<P> Relative to the exterior, the interior of the LS bore a stronger resemblance to the S - Type, with a similar dashboard layout, gauges, and controls . The interior of the LS was simple, straightforward, and comfortable . Large gauges were designed to convey sportiness, while other controls, such as audio and climate controls, were positioned in the car's center stack for convenience to both the driver and the front passenger . The steering wheel could be wood - and leather - wrapped while wood accents continued around the interior on the door panels and dashboard area . Leather seating surfaces were standard and the front power bucket seats were bolstered for a firm feel like the LS' European competitors . Other standard interior features included power windows, power door locks with keyless entry, power heated mirrors, automatic headlights, air conditioning with automatic climate control, cruise control, and an AM / FM cassette radio . Some of the available options included a six - disc in - dash CD changer (only accessible through the glove box initially; changed on later models), a power moonroof, and a universal garage door opener . </P> <P> As mentioned above, the Lincoln LS shared a platform and equipment with the Jaguar S - Type . The DEW98 platform on which the cars were based was a rigid chassis that featured independent double wishbone (short - long arm; SLA) front and rear suspensions for excellent handling and ride quality . Enhancing ride quality further, as well as increasing interior space, was the LS' large 114.5 - inch (2,910 mm) wheelbase . Four - wheel antilock disc brakes were standard while Ford's AdvanceTrac traction control system was available as an option for improved driving control . A number of suspension components, as well as the hood, decklid, and front fenders, used aluminum to save weight . The LS came with standard 16 - inch alloy wheels while 17 - inch wheels were available through an optional sport package . The sport package for only an extra $1000.00, gave a stiffer suspension, 17 - inch rims and a "slap shift" selecter . The battery of the LS was positioned in the spare tire well inside the car's trunk because too little room for it was left in the engine bay . However, moving the heavy battery and its interconnecting cables to the rear of the vehicle contributed to its near - 50 / 50 weight distribution . </P> <P> The base LS was powered by an all - aluminum 3.0 L DOHC V6 that was a variant of the Jaguar AJ - V6 engine . Optional in the LS was an all - aluminum 3.9 L DOHC V8, a shorter - stroke variant of the Jaguar 4.0 L AJ - 26 V8 . The V8 was not offered as a manual because the Getrag could not handle the torque produced . Both engines required premium - grade gasoline for optimum performance . Ford's 5R55S five - speed automatic transmission with an optional manual shift ability called SelectShift was standard with either engine, while a Getrag 221 five - speed manual transmission was available for V6 - equipped LS models through an optional sport package . Automatic transmission - equipped cars featured a 3.58: 1 rear - axle ratio, while manual transmission - equipped versions came with a 3.07: 1 rear - axle ratio . The available manual transmission made the LS the first Lincoln since the 1951 Cosmopolitan to have this option . In spite of this, Lincoln stopped production of the manual - transmission model LS after 2002 due to low sales figures; only 2,331 were produced . Road tests by Motor Trend and Car and Driver found that a V8 - equipped LS could accelerate from zero to 60 mph (97 km / h) in the low seven - second range, while V6 models were up to two seconds slower in the same test . </P> <P> The LS was named Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 2000, and was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award, as well . Early 2000 LS models included a full - sized spare tire . This was changed (starting in February 2000) to a space - saving spare tire, to reduce weight to keep the car in the mid-size class per government specifications . However, the spare tire well in all LS models still has space for a full - sized spare . </P>
