What is it?
Lincoln LS "Sport Edition"

What's special about it?
With 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque emanating from its supercharged V8, this is one serious LS. A revised engine computer and a performance intake system help the blown V8 achieve its lofty horsepower numbers without an increase to its 3.9-liter displacement.

The car sits slightly lower than stock and features Bilstein shocks and upgraded antiroll bars for better control. Aluminum alloy 19-inch wheels wrapped in Z-rated high-performance tires further contribute to the custom look of this hot rod Lincoln.

Why should you care?
In its current guise, the standard LS is nothing more than a boulevard cruiser with nice wheels and a smooth, but not overly powerful, V8. This version shows that the LS can be a real high-performance machine, given the right parts. With a facelift due next year, we can only hope that future "sport" models will look as good and have as much horsepower as this show version. — Ed Hellwig
