It is an SUV, it comes from China and was designed in Sweden. Its peculiarity? Hiding a super hybrid propulsion under soft and sinuous lines. It’s called 08 and it’s the latest addition to Lynk & Co, a brand in the Geely galaxy, the Chinese giant that also owns Volvo and Lotus, among others. “This model was born during the pandemic, when working and moving between China and Europe was impossible,” says Stefan Rosen, President of Lynk & Co Design, whom we meet in Gothenburg at the Lynk & Co style center where about 500 people currently work. So we have been ingenious, we have enhanced technology and designed this model exclusively digitally. Our fear was that it might be soulless, well, it doesn’t. I saw the physical model after the game, the day before the presentation to the managerial team. It was exactly as we had thought of it even in real space: I felt a great emotion.”
