- At the 1998 Mark VIII's heart is a 24-valve 4.6-liter V8 outputting 280 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 285 lb-ft. torque at 4,500 rpm. Bore and stroke are 90 and 90.2 mm, with a 9.9:1 compression ratio.
- The Mark VIII uses a front engine, rear-wheel drive configuration with a four-speed automatic the only transmission option. A sophisticated suspension setup uses double wishbones up front with rear independent, and air shocks all around responsible for auto-leveling the car over bumps. ABS braking with a traction control system is also standard.
- The 1998 Mark VIII measures 207.2 inches long, 74.8 inches wide and 53.6 inches tall with a 3,765-pound curb weight. The interior seats four and is filled with technological trickery, including a remote control immobilizer and a "puddle lighting" system which illuminates the area just outside each door when exiting the car.
