The LSC was a performance oriented model, designed to compete against European luxury coupes like the BMW 630/635CSi and the Mercedes-Benz 500/560SEC, so it had a stiffer suspension, dual exhaust, sport leather seats, a higher output engine (until 1988 when all came with the 225 hp 302 from the Mustang GT) and sport styled 15 inch rims. Base Mark VIIs and the designer series had wire rims and even an optional geometric rim. In 1988, 16 in (406 mm) turbine rims appeared on the LSC. For 1989, 16 inch rims based on the BBS RA Series appeared on the LSC. In 1991, the wheels became standard on both the Bill Blass and the LSC as the LSC suspension was standardized across the board. The LSC also had analog gauges (1986 onward) with a speedometer, tachometer, fuel level gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and separate trip and regular odometers. All the others had digital instruments with just a speedometer, fuel level gauge, and trip odometer. All Mark VII's had the rare option of a power trunk pull-down motor, in which the trunk lid was clicked closed and then automatically pulled down about an inch by a motor mounted inside the trunk. Also standard on all Mark VII's was an automatic dimming high-beam module. This worked via a sensor located in the rear-view mirror, and could be adjusted by a dial located on the dashboard. Of notable mention is the Mark VII GTC, a Lincoln Mercury dealer sold car built by Cars & Concepts with monorchromatic paint, a body kit, and available performance upgrades. A select few were sent to Jack Roush Performance for suspension enhancements and optional 5.8L and T5 manual transmission conversions.
