Lynk & Co 03 TCR Ehrlacher and Urrutia

At the 2025 FIA TCR World Tour’s Valencia leg, the Lynk & Co Cyan Racing team put on a strong show, finishing first and second in Race 3. Yann Ehrlacher was the top finisher on the podium, closely followed by teammate Santiago Urrutia.

Ehrlacher now leads the Drivers’ Championship with 152 points after winning his second race of the weekend. With 146 points, Urrutia is now in second place overall. The team’s impressive performance further increases their lead in the Teams’ Championship, as Lynk & Co Cyan Racing now has a lead of more than 100 points with 325 points overall.

Central to their success is the Lynk & Co 03 TCR, a race car known for its exceptional power and handling, strong cornering ability, and reliability under pressure. Designed specifically for touring car competitions, the 03 TCR has continuously proven itself as a competitive and consistent vehicle across various tracks, and Valencia was no exception.

Yann Ehrlacher

Reflecting on the weekend, Ehrlacher said it was the team’s most consistent and trouble-free performance so far this season. “It was quite a nice weekend for us. It is the first time we’ve had a weekend with no bad luck. I was happy with the pace and all the work the guys have done.”

Furthermore, Ehlacher also shared the challenges the drivers faced in the Valencia touring track, particularly the high temperature, but still conveyed his interest to return another time. “I think Valencia is a nice touring car track; it’s quite challenging for us drivers to put together a good lap and the high temperature didn’t make things very easy either. It was quite challenging, but hopefully we’ll come back here in the future.”

Urrutia, who crossed the line just behind Ehrlacher in second, was equally pleased with the outcome and expressed excitement for the Monza leg. “It has been very good. Congratulations to Cyan, we had a strong weekend, with Yann’s two wins, and my two podiums and a pole position. Strong points for the championship both for the drivers and the team, which is the main thing. I didn’t expect to be this quick this weekend. I was surprised first with the pole position and then I just did my weekend and tried to avoid contact. I’ve had so many DNFs in the past, so this year I plan to just finish whatever position I can take. So far so good, it’s only six races, and now we go to Monza, a track I really like.”

Lynk & Co 03 TCR Ehrlacher

With six rounds completed, Lynk & Co Cyan Racing continues to prove its strength on the race track with consistent top finishes and teamwork. The next race will take place at the Monza circuit in Italy on June 20-22, 2025 where the team will look to carry their momentum forward in the championship fight.

There’s a fun contrast in Small Laude’s name—what sounds “small” is anything but when it comes to her bold personality and massive online following. That contrast is echoed in her latest move: stepping into the driver’s seat in a big way with the Lynk & Co 06, a crossover SUV that perfectly matches her vibrant and dynamic persona.

A standout in the Philippine social media scene, Small Laude is known for blending sophistication with humor and authenticity, all wrapped in her signature unfiltered style. She’s effortlessly glamorous and down-to-earth—qualities that are mirrored in the Lynk & Co 06, a vehicle that boasts striking looks, a luxurious interior, and refined Swedish design and engineering throughout.

“This partnership with Lynk & Co feels so aligned with who I am and what I love,” Small Laude shares. “When I first saw the 06 in Pastel Lilac, I was like, ‘Okay, this is me.’ It’s chic, spacious, and super techie… but not intimidating! Which is why I got my own unit! And after spending more time with it, I love the comfortable seats and all these smart features that make life easier. As someone who gets really busy with managing my business, while doing vlogs on the side, it’s my happy little bubble on wheels.”

“Distinctly Dynamic” in both form and function, the Lynk & Co 06 pairs bold design with top notch driving and safety features. It is equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission that delivers 181Ps and 290Nm of torque, balancing performance and efficiency. Inside, the car’s 12.3” HD touchscreen infotainment system is ergonomically designed for easy operation, while wireless charging ditches the cable chaos.

