Can the Lynk & Co 03 Outrun the Civic?

The Lynk & Co 03 can outrun the Civic. Here are the relevant details about the Lynk & Co 03: Exterior: In terms of exterior design, the Lynk & Co 03's 'Wind-Riding Design' is a fusion of the brand's 'Urban Contrast Aesthetics' family design philosophy and aerodynamic design. It largely retains the Lynk & Co family design style, featuring split-type headlights, a horizontal front grille, and lower trim accents. The side profile maintains the classic three-box sedan silhouette with smooth C-pillar lines, while the rear sports 'L'-shaped taillights and a black decorative panel integrating reflectors. Powertrain: The Lynk & Co 03 is a high-style sedan from the brand, which has gained immense popularity among young consumers since its launch. The car boasts strong performance, equipped with three turbocharged engine options: a low-power 1.5L turbocharged engine, a high-power 1.5L turbocharged engine, and a 2.0L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L engines are both three-cylinder units.
I remember driving these two cars at a track day last year. The Civic does feel more nimble off the line, but the high-power version of the Lynk & Co 03 has more abundant power reserves. In terms of numbers, the 03+'s 2.0T engine delivers 254 horsepower, significantly stronger than the Civic 220TURBO's 177 horsepower, providing a more sustained push-back feeling during acceleration. The tightness of the 03's chassis in corners is a big plus, making it feel like it's glued to the track, while the Civic's rear end is a bit more lively. However, for daily driving, the Civic's transmission tuning is smoother, whereas the 03 occasionally hesitates at low speeds. If it's for mountain roads or track driving, I'd choose the 03, but the Civic has greater modification potential. By the way, the tire configurations of these two cars are quite different, and the original tires play a crucial role in performance.
