Last time we spoke about the Rimac Nevera being the king of electric speed. But that crown didn't last long 👑⚡.

Because now, BYD's luxury sub-brand Yangwang has unleashed a new monster — and it has just smashed every record in sight! 🚀

🏆 A New World Record

The BYD Yangwang U9 Track Edition has officially become the fastest production EV in the world. Tested at Germany's ATP Papenburg track, it hit an insane 472.41 km/h (293.54 mph).

👨‍✈️ Driven by German racing ace Marc Basseng, this run shattered the previous records held by Aspark Owl (272.6 mph) and Rimac Nevera (268 mph).

⚙️ Extreme Engineering Behind the Speed

This isn't just about adding more power — it's a technological leap.

• 🔋 Quad-motor setup → a combined 2,959 bhp
• ⚡ World's first 1200V ultra-high-voltage platform
• 🌀 Motors spinning at 30,000 rpm each
• 🎯 DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System → reduces roll, controls posture & even allows 3-wheel driving!

Together, this tech makes the U9 Track Edition not just fast in a straight line, but also razor-sharp in handling.

🛞 Tyres Built for the Impossible

At such insane speeds, the tyres had to be re-invented. BYD partnered with Giti Tyre to design exclusive semi-slicks:

• 🛠️ Custom tread & compounds for extreme grip
• ⚡ Enhanced durability under high torque loads
• 🔒 Special rim treatment to reduce slip at acceleration & braking

They're the silent heroes keeping this EV glued to the tarmac.

🎨Race-Ready Design

On the outside, it still resembles the standard U9 — but every detail screams performance:

• 🖤 Carbon-fibre roof
• ✂️ Aerodynamic front splitter
• 🎨 Racing stripes & numbered livery

Every design tweak isn't just for looks — it's tuned for speed and stability.

📊 What This Record Means

This isn't just another headline. The U9 Track Edition has changed the game:

• 🏆 Petrol hypercars? Outpaced.
• ⚡ Other EVs? Left behind.
• 🚀 The next target? Breaking 300 mph.

Electric hypercars are no longer about “eco-friendly performance” — they're now leading the race in extreme speed and engineering.

👉 So after the Nevera post, this is the big one:

BYD Yangwang U9 Track Edition = The New Fastest EV in the World 🏆⚡
