These numbers position the U9 against EVs like the Tesla Model S Plaid, which has a claimed 321km/h top speed and class-leading acceleration scores. BYD's U9 was spotted in a video earlier this Jul, running laps at the Nürburgring circuit (Germany) and tackling corners with ease.
To mitigate potential delivery delays, BYD is implementing a points-based compensation system. Customers experiencing delivery delays will get points, redeemable for official merchandise (although it doesn't say what). Additionally, BYD has extended the warranty for the U9's "three-electric" system to cover the entire lifespan of the vehicle, regardless of ownership changes.
The Yangwang U9's interior features extensive carbon fiber accents and a driver-focused cockpit equipped with multiple screens. The vehicle also incorporates a cutting-edge powertrain and innovative suspension systems. Furthermore, the U9 can fast-charge from 30% to 80% in 10 minutes, and slow charging can replenish 30%-80% in 7 hours.
The Yangwang U9 is equipped with a "world's first" Yisifang U-shaped motor, offering high torque and response compared to traditional supercars. Additionally, the vehicle features a carbon fiber roof and rear diffuser, with an optional racing rear wing for enhanced aerodynamic performance. The car will be available in three colours at launch - Moon Silver, Argyle Purple, and Cloud Red.
