2014 Lincoln MK-9E coupe. Plug-in Sports Luxury

Click on image to enlarge, as always, here at casey/artandcolour.

Lincoln MK-9E—This is my attempt at adapting Lincoln's current design language to the proportions of the late, and lamented, Marks VII and VIII. RWD and AWD would be available, as well as a Twin-turbo V8 or Plug-in hybrid with range extending EcoBoost 3 liter V6. Power Panoramic roof is standard, as are highly detailed wheels with body-color anodized as well as polished- and brushed-alloy wheels. The Eighties and Nineties are retro-ed in various ways, it's not too early, lol! The unique door handles resemble those on "suicide" door sedans, but in this case, the chromed portion mounted on the body next to the door is the receiver for the Smart Key and is touch-sensitive, descending quickly into the body revealing a clean, and, chromed, fingergrip for the door. The doors are power soft-opening-and-closing like the finest über German luxury cars.

I created this new Mark 9E, and made it this color, because of a cool Lincoln Mark VIII I used to see almost daily at my local grocery store. It belonged to a young man that works there, inherited from his late Dad. I took quite a few pics of his car, which while not perfect was quite a nice example. I thought I'd post those photos along with this chop when I finished, but of course, "the best laid plans of mice and men..." I've combed my eFolders going back a year and I can't find ANY of the photos I shot of his car. I have no idea where they may be. Since I can't find any of them, I'm thinking I must have put them all in a separate folder with some arcane name that made sense at the time, but which I can't recall right now. I only have about 35,000 photos to go through, so I'm not sure I'll ever find them, lol. Since I shot them, the car has died and was too expensive to repair. Let this Photoshopped Mark 9E be an homage to that once and beautiful automobile!

I've created a couple of other Mark 9s, or more correctly, Mark IXs:
Mark IX BiTurbo V12
Mark IX Luxury Coupe
Mark GT/V12 Sports Coupe

And of course, check out the "Labels" on the side for more Lincolns or to see if I've designed any other cars you'd like!

New Volkswagen Golf Plus and Golf R

New Volkswagen Golf Plus





The new Golf Plus is expected to come out late to next year. It will undoubtedly be based on the MQB architecture and will be powered by all sort of different engines, ranging from a base 1.2-liter TSI with 85 hp to a very decent 2.0-liter TDI with 150 hp. Although thickly padded in camouflage, this prototype does let us peak at the design. The wheel design is also taken directly from the Golf, but the tailgate is something completely new. Compared to a regular Golf you have a lot more space to relax, and compared to a Variant, it's shorter and easier to use in the city.


New Volkswagen Golf R



Volkswagen has made R-badge Golf longer than expectation. Set to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, now just weeks away, the new Golf R acks a whopping 296 horsepower.

That's not just more than the 286 hp we expected or more than a proportionate increase over its predecessors: Compare that figure to the 237 hp in the first Golf R32, the 247 hp in the one that followed and the 261 hp in the outgoing Golf R, and you'll realize that the new output doesn't just represent a bigger leap than Volkswagen R GmbH has ever taken before, it's bigger than the entire progress of the line until now.

The suspension of 0.78 inches compared to the Mk7 Golf on which it is based (0.2 inches lower than the GTI) decreased the aerodynamic kit similar to the R-Line, the looks we saw previously, dual exhaust pipes protrude from the diffuser in the back and buyers can opt for 18- or 19-inch wheels.

My Concept for Pebble Beach this Weekend!

The famed Pebble Beach Concours is this weekend in the Monterey, California area. It's often the site of new car launches. I've created a flagship station wagon, a full-sized plug-in hybrid, the 2014 Buick  Electra Estate Wagon. In addition to the trademark brushed aluminum-and-chrome Sweepspear and microveneer wraparound woodgraining, each front fender carries a platinum metallic circular access hatch highlighting the new TriColor Buick shield logo. Their design is a nod to the dual sidemounted tires so popular in the prewar period. The driver side panel opens to the plug-in circuitry. The passenger side opens to reveal four custom carbon-fiber cloth umbrellas, one for each well-cossetted interior passenger. Center opening side doors are powered as is the rear hatch and tailgate, the former's opening comprising fully 1/3 of the roof before it slides forward along roof rails.

This year at Pebble, I have a friend showing his '56 Mark II convertible in the Continental display, and another friend is there sheparding a pristing '65 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in the Cadillac display.

Audi A7C—Pillarless Two-door Coupe

My Audi A7C, an actual pillarless coupe version of Audi's 5-door A7 Sportback. The hatchback would be replaced by innovative slide-and-open tailgate opening design. I've simplified and refined Audi's corporate "face." The intertwined rings logo is smaller and moved to the header of the chrome grille frame. A central LED "light bar" has been added to the grille to unify the LED headlight graphic. There is a very subtle raised panel leading from this new higher-placed logo which fades into the rise of the aluminum hood. The taillights would also consist of a similar central panel LED bar tying their outer graphics together body-wide. A very American use of the Audi rings is their placement on the C-pillar, but, hey, that's me. I really think the new front end could be an effective refinement of their current design. Audi should have a competitor for the E-Class coupe.

Cold War of Suzuki and VW Still Continues

Tokyo - The news about the reconciliation Suzuki and Volkswagen are indisputable. The cold war is still going on between them. Suzuki has denied there have been discussions with VW.

Disputes both happened after Volkswagen bought a 20 percent stake in Suzuki in January 2009 with a value of 1.7 billion euros. At the beginning of the agreement, Volkswagen will be helped given the way for entry into the Indian market where Suzuki is considered very strong.

Access to environmentally friendly technologies will also be opened. However, the relationship was fractured in September 2011 after VW accused Suzuki had violated their contract by choosing to use diesel engines from Fiat.

After this feud, Suzuki asks Volkswagen to release the shares and will buy again by Suzuki, but VW refused the request.

Previously rumored that the two companies are going to meet to solve the problem. "There are a variety of reports, but there really is not like that fact, so I can not talk about this topic," said Executive Vice President Suzuki Toshihiro.
