Lynk & Co, the Chinese-Swedish automobile brand, has officially launched in Saudi Arabia, bringing a range of products including the 03, 03+, 01, and 05 models, and opening its first local showroom in Dammam on May 22, 2023.
At the launch event, Lynk & Co's Director, Mr. Fred Shang, expressed confidence in the brand's unique approach and its resonance with the Saudi Arabian market. Lynk & Co cars will be distributed in Saudi Arabia through Al Jabr, whose Managing Director, Mr. Abdulsalm Mohammad Al-Jabr, acknowledged the alignment of Lynk & Co with luxury, quality, and the market's needs.
The launch event showcased Lynk & Co's product range, including the 03, 03+, 01, and 05 models, all built on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform. The 03 and the 03+ are the pioneering works in the sport sedan category and serve as the championship cars that contributed to Lynk & Co's three consecutive titles in the prestigious WTCR racing series, while the 01 was the official vehicle of the Olympic Council of Asia in 2021. A year later, the Lynk & Co 05 began gaining popularity in the Asia-Pacific market. Additionally, it is anticipated that the flagship model, Lynk & Co 09, will launch in the Middle East later this year.
The Lynk & Co Center in Dammam is located near King Fahd Road, a major transportation route connecting Dammam and Al Khobar. Surrounded by numerous car brand showrooms and government offices, the center offers convenient access to the bustling commercial district and the largest port in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. In addition to the prominent display of Lynk & Co models, the spacious showroom also includes relaxation areas where people can mingle comfortably, as well as merchandise from the brand’s own Lynk & Co Collection.
The opening of the Lynk & Co Center in Dammam marks the first Lynk & Co center in Saudi Arabia. The brand is also expanding to other locations in the Middle East, with upcoming showrooms in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as well as Muscat, Oman.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
