Lynk & Co GT: Targeting the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

Lynk & Co, the premium brand of the Geely group, is set to make a strong impression at the Beijing Auto Show 2026.

From April 24 to May 3, Lynk & Co will unveil its very first concept car, the GT, for the world premiere. This two-door prototype with smooth, muscular lines embodies the brand’s growing ambition in the sports car segment.

Teaser images reveal a sleek and dynamic design: a low and wide silhouette, a body with flowing curves, full-width taillights, and a triangular rear window that recalls the style of the Lynk & Co 10, the new electric sedan expected in the second quarter of 2026. This concept is not just a styling exercise: it clearly aims to embody performance and emotion, two pillars that Lynk & Co wants to highlight to stand out in an ultra-competitive Chinese market.

This revelation fits into a broader strategy of moving upmarket in sports. Evidence of this is the Lynk & Co 10, which has just set a lap record at the Baijun Mountain Circuit, even beating the Porsche Taycan GT. Equipped with a “Racing Package” delivering up to 680 kW (about 925 hp), this model showcases the real technical capabilities of the brand.

The competition for brand image

More generally, Chinese manufacturers no longer hide their ambitions in motorsport. Lynk & Co has indeed been a true pioneer through its team Cyan Racing. The brand has won several world titles in the WTCR (World Touring Car Cup), including the first world title for a Chinese manufacturer in 2019 with the Lynk & Co 03 TCR. These successes have laid the groundwork for a true sports culture within the Geely group.

Looking to the future, it is easy to envision this GT concept on the starting grid of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With its bold racing DNA and the internal synergies of the group (Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar), a racing version could one day challenge the best GTs on the Circuit de la Sarthe, thereby extending Lynk & Co’s sports legacy on the international stage.

This offensive comes at a crucial moment in the brand’s history. After Zeekr acquired 51% of the capital in February 2025, Lynk & Co is accelerating its integration within Geely. After some missteps – such as the all-inclusive rental model in France – the brand is consolidating its positions. To do this, it is banking on design, performance, and innovation to attract a demanding customer base.