Safety also takes the front seat with features like a 360° panoramic camera with 180° transparent chassis view; blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning, among the 06’s standout ADAS features.

And now, the 06 just became more accessible with a new 06 Origin SE, which is now available for as low as Php 1,099,000. The same upscale distinction and premium quality now comes at a more attainable price point, making this Swedish-designed ride more accessible to the Filipino market.

“When Small Laude shows up, there’s nothing ‘small’ about it. She’s unapologetically herself; she’s sophisticated yet playful, accessible yet aspirational, and that’s exactly the kind of energy we generate at Lynk & Co,” says Lynk & Co Philippines Brand Head Franz Decloedt. “With Small Laude behind the wheel of the 06 SUV, we are primed to enter an exciting new chapter for Lynk & Co Philippines as we continue to connect and collaborate with more Filipinos.”

Decloedt continues: “We invite everyone to get linked and connected with us. Watch the Lynk & Co space closely, because we’re cooking up even more things to get you excited. More unexpected moments are coming, and with Small Laude stepping into the Lynk & Co world, the road just got a lot more fabulous.”

The weekend event highlighted circuit races, GR driving exhibitions,
Tamaraw Racing Concept debut, car community meetups, musical entertainment, and more

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has wrapped up the second of three Race Weekends for the 2025 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup (TGR Philippine Cup). This top motorsports event attracted over 12,000 attendees who enjoyed exciting racing and driving activities on the streets from May 23 to 25 in Villar City, located just south of Manila.

Racers competed head-to-head across four categories — Novice, Sporting, Super Sporting, and Legacy — in three circuit races held over the weekend on a 2.4km temporary street track. The course featured 14 corners, including two hairpin turns and six chicanes, delivering thrilling action for the fans.

TMP President Masando Hashimoto, who races for the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippines Novice Team, shook the crowd in the last laps of the Novice Class circuit race when he hit the barriers and overturned. He was able to evacuate his Vios one-make-race (OMR) car promptly and came out of the incident without any injuries.

“My car flipped upside down and became immobilized. While the tires and engine sustained significant damage from the impact, the cabin remained intact and completely clear, allowing me to escape without even a scratch. I lost my beloved Vios #4, but it saved my life. We racers experience crashes all the time, many times, which is part of racing, but I have seen first-hand the wonderful fact that Toyota cars are safe, robust and keep the drivers protected,” President Hashimoto shared.

TMP has been utilizing the Vios OMR especially converted for the TGR Philippine Cup (previously Vios Cup) for 11 years now, where it has been subjected to various racing conditions both in permanent and street circuits. It has been modified to fit racing standards, which includes the installation of a roll cage and racing seat with 5-point seat belts to ensure the safety of the racer. Racers are also equipped with fireproof racing suits, gloves and helmets with Head and Neck Support (HANS) devices.

Toyota also applies the same safety standards to its road cars with safety features such as Toyota Safety Sense, airbags and various control systems.

TGR, TMP’s motorsports arm, has been committed to ‘pushing the limits for better’ through vehicle development in controlled environments. The TGR Philippine Cup, moreover, is conducted under the supervision of the Automobile Association Philippines to ensure the racetrack is compliant with safety standards.

President Hashimoto continues, “Toyota Global Chairman Akio Toyoda always emphasizes the importance of ‘driving, breaking, and fixing’ in vehicle development. By repeatedly driving and breaking cars in the race environment, he discovers further areas for improvement and strengthens the cars as a master driver. Based on this corporate mantra, Toyota will continue to pursue safer vehicle manufacturing and accessible racing in the future.”

The Tamaraw Racing Concept, a modified Tamaraw Dropside, also made its debut during the race weekend as the showcase vehicle during the Drag Race Exhibition. The concept vehicle underlines Toyota’s dedication to creating exciting cars through continuous testing on the track.

Eventgoers were also treated to free musical performances by OPM rock stars Rico Blanco and Parokya ni Edgar on May 24, and Ely Buendia and Bamboo on May 25.

