Overview

• Yangwang says the U9 Track Edition reached 472.41 km/h at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track on August 8 with German driver Marc Basseng at the wheel.
• The car uses four electric motors spinning up to 30,000 rpm for a combined output reported at more than 3,000 CV, supported by a 1,200-volt architecture and enhanced thermal management.
• Chassis technologies include the DiSus-X body control system and independent torque vectoring that adjusts wheel torque over 100 times per second, plus an optional optimized carbon-fiber front splitter.
• Media reports indicate the speed eclipses prior EV records set at the same German test facility in recent years.
• Yangwang cites a Giti Tire co-developed semi-slick for high-speed stability, while BYD has begun deliveries in Argentina and formalized its BYD Auto Argentina SAU unit with Yuan Deng as president.
