Lynk & Co
has been out of the news for a while but is hard at work on its new
battery-electric sedan dubbed the Zero. A handful of teasers have just been
released of the car, showing it being tested on the mountain roads in China’s Anhui
Province.
These
images show the Zero will adopt a sleek, fastback-style design not dissimilar
to the 07 EM-P PHEV that the Chinese brand is also
developing. By peeking through the red and black camouflage, we can see sharp
LED headlights shaped like talons as well as a think LED light bar connecting
them. The bumper appears free of superfluous intakes or angles and includes a
wide grille at its base.
Underpinning
the new Lynk & Co Zero will be the Sustainable
Experience Architecture as the Zeekr 001 and it’ll also include the same
800-volt electric architecture. With this in mind, it’ll be similar in
dimensions to the Zeekr, sitting roughly 5 meters (~197 inches) long and 2
meters (~79 inches) wide with a ~3-meter (~118-inch) wheelbase. This also means
it’ll be almost identical in size to the Lotus Emeya sedan, another electric sedan
from Geely.
Given that
the Zero will use an identical platform to the Zeekr 001, it could be offered with similar
powertrains. This could mean a standard model with as much as 778 hp and a
performance model with the same 1,248 hp as the 001 FR. Such figures would make
this one of the quickest sedans on the planet. It would also give it a 300 hp+
edge over the Emeya.
The car
manufacturer hasn’t released any photos of the Zero’s interior but some spy
shots have been snapped in recent months. They show the latest Lynk & Co
product will come with a narrow digital instrument cluster and a large
infotainment display in the center of the dash, as well as a flat-bottom
steering wheel.
