Lynk & Co 03+ TCR track car sells out at launch, for 192,000 USD in China
The Chinese automaker Lynk & Co, backed by Geely, announced on Weibo that the first batch of orders for its newly launched Lynk & Co 03+ TCR racing model has sold out. The vehicle is priced at 1.40 million yuan (approximately 192,000 USD) with a deposit of 280,000 yuan (approximately 38,400 USD). The 03+ TCR is the first mass-produced TCR-spec touring car developed entirely by a Chinese brand.
For comparison, the 2026 Lynk & Co 03 family is priced between 121,800 yuan and 420,300 yuan (approximately 16,700–57,500 USD).
The sale was confirmed during the “CO Customer” conference on December 6, 2025, where Lynk & Co announced the official launch of the 03+ TCR. Purchasers of the car receive a package including a 40,000 yuan (approximately 5,500 USD) “Champion Driver Masterclass,” which provides two hours of track instruction, guidance from championship drivers, and basic track technician support, valid for one year from the date of delivery.
Additionally, buyers receive a “Race Support Package” that provides one engineer and one technician for TCR China and CTCC China Cup events, covering six race weekends per year. The car is strictly designed for closed-track use and is not permitted on public roads.
The 03+ TCR is based on the production version of the third-generation Lynk & Co 03 sedan, featuring a racing-oriented widebody design and an exclusive red-dominant livery. Its chassis conforms to TCR regulations and is intended for both sprint-style and endurance competitions. The powertrain employs a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder Drive-E T6 engine, upgraded with enhanced cooling components, a new turbocharger, and recalibrated engine mapping to optimise straight-line performance.
The tuned engine delivers a peak output of 345.2 hp and 420 Nm of torque. Gearbox duties are handled by an Xtrac 1046 six-speed sequential transmission with paddle-shift operation. The target vehicle weight, including driver, is 1,265 kilograms.
To meet the dynamic and safety demands of racing, the 03+ TCR is equipped with six-piston front callipers paired with 380 mm ventilated discs and two-piston rear callipers with 290 mm discs. A newly designed Gen3 aerodynamic kit includes a large front splitter, fixed rear wing, and widened bodywork. The interior features racing bucket seats, a roll cage, and other motorsport-standard safety fittings.
The manufacturer indicated that while the 03+ TCR will initially campaign in sprint-style track competitions, it is also intended for future expansion into endurance racing formats, including potential participation in events such as the Nürburgring 24-hour race.
