Lynk & Co Debuts First GT Concept at Beijing Auto Show as Zeekr Pushes Brand Upmarket

Lynk & Co's first GT-shaped concept sports car debuts at Beijing Auto Show booth A103 on April 24, alongside the pre-sale opening for the Lynk & Co 10 and 10+ sedans. The concept is the clearest signal yet of Zeekr's plan to reposition Lynk & Co after taking a 51 percent stake in 2025, filling a gap that March sales data shows the brand urgently needs.

Lynk & Co Debuts First GT Concept at Beijing Auto Show as Zeekr Pushes Brand Upmarket

Lynk & Co unveils its first GT concept sports car at the Beijing Auto Show on April 24, booth A103 at the Capital International Exhibition Convention Center. The teaser shows a low-slung silhouette, flowing body lines, and a full-width taillight, and the triangular rear window carries directly over from the Lynk & Co 10 sedan that launches in Q2. This is the brand's first pure sports-car-shaped concept after eight years of crossovers and sedans.

The GT reveal sits alongside the April 24 pre-sales opening of the Lynk & Co 10 and 10+ BEV sedan pair. Earlier this month, Lynk & Co announced that the 10+ beat the Porsche Taycan GT's time at the Baijun Mountain Circuit, described by the brand as Asia's only ridge-top racetrack.

The Track Nobody Outside China Has Heard Of

Lap records at tracks nobody outside China has heard of have become the Chinese EV industry's favorite PR currency. Baijun Mountain is scenic, uniquely Chinese, and carries precisely zero benchmark weight outside the country's borders. For a brand selling 25,426 vehicles globally in March, flat year-on-year and down 7.07 percent from February, niche-circuit marketing is cheap theater. The question is whether Zeekr-derived hardware backs up the claims on tracks that actually matter.

The Zeekr Factor

Zeekr took a 51 percent stake in Lynk & Co in February 2025. Since then, Geely has been openly re-platforming its premium EV brands around Zeekr engineering. Zeekr builds high-performance BEVs on the SEA platform with 800V architecture and outputs above 500 kW. Lynk & Co, historically a Volvo-derived CMA brand with hybrid and ICE volume models, has been the odd brand out in that lineup.

The GT concept is how the mismatch gets resolved. Putting a sports-car-shaped halo on a Zeekr-derived platform lets Lynk & Co climb into the premium-EV bracket where Zeekr already fights Xiaomi, Xpeng, and Nio. Whether the production car uses the SEA floorpan of the Zeekr 001 FR is the detail that turns this from concept theater into a real product announcement. My read is that it will, and the GT will ship with the same 580 kW and sub-3-second 0-100 km/h spec sheet the 001 FR carries. Anything less and Geely loses the plot.

Beijing Auto Show press days start April 23. Lynk & Co stand opens the following morning. The 10 and 10+ go on pre-sale April 24, with final pricing expected in June.
