Lynk & Co Debuts ‘Time to Shine’ GT Concept at Auto China 2026

The show car lets the brand test buyer interest before it locks in a powertrain or production plan.

Overview

  • Lynk & Co revealed a two-door Gran Turismo concept in Beijing that marks the brand’s tenth anniversary and previews a possible design direction.
  • The company cites a 0–100 km/h time of about 2.0 seconds, notes rear-wheel drive, and highlights AI-assisted chassis controls, while withholding exact drivetrain details.
  • A physical plus switch triggers a performance mode that lowers the car by 15 mm, deploys front and rear aero, extends a rear wing by about 100 mm in overall length, and tucks away nonessential cabin displays.
  • The 4.78 m long, 2.00 m wide, 1.33 m tall coupe uses classic GT proportions and a driver-focused 2+2 cabin with light leather, carbon seat structures, small square screens, and substantial physical controls.
  • Developed under a Swedish-led team with European and Chinese input, the concept departs from Lynk & Co’s SUV-heavy lineup and could signal a shift if public feedback drives a production case.
