BYD has launched their first pure electric supercar model U9 under its high-end sub-brand, YANGWANG, priced at 1.68 million RMB, and announced the delivery will start in this summer.
The YANGWANG U9 adopts the “Time Gate” design language, embodying a distinctive aesthetic, characterized by unique proportions, tension, and power, reflecting its identity as a pure electric supercar.
Powering the electric supercar is two core technologies, the e4 platform and the DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System, which seamlessly integrating track performance, street adaptability, and playful features.
The e4 Platform is a power system with four independent electric motors as its core, featuring agile and precise and four-wheel independent torque output control. The U9 is claimed to deliver a whopping 1,300 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1680 Nm.
The BYD DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System, a proprietary feature, enables U9 to achieve the maximum adjustable suspension travel of up to 75mm, while its peak single-axis lifting speed of up to 500mm/s, enabling instantaneous lifting force of over 1 ton and facilitating the remarkable leap-up of the U9. Those features deliver unparalleled driving experience in diverse driving scenarios like braking, acceleration, cornering, and road impacts, greatly enhancing vehicle agility and comfort for both drivers and passengers.
