China’s BYD shatters the electric car speed record with its U9 Track Edition Hypercar on Germany’s ATP test track in Papenburg.
⚡ High-Performance Beast: Delivering 2,200 kW (2,978 hp) from four motors with 555 kW each, spinning at over 30,000 rpm, the U9 is the most powerful mass-produced EV in the world.
🏎️ China Overtakes Europe: 60 km/h faster than the previous record holder, the Rimac Nevera (412 km/h), 0–100 km/h in just 2.36 seconds, and charging from 30–80% in only 10 minutes.
Watch: With its EUR 232,000 hypercar, BYD showcases China’s technological edge in the EV sector—while German automakers still have nothing comparable in their lineups.
