MCLN mention in Forbes.com article.
Lincoln LSE

While McLaren may be better known for tuning up cars to make them race ready (McLaren created the Northstar powertrain for Cadillac's 24-Hour Le Mans car recently), the aftermarket performance company is now teaming up with Lincoln to add considerable spice to its slow-selling LS.

McLaren took the 252-horsepower, 3.9-liter V-8 in the stock LS and boosted output (via supercharger) to about 350, with an estimated leap in torque from 261 to 350 foot-pounds. The LSE also gets a special six-speed manual transmission. Considerable suspension modifications were also made, with tighter springs and shocks (the car rides an inch lower than stock), and brakes were also made bigger, to help slow the hot-rod Lincoln.

Production for the LSE begins this fall. Stock LS's run $38,000, but the LSE will run a steep $56,000. That may sound high, but with expected performance on par with forthcoming Jaguar S-Type R and BMW's current M5, the screaming Lincoln may prove a considerable bargain.
