Lynk & Co has pulled the covers off its first-ever GT concept at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show. Called Time to Shine, the two-door Gran Turismo marks the Chinese-Swedish brand's 10th anniversary and points to a much sharper performance direction. Lynk & Co claims the GT concept can hit 100km/h in two seconds.
Lynk & Co GT concept design
Time to Shine wears the classic wide-body proportions of a modern Gran Turismo. It's long, wide and very low, with a stance built to look planted before it even moves.
The body is finished in Apex Blue, a liquid-metal paint that shifts in depth and tone as you walk around the car. Spark Yellow accents nod to the brand's racing heritage, and the surfaces are shaped to play with light at every angle.
Inside, it's a 2+2 cabin trimmed in White Digital Shimmer leather, with hand-laid Textreme 360 carbon fibre behind the seats. Lynk & Co pitches it as a warm, driver-focused space rather than a stripped-out track special.

The Spark Yellow "+" button
The standout feature is a physical Spark Yellow "+" button on the centre console. Press it and the GT enters performance mode. The suspension drops 15mm, aero elements extend at the front and rear (adding 100mm to overall length) and a rear wing deploys for extra downforce.
At the same time, the instrument panel and three digital screens fold away. The driver is left with just the road ahead, an unusual move in a car otherwise packed with tech.
Mechanically, the concept rides on a track-inspired chassis with rear-wheel drive and an AI-powered motion control system. Lynk & Co says it's been tuned for sustained high power, not just one-shot launch numbers.
Lynk & Co Australia availability
Lynk & Co does not currently sell cars in Australia. The brand runs across 25 European markets and is yet to confirm any local launch plans. Whether the GT concept reaches production at all will depend on feedback from Lynk & Co's 1.76 million global users.
If it gets the green light, Australian buyers will be hoping the brand's expansion plans eventually stretch Down Under.
