A mysterious new concept sedan from China's Lynk
& Co with scissor-style front and rear doors has emerged on the internet.
Other than these pictures taken by Fredrik Etoall for Lynk & Co and
published by Adamsky Management, which show the unnamed vehicle from multiple
angles, we have nothing else on the car.
If this is the
blueprint for the 02 Sedan, then the production car will only keep some vague
styling features, as if you look at those spy images with the 02 Sedan from
last week, you can see that the proportions are different and that the
prototype isn't nearly as muscular as this concept.
The prototype seems to have a headlights-on-fenders
design it borrowed from the 01 SUV, and while the concept does too, but we
doubt the real thing will look as streamlined. As for those doors (sort of a
gull-wing & suicide door combo) and that futuristic interior, again don't
expect any of that stuff to end up in production - especially the doors.
We might have felt differently if the 02 Sedan was
going to be an all-electric model, aimed at buyers who can afford to pay for
such futuristic exterior and interior features. The sedan might be getting a 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol unit,
alongside a small electric motor.
As for the other scenario, while the Lynk & Co
02 Sedan might not look anything like this concept, there's still a chance the
Chinese automaker builds something that will. We're saying this because they've
already announced that aside from the 01 and 02 models, there will also be the
"03". Then again, the 03 could just be a hatchback, as some reports suggested.
