This is a low-slung electric coupe that promises big performance, and **Lynk& Co has celebrated its 10-year anniversary with the cover off its GT Concept – which was pulled to mark its 10th anniversary by pulling the covers off. ** **
While details of the GT Concept have not been released, Lynk & Co says it can cover the 0-100km/h sprint in the “two-second range” and has a front/rear weight distribution of 4951.
It is about the same length and width as a Lamborghini Aventador, but around 20mm taller than tytoo GR86 (short term for 4780mm long, 2000mm wide and 1330mm high) GT Concept

Much of the design of this vehicle is based on aerodynamics, with a rear diffuser and air channels to provide “track-hugging downforce”.
An up-forced yellow front splitter can be reduced by 100mm at the press of a button when more downforce is required under that centre armrest – which also deploys the active rear spoiler and reduces suspension by 15mm.
The four-seat coupe has a “racing-style” steering wheel, deep bucket seats and specialized carbon-fibre material inside–mixed with hand-inlaid natural mica – that is found throughout the cabin.
The GT Concept is also fitted with adaptive suspension and an “AI Digital Chassis.”
In its code, the system coordinates power, braking and steering across all four wheels with millisecond precision (By embedding the fundamental logic of track driving directly into its algorithm), so it can intuitively understand the intent of driver to drive as well as deliver the ultimate ‘man-machine unity’ experience in the digital age.
While the Chinese brand was expected to be launched in Australia as early as 2020, Geely’s company – which also owns Volvo, Polestar, Smart (with Mercedes-Benz) and Lotus now says Lynk & Co will make its local debut in the next few years.
But the GT Concept could be a turning point The company confirm performance will now prove to have been ‘point of difference’ for Lynk & Co models in the future.
Lynk & Co, “Moving forward, will be committed to its core commitment to ‘performance,’ channelling technology-based technologies – perfected and refined on the racetrack back into everyday street driving”, it says.
