BYD Launches YangWang Luxury EV Brand, Shows 1,000+ Horsepower SUV And Supercar via insideevs.com
Moving on to the all-electric YangWang U9 supercar, all I can say is it’s a completely different animal than its brand stablemate, at least in terms of design. With its C-shaped front LED lights, low-slung figure, and center fin on its back, the U9 certainly looks like something to be reckoned with.
It uses the same Yisifang power system as the U8 SUV, so a quad-motor setup with up to 322 hp for each wheel, for a total output of 1,288 hp. With this much oomph, it’s said to accelerate to 62 mph in just 2 seconds from a standstill, which would make it almost as quick as the Croatian-made Rimac Nevera, which sprints to 60 mph. in 1.85 seconds.
The price for the YangWang U9 hasn’t been announced yet, but during its reveal, the company presented it as a ‘million-yuan’ supercar, so expect a starting price of around $145,000. There’s no word yet on the availability of both these new EVs outside of China, but I’d like to know what you think of them – if they somehow make it to the United States, would they have a chance against the luxury models offered by legacy automakers? Let us know in the comments below.
