On February 25th, the Yangwang U9 Pure Electric car officially went on sale. As the representative product of China's supercars, the Yangwang U9 will be equipped with the Easy Four and Cloud Rider-X technologies, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.36 seconds. The official also proposed the concept of being able to drive on the street, race, and play.

Let's take a look at the new car. Its exterior still adopts the "time and space gate" design language, with a highly recognizable interstellar crossing front light design. The entire front end has a strong sense of power and impact. Of course, as a supercar, the Yangwang U9 also has a wealth of aerodynamic design. It is reported that the car is equipped with 6 sets of body air duct layout and 12 sets of main and auxiliary aerodynamic components to meet the needs of efficient heat dissipation, ultra-low wind resistance, and high downforce.

Looking at the side, the new car adopts a similar water droplet pyramid shape to reduce wind resistance. It is worth mentioning that it is equipped with a monocoque carbon fiber cabin as a whole, combined with CTB technology, the vehicle's torsional stiffness reaches 54,425 N·m/°, and the body lightweight coefficient reaches 0.95. In addition, the car adopts a butterfly door opening method and is equipped with Pirelli P ZERO series tires. The wheel size is 275/35 R21 at the front and 325/30 R21 at the rear. The body size is 4966/2029/1295(1338)mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm.

Coming to the rear of the car, the Yangwang U9 is equipped with a large carbon fiber fixed spoiler. It adopts a goose neck design, with the support fixed at the upper end of the spoiler. The rear diffuser features an extremely exaggerated design, and it also has a horizontal active spoiler that can increase downforce at the rear axle when retracted and reduce drag when extended. The car has three color options for its exterior.

Inside, the car features a wrap-around cabin design with a central vertical display that houses a variety of in-car apps. Below the screen is a touchscreen rotary knob and physical buttons for easy operation of vehicle settings. The three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and in front of it is a full-liquid crystal display. The interior also has three color options.

It's worth mentioning that although the Yangwang U9 has a bucket seat, it still manages to convey a sense of luxury with its leather and suede combination, and it retains features such as electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation. Additionally, the car features 127-color ambient lighting, a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, and wireless phone charging, among other things, to meet daily driving needs.

In terms of power, the car will be equipped with a four-motor system, with the maximum power of each motor being 240kW, giving a combined power of 960kW, or 1306 horsepower, and a peak torque of 1680N·m at 21000rpm. The car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 2.36 seconds, from 0-400 meters in 9.78 seconds, and has a top speed of 309km/h. Its test results on the Shanghai stage were 2:17.65, and it has a dual-gun supercharging system with a maximum charging power of 500kW. The Yangwang U9 intelligent all-active body control system is centered around the three-dimensional fusion control of longitudinal, transverse, and vertical movements, equipped with air springs and dual-valve shock absorbers, helping the Yangwang U9 achieve three-wheel driving and four-wheel jumping actions. In addition, the Yangwang U9 is equipped with an 80kWh battery and has a CLTC cruising range of 450km. It can be charged at a rate of 10%-80% in 10 minutes with dual-gun fast charging, and 7%-80% in 7 hours with slow charging.

To meet the personalized needs of users, the Yangwang U9 will develop various personalized modes. In the initial stage, it will have three personalized modes. The first is the dancing mode, which can be activated with one button and has four songs to choose from. The new car can also program its own music. The second is the spontaneous display function, which can open the gull-wing door with one button. The third is the warm-up mode, which can provide fun modes such as turning around in place. All three modes can be controlled by voice, and more new modes will be OTA upgraded and added in the future.

Considering the street-race hybrid and new energy product characteristics of the Yangwang U9, its competitors will include the Lotus EMEYA Flower, Polestar 6, and Hyper SSR. Of these, the EMEYA Flower can be considered a luxury car developed by a sports car brand, while the Yangwang U9 and Hyper SSR can be considered luxury sports cars developed by luxury brands, each with its own characteristics. Of course, if you are already the owner of a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Porsche sports car, you probably wouldn't mind adding a domestic supercar to fill your garage, right?

The Yangwang U9 Pure Electric car from BYD's premium brand, was launched in April 2023, and its ability to drive on three wheels and perform jumps and other impressive maneuvers left a lasting impression. What was even more memorable was Wang Chuanfu's statement: "Traditional luxury is about car logos, while new energy luxury is about technology." This showcased a great deal of confidence. Now, the price of the U9 has been revealed, so how will it perform in the market and on the race track? Let's wait and see.
