Lynk & Co unveiled its first two-door grand tourer concept at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show. Named Time to Shine, the car was created for the company’s tenth anniversary and combines subjects drawn from its design development, road-car range and touring-car programme. The project was led by Lynk & Co’s Swedish design team, with development work completed jointly in Europe and China.
The concept measures 4,780 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,330 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm. Its wide body, low roof and long side profile establish conventional grand tourer proportions, while the exterior surfaces were designed to change in appearance according to light, viewing angle and movement. The car is finished in Apex Blue liquid-metal paint, accompanied by Spark Yellow details referring to Lynk & Co’s motorsport activities.
Inside is a 2+2 seating arrangement developed around a driver-focused central area. White Digital Shimmer leather covers much of the cabin, while hand-inlaid Textreme 360 carbon fibre is positioned behind the seats. The contrasting treatment combines light-coloured upholstery with technical materials rather than using the uniformly dark interior normally associated with performance cars.
A physical yellow “+” button on the centre console controls the concept’s performance mode. Activating it lowers the suspension by 15 mm and extends aerodynamic components at both ends, increasing the vehicle’s overall length by 100 mm. A rear wing is deployed at the same time to alter airflow, downforce and high-speed stability. The instrument panel and three digital displays also fold away, removing information that is not required while the performance setting is active.
The Time to Shine concept uses rear-wheel drive, a track-influenced chassis and an AI-supported digital chassis responsible for vehicle-motion control. Lynk & Co claims acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in two seconds and states that the drivetrain can maintain high power delivery. The company has not disclosed the type of powertrain, its output, battery specification or other mechanical details.
Lynk & Co connects the concept with its nine touring-car championships achieved over seven seasons and with a global community reported to include more than 1.76 million users. Production has not been confirmed, and no market introduction has been announced. The company intends to use reactions from the public and its existing customers when considering possible powertrain configurations and any continuation of the project.
