Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan Edition: the sporty Chinese saloon developed in Europe and born from success

Lynk & Co, the brand of Asian giant Geely, has just shown us its latest masterpiece to celebrate the three consecutive titles of the World Touring Car Cup (WTCC). A saloon with great sporting character, developed in the old continent, and developed by none other than Cyan Racing, or better known as Polestar.

If we look at its exterior colour, we quickly realise that the heritage of Polestar is there. The brand’s distinctive smurf blue colour dominates this handsome four-door saloon, which measures 4.95 metres long. It certainly draws a lot of attention thanks to several elements that give it a truly radical design.

Radiating sportiness

This new sporty variant features a body kit that includes specific bumpers, more sporty side skirts and a rear diffuser which, together with the four exhaust outlets and the enormous spoiler, complete the key elements that give this sports car so much personality.

The Polestar blue gains sportiness thanks to the use of black on several elements along the bodywork, such as the roof, door handles, diffuser, front splitter and side skirts, as well as the striking Cyan Racing 5-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres and hiding a braking system signed by Akebono with yellow brake calipers. In addition to the brakes, Bilstein adjustable dampers have also been fitted to improve dynamic handling.

Inside, Lynk & Co has fitted sports seats upholstered in black, with the Cyan logo embroidered on the backrests, and seatbelts, stitching and edging in the same yellow as the brake calipers mentioned above.

Outstanding performance

Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 265 CV and 380 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed sequential gearbox and all-wheel drive, reaching 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds. A fairly good figure considering this is a 265 CV saloon.

Production of this Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan Edition will be limited and, for the time being, available only in the Chinese market, although Lynk & Co plans to arrive in Europe before long, positioning itself as a leading brand with a strong emotional appeal behind it.
