On December 30, the 2022 Guangzhou International Auto Show finally opened smoothly. This is the only A-level auto show successfully held in China this year since the cancellation of the Beijing Auto Show and the sudden suspension of the Chengdu Auto Show for three days.

由于疫情刚刚进入收尾期，初步放开以来很多人陆续变“阳”，因此今年的广州车展依旧开得有点艰难。除了很多汽车品牌都以经销商参展为主之外，广州以外的媒体也大多没能前往，智驾网也首次全员缺席了本届车展。

不过，这并不影响广州车展的推进，在即将跨年的阶段，汽车产业需要这样一场展会来为车市点燃“一把火”。而人头攒动的展会现场，也让人对新年的车市有了更多的信心和期待。

与此同时，不少品牌也在本届车展上推出了关注度较高的新车型，它们将对2023年中国车市的开启贡献一份推动力。

林肯The Lincoln Star

The Lincoln Star是林肯推出的首款纯电动概念车，它融合了林肯品牌设计DNA的“天成之美”、“翱翔之翼”、“人性之本”和“内在之境”四大维度，通过由内至外的全新设计，演绎了林肯产品设计语言在电气化时代的进化。

得益于支持后驱及四驱布局的纯电可拓展架构及下一代林肯智联系统（Lincoln Intelligence System）的应用，The Lincoln Star概念车通过全新林肯智联系统，将“数字助理”的功能性提升至全新高度，它不仅可以实现车与车及车与基础设施之间的互联互通，还拥有下一代领先的智能驾驶辅助功能。

座舱内，The Lincoln Star摒弃三排座椅布局，前后排均配备宽敞的环抱式独立座椅，并采用如同头等舱休息室的半躺坐姿和独立腿托，专属的储物空间可以用来放置电子设备或拖鞋。焕活舒享模式的控制面板以及由晶透玻璃材质打造的豪华酒柜集成于后排座椅之间。不论在车内或是车外，都能欣赏到点缀在车辆前挡A柱区域和后窗D柱区域的3D打印金属网格状饰板，进一步拓展了车内敞阔的空间感。

It is reported that the three rejuvenating comfort modes of The Lincoln Star will cooperate with the Lincoln Embrace welcome sensor system to control the sound effects, fragrance and ambient lights of the entire cockpit, and the high definition animation and symphonic melody on the screen will be intertwined to immerse customers in the digital "inner state".

Concentration ROBO-02

The second car robot of Jidu showcased its appearance design for the first time in the form of a display car. The model is a pure electric coupe and is named ROBO-02.

The ROBO-02 features an ultra-sporty futuristic robotic exterior design. It has no exterior door handle to make technology and appearance online. It has the ultimate dynamic vehicle ratio and super sexy body surface. Equipped with the most integrated smart headlights in the industry, the lamp integrates interactive AI pixel lights, far and near light/steering/dayline/position lights, and hidden lidar. Aerodynamic wheels and active lift rear wings further enhance the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, creating an industry-leading ultra-low drag coefficient.

Jidu full-stack application of Baidu Apollo high-order autonomous driving full set of capabilities and safety system, and according to the user’s high-order intelligent driving needs in more scenarios, the two sides jointly reintegrate and develop Apollo capabilities to realize the high-order intelligent driving experience of the user’s car scene. Jidu has taken the lead in applying Baidu ANP3.0 capabilities. On this basis, the two parties jointly developed the Jidu high-order intelligent driving system. In the future, ROBO-02 will also bring users high-order intelligent driving experience in multiple scenarios. At the same time, Jidu will also tailor the ROBO-02 to provide stronger intelligent functions for scene-based services.

Ian Hyper GT

At the show, Aian introduced the Hyper GT, the second model of the Haobo brand. Aian defines the Hyper GT as an Ace model, designed for "young and promising" people.

The Hyper GT has a drag coefficient as low as 0.19Cd. Previously, the Tesla Model S Plaid’s drag coefficient of 0.208 Cd was already eye-catching, and Aian directly pulled this value to within 0.2Cd, making it "the lowest drag coefficient in the history of production cars".

From the appearance and shape, the Hyper GT has smooth lines, like liquid metal droplets flowing at high speed in a hurricane. The seven wings composed of rotor, grille and tail are very recognizable.

Among them, the wind blade grille can be flexibly enabled, closing at low speed to make the front of the car seamless, reducing wind resistance, and opening at high speed to shunt the wind to ensure performance output. The tail is equipped with a wind-hidden tail, and the hidden bracket design makes the tail have a sci-fi feel suspended on the body. The downforce provided when raised allows the tires to grip more firmly and improve handling.

In terms of performance, the Hyper GT is built on the AEP 3.0 platform. With a rear-drive configuration, it can achieve zero-hundred acceleration in 4 seconds. Large-sized brake discs can achieve a braking distance of 100 kilometers less than 35m.

Hyper GT is equipped with AICS intelligent chassis technology. According to the data released by Aian, its steering sensitivity and accuracy are 30% higher than those in the industry, and the turning radius is less than 5.3 meters, reaching the lowest level in the same class.

Coupled with advanced VDC2.0 technology, it can anticipate the risks caused by changes in road adhesion at an extremely fast reaction speed, and reduce the signal transmission time from 100 milliseconds to 7-8 milliseconds, shortening more than 10 times, which can achieve the world’s top "instantaneous response" and greatly improve the stability of the vehicle. Even in the face of five hairpin bends and ice drift, it can easily cope.

In terms of intelligent driving performance, Hyper GT adopts Fengyun III infrared remote sensing technology + 3 second-generation zoom lidar sensor configurations, which not only allows Hyper GT to accurately anticipate road conditions and obstacles, but also further cover extreme scenes such as rain, fog, sand and dust weather, and night travel.

The configuration of the three lidars is indeed not inferior to the models that have been announced so far. Ai’an said that the smart driving ability of the Hyper GT can be seen at a glance even at night as well as during the day, without obstacles.
