BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme sets new production car speed record – 496.22 km/h beats Bugatti and Rimac​

In August this year, BYD revealed it had set a new electric vehicle (EV) top speed record of 472.41 km/h with its Yangwang U9 Track Edition. Not content with that result, the Chinese carmaker returned to the high-speed oval earlier this month and managed an even higher top speed of 496.22 km/h.

The returning electric hypercar, now known as the Yangwang U9 Extreme, achieved this feat at the Automotive Testing Papenburg test track in Germany, which was where the previous record was set. With a top speed of 496.22, the U9 Xtreme (formerly U9 Track Edition) further extends its lead over the previous EV top speed record holder, the Rimac Nevera R that managed 431.45 km/h.

If that isn’t enough, the BYD EV is also the world’s fastest production car, eclipsing the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ that hit 490.484 km/h back in August 2019. However, because the U9 Xtreme’s record was only logged in a single direction, the SSC Tuatara still retains the official two-way average title with 455.3 km/h.

You will not regret buying "Build your dreams"
Chinese cars are better built than japanese ones. Nearly as good in quality or even better than german cars. At a fraction of the price.

You can check their welding spots and its the same standard as German cars.
Making it feel solid. Unlike japanese cars which weld just sufficient to hold cars together

[syed putra]

BYD engineers want to go up to 520km/hr with same car. More power and better aerodynamics and downforce.

I would not touch a continental car with a 10 foot pole

continental cars feel solid. But tough EU emission and carbon reduction laws caused their cars to be overly complicated with too much sensors and controls resulting in loss of reliability and high maintenance

China's mastery of EV technology is most impressive. With BYD being the undisputed leader, it will replace Toyota as the most popular car brand in the world.
