This car is available for purchase for someone wanting a "one-off" Lincoln LS. It's pricey but could be a nice addition to the garage. I was approached by the current owner, Gene Felton. He called me this morning asking if I wanted to purchase it. I told him I'd love to but if I did I'd be sleeping in it. Hence, the wife unit would make me leave the house. Anyway, I told him that I would post it here on LVC for anyone wanting to purchase it. You can see the pictures below and the description of the car. He said he was asking $50K for it but could be had for cheaper I'd imagine. His contact number is 770-594-9660. Canepa Design's website is:

It's basically a 2001 LS Sport with the LSE appearance package. That pretty much ends the similarity. Canepa states that the car was recalibrated with a Roush ECM to produce the HP and torque they advertise. The car was slated for the Jaguar supercharger but Jaguar got their panties in a bunch and didn't want it in the LS. Bruce Canepa backed down since this was a Ford commissioned vehicle by the Premier Automotive Group. He went to Roush and had them configure an ECM for the LS. Here is the spec sheet on the car:
Canepa Design has taken America’s best touring sedan and created a “tuner” version that will rival any of Europe’s well known high performance luxury sedans.
