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.

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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
