BYD Surprises The Automotive Market By Launching The Electric Supercar Yangwang U9 Xtreme, Which Reached 496 Km/h And Became The Fastest Production Car In The World, Outpacing Combustion Rivals.

BYD once again showcased its strength in the electric car sector. The sports car Yangwang U9 Xtreme reached 496.22 km/h at the ATP Automotive Testing circuit in Papenburg, Germany, setting a new world record.

This feat placed the Chinese model ahead of combustion supercars, including the sports car that held the previous record with 490.48 km/h.

Extreme Power: Over 3,000 Hp Under The Electric Hood

The achievement was only possible thanks to the advanced engineering of the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, a radical evolution of the traditional U9 version. The model received an ultra-high voltage electric system of 1200V, a lithium iron phosphate Blade battery with a 30C discharge, and four motors that spin at up to 30,000 rpm. The result is impressive: over 3,000 hp of power, semi-slick tires, and a suspension specially tuned for track performance.

These enhancements allowed the supercar to achieve unprecedented numbers in the world of production vehicles, consolidating BYD as a reference also in the premium segment.

The German Marc Basseng, experienced in endurance competitions, was responsible for driving the U9 Xtreme in the historic lap. However, the model will be extremely exclusive: only 30 units will be manufactured. There is still no forecast for its arrival in the Brazilian market, but global expectations are high.

Official Recognition Still In Progress

Despite the impressive feat, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme has not yet officially entered the Guinness World Records. This is because the homologation requires the average of the maximum speed over two laps, performed in opposite directions on the track.

Meanwhile, the model already surpasses speed icons. Among combustion cars, the SSC Tuatara, from 2021, reached 455.3 km/h. In the electric universe, the Rimac Nevera R, in 2023, had recorded 431.45 km/h. Now, BYD takes the lead, pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology in electric supercars.
