“The Yangwang U9 represents a new era of electric sports cars, combining cutting-edge technology with exhilarating performance,” stated a BYD spokesperson during the launch event.

The Yangwang U9 boasts an astonishing power output of 960 kW (1,287 hp) and a torque of 1,632 Nm (1,204 lb-ft), setting it apart as a formidable contender in the world of electric vehicles. This immense power, generated by four electric motors, propels the car from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a mere 2.36 seconds, surpassing benchmarks set by renowned supercars such as the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport.

“BYD’s commitment to innovation and performance is evident in the Yangwang U9’s exceptional acceleration capabilities,” remarked a automotive expert during a test drive of the electric sports car.

Equipped with BYD’s revolutionary Blade battery, capable of fast DC charging up to 500 kW, the Yangwang U9 ensures efficient power delivery and extended driving range. Additionally, the vehicle features the BYD DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System, allowing for dynamic adjustments in ride height and aerodynamics.

“The Yangwang U9 represents a convergence of speed, technology, and sustainability,” affirmed a BYD engineer involved in the car’s development.

Priced at approximately $236,000, the Yangwang U9 offers exceptional value for performance enthusiasts, positioning itself as a competitive alternative to traditional ICE supercars. While currently available exclusively in China, anticipation is high for its impending global release, scheduled for mid-2024.

“The Yangwang U9 heralds a new chapter in electric vehicle performance, embodying BYD’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence,” concluded the BYD spokesperson.

As the automotive industry embraces the electric revolution, BYD’s foray into the realm of high-performance electric sports cars sets a precedent for future advancements in sustainable mobility. With the Yangwang U9 poised to redefine the boundaries of electric vehicle performance, BYD solidifies its position as a trailblazer in the transition towards electrified transportation.
