The BYD Yangwang U9 is not for sale: today called Chinex. Take a second to imagine a sleek and electrically-powered breadbox that can pull you towards full tilt with an electric burst. (63 words)
Revolutionary Powertrain And Performance
And it has four 150-kW drives installed to let the standard table grow as high as 200 mph depending on tire and gearing selection.
The starting updates center around U9 Xtreme, a strictly track-focused limited edition-only 30 units. The edition holds its 1,200V platform, which sees the engines spin up to 30,000 rpm power-generating masses of almost 3,000 horsepower.
Xtreme, for instance, reached a verified 496.22 km/h top speed in September 2025 and held the Univolter heart to conquer those nerves [sic]. To further illustrate, it went around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes and 59.157 seconds, providing for the first true EV trip under seven minutes.
The Magic Of DiSus-X Suspension
BYD’s DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System defines the U9. This elaborate hydraulic setup can lift the suspension to a maximum of 75 mm and can exert a lift of over one ton of force per axle.
And so the car holds its ground on one wheel! By itself, the car, then, stands on three wheels.
Rather than sports cars, the increased control during tire failures is of assistance to drivers’ safety, with unmatched capability on or off-duty.
Design And Interior Luxury
Key executed by newly employed Wolfgang Egger offers sharp lines, detachable doors, and an array of carbon fiber to help in lightweighting and aero. The interior is driver-pleasing. One of the screens in the cabin, woven with luxurious materials Italian-style, is where the futuristic concept begins.
Green was added lately as an option in respect of Nurburgring victories.
Performance meets luxury in the synonymous manner of two-seaters and one-of-a-kind.
