2026-08-10

In the world of football, loyalty is always the most touching anthem. On life’s journey, safeguard defines happiness at its finest. Recently, renowned Colombian footballer and former national‑team player Andrés Llinás visited GAC’s Bogotá Showroom 116 to officially receive the keys to GAC’s luxury all‑electric model, the HYPTEC HT, joining the GAC owner family. The rock‑solid defensive stalwart, fearless on the pitch, was full of praise behind the wheel of his new car: “It was truly love at first sight (Amor a primera vista)!”
