Newly launched Chinese manufacturer Lynk&Co, an offshoot of Geely, has unveiled its new design concept at a launch event for the brand in Berlin.
 
The concept, which previews the car manufacturer’s future products, is a four-seat sedan with four gullwing doors and no B-pillars. It features similar design cues to the Lynk&Co 01, which was revealed alongside it in Berlin, including high headlights, a wide slash front and a wedge body shape.
 
Lynk&Co said despite the fact that this is the first concept to be shown by the brand, a sedan like this won’t arrive for some time. Company group executive and vice president Peter Horbury said a sedan will arrive after five other models, all of which are “already done”. While some of the design of the concept car will likely end up in the sixth production model, the concept’s first priority is to show that Lynk&Co’s design can be applied to several applications.
 
No technical information has been revealed, but Lynk&Co confirmed that the car’s floor uses carbonfibre in a new weave pattern. There’s also a 3D touchscreen infotainment system. "We'll have to do the bread-and-butter stuff first," said Horbury. "Then maybe there'll be time to have fun."
