Preliminary Information Suggests That BYD’s Electric Sports Supercar Will Have Four Motors With 240 kW (322 HP) Each

BYD is confident in its ability to establish its premium brand as a result of its growing success on a global scale. In addition to revealing its off-road electric SUV, the Yangwang U8, the Chinese giant also revealed its second premium vehicle, the Yangwang U9, an electric supercar with 1300 HP.

These are the first two models launched under the premium sub-brand of BYD, Yangwang, and both make their debut on the new platform known as e4.

At the launch ceremony, BYD’s global president, Wang Chuanfu, made the following statement: “The Yangwang brand will be the first to apply cutting-edge technologies from the BYD group and offer safety, performance, and experience to customers, even under extreme driving conditions”.

According to the Official Statement, BYD Claims That the Vehicle Can Accelerate from 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour in Less Than 2 Seconds. This Puts It on Par With the Tesla Roadster!

Even if the steering and brakes do not function correctly, the e4 platform allows the electric Yangwang U9 to stop from 100 kilometers per hour in less than 40 meters. This is possible due to its independent torque output capability, which can be positive or negative.

BYD has not yet disclosed all the technical specifications, but preliminary information suggests that the vehicle will have four motors, each with 240 kW (322 HP). This will result in a cumulative power of up to 960 kW (1,300 HP).

The Yangwang U9 aims to be a high-performance electric car intended to compete on equal footing with high-performance models offered by other manufacturers in the market, such as the Roadster model from Elon Musk’s automaker, which still does not have an official launch date.

When considering the fact that the U9 will be much lighter than the U8, as well as the fact that its aerodynamics will be significantly more effective, it is likely that we are talking about one of the most exciting electric supercars currently on the market.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
