Lynk & Co 10+ Official Images Debut Stunningly, With Wind-Chearing Design – Can It Replicate the Classic of Lynk & Co 03+?
Share
Recently, Lynk & Co officially released the official images of its high-performance model, the Lynk & Co 10+. As soon as the new car was exposed, it triggered heated discussions across the network. The most attention-grabbing feature is its wind-adjustable carbon fiber rear spoiler. The sharp shape, the texture of carbon fiber material, and the adjustable function create a full visual impact. Many netizens have asked: Can this new performance flagship replicate the classic legend of the Lynk & Co 03+ back then and continue the performance glory of the Lynk & Co brand?
It is reported that the Lynk & Co 10+ is not an entirely new model, but an official renaming and facelift upgrade of the previous Lynk & Co Z10 model. The "+" suffix continues the naming tradition of Lynk & Co's high-performance models, which is in the same line as classic high-performance models such as the Lynk & Co 03+ and 05+. It clearly defines its core positioning as a performance version – on the basis of the Lynk & Co 10 base model, it comprehensively enhances the sports attributes and performance, creating a mid-to-large-sized high-performance sedan that combines luxury texture and track genes. Its positioning is similar to the role of the Lynk & Co 03+ in the Lynk & Co 03 model line, which is not only the performance ceiling of the model line, but also a concrete embodiment of the brand's sports genes.
In terms of exterior design, while inheriting Lynk & Co's family's The Next Day original aesthetic design language, the Lynk & Co 10+ integrates a large number of exclusive performance kits, and the overall shape is highly aggressive and recognizable. At the front, the new car is equipped with a newly designed sporty front bumper. Compared with the Lynk & Co 10 base model, the front lip is more prominent, with sharp lines extending downward, which not only enhances the visual low-lying posture, but also effectively optimizes the aerodynamic performance of the front of the car; the size of the front air intake is greatly increased, with a honeycomb matte black design inside, paired with sharp air guide grooves on both sides, which not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the engine and braking system, but also makes the front of the car more combative, perfectly inheriting the aggressive design style of Lynk & Co's performance models.
The side lines of the car are smooth and powerful. The most eye-catching feature is the newly replaced 21-inch Lingfeng forged wheels. The lightweight forging process not only effectively reduces the vehicle's weight and improves handling flexibility, but also its unique multi-spoke design with matte black coating further enhances the sports atmosphere; inside the wheels, the yellow high-performance four-piston calipers are clearly visible. The bright yellow forms a strong visual contrast with the black wheels, which not only highlights its high-performance identity, but also implies its powerful braking performance, which can provide sufficient braking guarantee for intense driving. At the same time, the new car abandons the traditional door handle design and adopts semi-hidden door handles, which not only optimizes the integrity and aerodynamic performance of the side of the car, but also adds a touch of technology, which complements the car's sports and luxury positioning.
The rear of the vehicle is the finishing touch of the Lynk & Co 10+ and the core focus of netizens' discussions. The new car has comprehensively optimized the rear bumper, adopting a matte black diffuser design, paired with a bilateral four-outlet exhaust layout. The exhaust port is thick and powerful, which can instantly arouse the driver's desire to drive; the most stunning feature is the newly introduced wind-adjustable carbon fiber rear spoiler. The use of carbon fiber material not only reduces the vehicle's weight, but also endows the whole car with a strong performance texture. The adjustable design can flexibly adjust the angle of the spoiler according to different vehicle speeds and driving scenarios. It can provide sufficient downforce during high-speed driving to improve vehicle stability, and can be retracted during low-speed driving to balance the practicality and aesthetics of daily travel. This design is similar to the large rear wing of the Lynk & Co 03+, both focusing on aerodynamics and highlighting the performance essence. In addition, the new car also adds a Shadow Blue body color. The exclusive paint color paired with the sports kit further improves the recognition and exclusivity of the whole car.
In terms of configuration, the Lynk & Co 10+ has been fully upgraded while maintaining the advantages of the Lynk & Co 10 base model. The roof is still equipped with a lidar, which, together with multiple sensors around the car, provides sufficient hardware support for high-level intelligent driving; at the same time, the new car is equipped with the Thor U chip. This chip has a powerful computing power of 700 TOPS, which can greatly improve the vehicle's intelligent driving assistance capability, realize a more accurate and smooth full-scenario intelligent driving assistance experience, balance performance and intelligence, and break the inherent perception that high-performance models "prioritize handling over intelligence". In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 5050/1966/1468mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3005mm. The body size of a mid-to-large-sized sedan not only ensures sufficient interior riding space and storage space, but also provides a good foundation for the stability of the whole car. It is different from the compact sedan positioning of the Lynk & Co 03+, balancing performance and practicality.
In terms of power, the Lynk & Co 10+ has achieved a qualitative leap. The new car is upgraded to a 900V high-voltage architecture, adopts a four-wheel drive layout, and is equipped with front and rear dual motors. The comprehensive system power is as high as 680 kilowatts, equivalent to about 925 horsepower. Such power parameters are far beyond the Lynk & Co 03+, and even comparable to million-level high-performance sports cars, which can bring an extreme acceleration experience, perfectly interpreting the performance upgrade represented by the "+" suffix. For comparison, the Lynk & Co 03+ is equipped with a 2.0TD high-performance engine with a maximum power of 187Kw. Although it shocked the market back then, it has already widened the gap compared with the electrified high-performance power of the Lynk & Co 10+.
It is reported that the Lynk & Co 10 has previously completed the declaration with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In addition to the name change, the core changes focus on the update of the front and rear bumper designs, the replacement of semi-hidden door handles, and the upgrade of the electrified platform. As a performance version, the Lynk & Co 10+ further strengthens these advantages and is expected to be officially launched in the second quarter of this year. From the currently exposed information, the Lynk & Co 10+ has shown strong product strength in terms of design, configuration, and power. It not only inherits the performance genes of the Lynk & Co 03+, but also achieves a comprehensive breakthrough in the electrified era. Whether it can replicate the classic of the Lynk & Co 03+ back then and become a new performance benchmark of the Lynk & Co brand is worthy of the expectation of the market and consumers.
