Overall, the YangWang U9 is quite large with dimensions of 4,966 mm in length, 2,029 mm in width, 1,295 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, an important factor to accommodate the 100 kWh battery pack between the axles. The battery pack is produced by FinDreams, a subsidiary of BYD.
This supercar will be equipped with 4 electric motors, each with a power output of 322 horsepower, resulting in a total power output of 1,287 horsepower, more than 1,100 horsepower higher than previously announced. Some may argue that the car doesn’t need such a high power output, but with a weight of 2,475 kg, it is significantly heavier than a conventionally powered supercar and weighs about 175 kg (386 lbs) more than the Rimac Nevera.
BYD claims that the car only takes 2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h and has a top speed of 300 km/h. The company states that the U9 can travel up to 700 km (435 miles) on a single charge based on testing cycles in China.
The most attractive feature of the U9 is its unique suspension system. BYD calls it the ‘Disus-X system’ and it provides complex motion control in the vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal directions through the shock absorber control system, hydraulic body control system, and intelligent body control system. This system allows the car to move on three wheels and even bounce up and down.
Despite all the technology integrated into the YangWang U9, this model will follow in the footsteps of other BYD models and still have a relatively ‘affordable’ price by supercar standards, with prices starting from around 1 million Chinese Yuan (equivalent to 140,000 USD).
