At the heart of every 2004 2005 Lincoln LS is, of course, one mighty engine. You’ll get plenty of get-up-and-go with a standard 24-valve, 3.0-liter, DOHC V-6 engine. This engine's powerful, smooth performance is enhanced by 232 horsepower, 220 pounds-per-foot of torque, dual exhausts, and the patented Cosworth-casting process for enhanced performance. If you want more power, you can opt for the available 280-horsepower, V-8, 32-valve, 3.9-liter DOHC engine, which boasts Lincoln LS all-aluminum engine and suspension components for reduced unsprung weight. Available on the Lincoln LS Sport, the 5-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission delivers seamless performance, with fully automatic or one-touch manual shifting and shift points that intuitively adapt to match driving conditions. Finally, you will experience increased ride comfort and driver confidence with twin-tube damping.

With 280 horsepower and 286 pounds-feet of torque on tap, the LS V8 will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in the low 6-second range. A decade ago that was hot-rod performance and it's still very quick. Moreover, the V8 accelerates quickly at any speed when you jab the gas, whether you do so at 20 mph or 70 mph. Its relatively small displacement compared to other V8s in the class pays dividends, too. Reported at 18 mpg city and 24 highway, the LS V8 has some of the highest EPA mileage ratings among V8-powered luxury cars. The throttle is a bit sensitive at tip-in, so you may need to get used to using a gentle foot when accelerating away from a standstill. Also, there's not much engine braking, so you may find yourself using the brakes a bit more than with European cars.