Below is the full list of official winners of Race Weekend 2:

Lynk & Co 900 has received over 40,000 pre-orders ahead of its official global launch on April 28

At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, Lynk & Co. formally presented its much awaited 900 luxury hybrid SUV, revealing the future of high-end, executive SUVs. On April 23, 2025, United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI), the official distributor of Lynk & Co. in the Philippines, invited a select group of the nation’s leading bank partners, top motoring journalists, and Lynk & Co dealer principals to witness its worldwide debut. This action highlights the Philippine market’s increasing significance for the cutting-edge automaker.

The Lynk & Co 900 is a luxury SUV that is plug-in hybrid and has been painstakingly designed for families that want a high-end driving experience without sacrificing modern technology, space, or versatility. The 900, a new energy vehicle (NEV), complements the global trend toward sustainable mobility by providing discriminating consumers with a potent yet environmentally responsible choice. Its design language radiates contemporary sophistication and a strong road presence, and its six-seater arrangement guarantees enough of space for the whole family.

The global anticipation for the Lynk & Co 900 is palpable, as evidenced by the remarkable number of pre-orders received even before its official market launch.

The Lynk & Co 900 has already received over 40,000 pre-orders ahead of its official launch on April 28. Built on the SPA (Scalable Platform Architecture) Evo architecture, the six-seater combines class-leading 88.2% space efficiency with innovative 180-degree rotating second-row seats, targeting premium family buyers seeking versatile cabin configurations. The intelligent cockpit features front and rear 30-inch 6K displays driven by dual Qualcomm 8295 chips, delivering 60 TOPS computing power for eight-screen coordination via the LYNK Fly Me Auto system. Powering the SUV is a 2.0T plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain with 3-speed DHT Pro transmission and dual rear motors, generating 650kW total output to achieve 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.3 seconds – positioning the 900 as one of the fastest electrified SUVs in its segment, and with a pure electric range of around 270km.

UAAGI’s attendance at the Shanghai global launch demonstrates Lynk & Co Philippines’ strong dedication to staying up to date with the brand’s most recent international launches and trends.

Introducing the Lynk & Co 02: A Premium, Sporty e-SUV

Lynk & Co’s first fully electric vehicle: The 02 E-SUV showcased at the Lynk & Co Urban Playground

The main highlight at the Lynk & Co Urban Playground is the launch of the much-anticipated Lynk & Co 02: a premium, sporty, e-SUV, and Lynk & Co Philippines’ first fully electric vehicle offering. This sleek and attractive coupe fastback is set to challenge the local EV market with its exceptional product specifications, sporty driving dynamics, refined interior and finishings, and ergonomic European design.

The Lynk & Co 02 boasts a long driving range of 435 km (WLTP) on a full charge, and can charge from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Its powerful electric motor propels it from 0-100 kph in a mere 5.5 seconds thanks to a 272Ps and 343 Nm of torque. The 02’s aerodynamic design, with a drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd thanks to 13 drag-reduction optimizations, enhances battery efficiency and extends its range.

The 02’s exterior showcases Lynk & Co’s new “The Next Day” design language, complete with Dynamic Day Rays LED Daytime Running Lights, Megacity Horizon LED Tail Lights, and a Black Diamond Panoramic, UV Coated, Glass Roof. Inside, the 02 offers seats made from recycled PET plastic, and features Wireless Apple CarPlay (wireless Android Auto available June 2025.)

Just like all Lynk & Co models safety is paramount. A 540-degree all around view camera and 16-point ADAS with both passive and active safety complements comply with stringent safety and collision standards. The Lynk & Co 02 comes with a 150,000 km or 5-year vehicle warranty, whichever comes first.

The Lynk & Co 02 Premium Sporty E-SUV price starts at Php 1,788,000.00, offering a compelling value proposition, delivering premium features, technology, and design without the premium price tag of other luxury brands.
