Set to compete in Formula E, the EQ Silver Arrow 01 is an electric race car that will help to promote electric vehicles such as the EQC crossover.

The Lynk & Co 01 will be manufactured in China, but Geely says it will be sold in high volumes in Europe and the United States.

As such, the model will always be connected to the internet and the cloud and once it hits the market, feature an open application programming interface which will allow developers to add their own ideas to the car. Additionally, owners will be able to share their 01 with others when they don't need it and have the ability to monitor their car from a smartphone.  While it has been confirmed that the 01 will feature the same modular architecture as the upcoming XC40, no engine details ha...
