Geely, the Chinese automaker known for its sporty and youthful brand, is set to unveil a new prototype at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show. The model, named the GS-prototype, is designed with a focus on enhancing Geely's performance in the sportscar market.

The design of the GS-prototype, while still under development, has been described as appealing, albeit a bit messy in its current form. The front of the vehicle showcases a unique design, featuring an air intake before the rear-wheels and vents under the rear lights. The colour scheme of the GS-prototype is reminiscent of the first officially released pictures of the new S60 from Volvo.

The engine of the GS-prototype is yet to be confirmed, but it's speculated that it could be the 3.0 litre 304 bhp 6-cylinder engine from Volvo. The engine will be located in the front of the vehicle.

The GS-prototype is part of Geely's collaboration with Renault and Zhejiang Geely Holding Group through the HORSE project. This joint venture focuses on developing and manufacturing internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, and more. It's possible that the motor for the GS-prototype could be produced through this project.

While the exact release date for the GS-prototype has not been specified, it's clear that Geely is eager to make a mark in the sportscar market. The company's previous attempt with the Beauty Leopard did not yield significant sales success.

Meanwhile, Geely has already launched the Geely Galaxy Starshine 6 EM-i, which debuted with the Thor EM-i super hybrid system. This model offers a 125 km electric range in China. The Geely Galaxy Starshine 8 PHEV has also been introduced. However, the brand association for the Geely Galaxy Starshine models has not been mentioned in the article.

As for the GS-prototype, while some design elements may change slightly before production, it's expected to maintain its sporty and youthful aesthetic that aligns with the GLEagle brand. The GS-prototype is set to make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show, marking an exciting new chapter for Geely in the sportscar market.
