Donut Media brought me here! This is now my dream car. It's perfect in every aspect for me. The fact that it can be tuned to 528 hp reliably is AMAZING. Really solid review man!
Consider it’s price at 250k Yuan which is roughly 35K USD I say it not a good deal u could get much better cars used for 35k and tuning is almost impossible for this model because there is so little info on them and literally no aftermarket company has any tuning plans for the car. The 500hp one was probably done Cyan racing which they did use it to win WTCR but as a regular individual this car would not be possible to get to 500 hp without some serious Cash
This car looks like the designer has been stacking up all of the designs he made since his childhood and finally got to design a car. But he only has one chance to design a car so he mashed every single design aspects into this one car
Kinda hard to be stopped when it was never offered. Next talk of Lynk & Co pushing into the US market is based on the 01 CUV via Volvo’s dealership system. It’s success or failure is more likely to be based on trade tariffs. National security only comes into play on communications technology or duel role. Since most civilian cars outside of James Bond films don’t fire missiles or are not being used to build 5G wireless networks. It will come down to trade.
@@alternatr Wake up, China is the world's largest producer and seller of cars. It's a cheap car, it comes with a lifetime warranty and many owners of this brand have been driving it for more than a decade and the specs are the best in the price range
I'd say your title described this car pretty accurately, It's a sporty sedan, not a performance car. A cousin of mine bought one last year and sold it in 5 months. Many people considered it as the first performance car of China. But I don't think so. The safely tuned Volvo engine and the small brakes explained everything. I described it as a part-time awd Civic Si or Focus ST or Lancer Ralliart to my foreign friends. It's not at the performance car level as a Type R, an RS or an EVO. There‘s a rumor that they will make a 350+hp version of the 03 maybe with the 2022 facelift. With better brakes and stiffer suspension, it will be our 03 EVO or 03 Type R, and I will definitely get one.
at first I dont really like how the front look, but after awhile i start to like it a bit more because its so different. would love to have one of these but in a different color
I think it's hilarious that this uses a Borg Warner driveline while the mustang uses a Chinese Getrag 6 speed the self distructs even if the BW stuff may be made in China, too.
@@Shiinamusiclyricssubs Next decade is gonna be crazy yea, wanna know why? All car manufacturers are making sure that the ICE era goes out with a bang, this decade is the last decade for ICE vehicles until theyre banned in most of Europe (2026 in Norway and Sweden, 2032 in Germany i believe and 2042 for the rest of Europe).
When I was young, I sit in a car and I memorize all the car brands. But today, being Chinese, I would be asking,"What car is that?!" "Who made it?!" "We did?!" "Never heard of that brand!" There are so many new brands and car models coming out! 🤪
Yea , though its a pretty unique design with the headlights and i like the overall design for a compact sedan especially. I wish they made a version without the top headlights just so we can see how cool it looks.
I had the privilege of test driving the Lynk & Co SUV probably 100 hours over 2 months on all terrain, up to 125mph on 2 mile oval track - nice vehicle... the poor man's Volvo if you like ;-}
I must admit, I had no idea what this was until I saw it win the FIA World Touring Car Cup championship last year. The company is a little bit mad (in a good way) as mentioned in the video. For example, they are planning a road going 03 Cyan super saloon which weighs below 1300kg, 190+ top speed with a 2.0 4 cylinder with 530bhp Front Wheel Drive and an 8k rev limit. Madness but I love it.
But I want the 592 hp 2L 4cyl 03 they ran on The Ring 👍👍👍👍 I guess it's detuned to 528hp for the road but that would be sooo much fun! 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds Fwd?! Yes please
I feel like the if that 3rd tier was left out the car would be extremely attractive. Also I really like your type of car showcase, it’s quick but still shows the vehicle and it’s features off while getting to see it in action. Good video.
That Charger inspired grill with Juke headlights and VW lower bumper. It looks like an Impreza sedan with rear Audi tail lights and Corolla inspired rear . It’s everything
The naming looks like a Smart phone. If you just look at the name you'll think is another Chinese branded phone. But I already know this from watching a WTC Championship as they've started joining the competition last year and they're winning as well. I told myself "WHAT MADE IS THIS CAR? It's not the traditional car brand competing in this annual competition.
To be honest it's quite interesting what's going on in China's automotive industry. Thanks for the content gives one a new perspective on things. Have to say that one weird looking ride.
I like it. Reminiscent of Japanese design, yet uniquely Chinese. I like things that are different.. It has nice exterior angles and the interior seems like it would be a fun and comfortable place to be. Not surprised if it's a good car.. using Volvo's technology. And for those saying they steal from Volvo.. it's actually the antithesis of stealing.. they paid for it, own it, and are rightfully using it! All the while they're letting Volvo do its thing, and remain independent. This is the way it SHOULD be done. Well done!
first laid eyes on it when I saw it in a WTCC race. interior design looks like a running shoe. exterior looks like someone took six shots of rice wine and tried to draw a KIA with one eye closed. it may be fast af and win touring car races but it's not enough for me to consider chinese cars legit.
Wow! I like to see video with cars I never know before! That car look intresting and also look good quality! I didn't notice If you say the price in China for this! Nice video, big like!!!
I'm glad to see someone knows how to style a car uniquely beautiful. Want one of these. Well now I know what to spend my money on if I win the lotto 🤣 time to go car shopping in china.

and the "EVERYTHING..." interior 😂😂😂😂
at first I dont really like how the front look, but after awhile i start to like it a bit more because its so different. would love to have one of these but in a different color
I like how the external trim has labels on them like downforce components. It's like as if they forgot to remove the part stickers from a flatpack.
I think the conversation about the material actually might have been like,
Supplier"What material and how much"
Geely"Yes"

Different for the sake of being different is literally stupidity

the Mustang is probably as confused as you are when going neck to neck against it.
Its Outrageous, it's crazy, its excessive. I want one!
When.... Porsche, Charger, Mustang, Scion, and Audi baby was a result from a nuclear catastrophe.....
As long as it has something with Chinese. It must copy from some one some where some how. As long as some remote resemblance, it is copy. Terrefic!
Clearly it's own weird thing. I hope they keep getting wierd.
Lol then I could say the lastest gen Sclass interior copied Nio's ES8 lol

This is about the 8th video I've seen from Wheelsboy and I'm impressed by the excellent writing.

its uggo

Not too bad looking as a road car. I first saw this racing in WTCR and holy hell it looks cool (its also doing very well)
Hope they can have the wtcr blue for 03+
