- Lynk & Co will debut its first GT concept car at the Beijing auto show.
- The performance-focused study adopts a sleek two-door coupe stance.
- Volvo will take over European commercial operations for Lynk & Co.
Lynk & Co’s production range has, until now, played it safe with SUVs and sedans. That may be about to change. The Geely-owned brand is preparing to show something with a bit more bite, announcing a two-door GT concept set to debut at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show on April 24, previewed by a single teaser.
The shadowy image suggests a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car, with proportions that land somewhere close to the now-departed Jaguar F-Type. There is a long dash-to-axle ratio, a low, sculpted profile, and planted rear shoulders. A sloping roofline flows into full-width LED taillights, while the rising beltline brings to mind the Lynk & Co 10+ sedan.

Details remain thin, as expected at this stage, but the concept will almost certainly sit on existing Geely architecture. That opens the door to either a fully electric setup or a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Interestingly, the GT appears closer to production than the 2022 Next Day concept, which shared a similarly low-slung, sporty silhouette but stretched things further with a longer body and four suicide scissor doors. If it gets the green light, this new model could find itself taking aim at the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-AMG GT, as well as China’s MG Cyberster.
The GT highlights the racing pedigree of Lynk & Co that has been quite successful in TCR. The company entered the TCR championship in 2019, taking the reigns from the defunct Volvo Polestar racing program.
Volvo Takes Over Sales And Service In Europe
Beyond the showroom floor, Lynk & Co is undergoing a structural shift in its global operations. Volvo Cars and Geely Auto recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will see the former take over the commercial and brand operations for Lynk & Co in Europe.

Under this new arrangement, Volvo becomes the exclusive importer and distributor for Lynk & Co across the Old Continent, using its retailer and service networks. This means that the Geely-owned brand moves away from its previous subscription-heavy model toward a more traditional retail structure.
