Lynk&Co has officially shown the 10+, a Chinese electric sedan that is trying very hard to look like the future and, annoyingly for its rivals, has the numbers to back it up. The car was previously sold as Z10, but the new badge comes with a headline-grabbing 912 hp, a 3.2-second sprint to 100 km/h, and record-fast charging times that make a lot of current EVs look tired.
Powertrain and performance figures
The 10+ uses two electric motors, one at the front and one at the rear, for a combined output of 912 hp. Lynk&Co says the sedan reaches 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, and that it already set a lap record at Asian Ridge Track, beating the Porsche Taycan GT. That is the sort of comparison Chinese brands love to make now: not ”good for the price,” but ”faster than a Porsche.” Subtlety is apparently for other people.
The drivetrain also uses an aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, which helps keep the total motor weight down to 75 kg while still delivering 93.7% efficiency. Full drive engagement takes 10 ms, and the anti-slip system reacts in 2 ms.
Battery sizes and charging speed
Battery tech is where the Lynk&Co 10+ really starts showing off. The standard 77 kWh pack charges from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes, while the larger 95 kWh battery goes from 10% to 70% in a little over 4 minutes. That is a proper shot across the bow for BYD, which still does not sell cars with this kind of charging claim.
This is also the part of the story that matters beyond the specs sheet: fast-charging bragging rights are becoming a main battleground for Chinese EV makers, not just range or horsepower. Geely’s brands have been leaning hard into that fight, and Lynk&Co is clearly being positioned as the sharp-elbowed sibling.
Dimensions, wheels and aero details
The sedan measures 5050 mm long and has a wheelbase of 3005 mm, so this is not some tiny hot hatch with a big battery and a loud marketing team. It rolls on 21-inch wheels and gets a carbon rear wing that changes position automatically with speed. The styling says ”premium EV coupe,” which is polite code for ”we want Tesla and Porsche customers to look twice.”
With the 10+ now officially presented in China, the open question is how far Lynk&Co plans to push this formula outside its home market. If the brand can turn these performance and charging claims into a car buyers can actually order widely, competitors will have to answer with more than press-release adjectives.
For now, Lynk&Co has done the easy part: make a lot of noise on paper and in photos. The harder test is whether the 10+ can convert record-style numbers into real-world momentum, because Chinese EV rivals are not exactly known for standing still.
