The front end of the Lynk & Co 01 has a layered look that might not appeal to everyone.

The Lynk & Co 01 is promised to hit Chinese roads later this year.

Lynk & Co is still working out the particulars of its "lifetime warranty" promise.

Bubble-top headlamps, all the better to see potential car-sharers with.

Inverted L-shaped headlamps may become a Lynk & Co design trademark.

There's more than hint of Kia Sportage in the 01's appearance, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

For a brand-new automaker, Lynk & Co already seems to have its family styling cues nailed down.

The 01 is expected to arrive powered by a 1.5-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor assist.

The 01 will come one way: Fully loaded, with no options outside of color choice.

The 01 will come standard with built-in carsharing technology which uses app-based e-keys.

Eventually, a plug-in hybrid and pure-electric 01 are expected.

Apparently the future of carsharing and car ownership is moody.

Lynk & Co hopes to radically overhaul today's car-selling model, including small company-owned stores and pop-ups, no haggle pricing and service pick-up and delivery.

The 01 is scheduled to go on sale in its home Chinese market later this year and hit the market in the US and Europe about a year later.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
