YangWang U9, the Chinese electric car with more than 3,000 hp of power

That China manufactures more electric cars than any other country in the world is no secret or great news, but the Asian giant's automotive industry can now boast a truly spectacular milestone: they have become the first to manufacture a production electric vehicle with a power output of over 3,000 hp and capable of challenging supercar records in the Bu. YangWang U9 Track Edition is the sportiest and most radical version of BYD's luxury subsidiary, a vehicle capable of beating the times of many Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti or Porsche models on a track, to name a few of the illustrious names in the European automotive aristocracy.

And the new YangWang U9 Track Edition is a vehicle powered by four electric motors (one on each wheel) of 755 hp (or 555 kW, if you prefer), which reaches a total combined power of 2,220 kW, the equivalent of 3. This is the most radical evolution of the conventional U9 model, which already offered a fantastic 1,300 hp of power, and which far exceeds the performance and power of the Lotus Evija or the Rimac Refrigerator, the leading figures so far in the high-performance sports car segment.

This radical sports car uses an 80 kWh Blade LFP battery and a fast charging point of up to 500 kW that allows charging from 30% to 80% of the battery capacity in just ten minutes, and has an approved weight of around two and a half tons. This sports version also includes specific tires type slick wider and geared towards intensive use on high-speed circuits, a traction and control system specifically designed to manage the car's power, a new rear spoiler and new diffusers that improve the vehicle's aerodynamic coefficient.

During this August, YangWang has put its sports car to the test on the Papenburg test track, in northwest Germany, where it has broken the world speed record for an electric car by reaching a top speed of 472.41 km/h and has become the fastest electric car in the world. a short distance from the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, which currently holds the record for the world's fastest car. However, it's quite possible that this fantastic sports car will never be marketed in Europe, as the YangWang brand, founded in 2022, only operates in China, and parent company BYD has no plans to enter the Old Continent.
