BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme 02 Breaks 7 Minutes at the Nürburgring

The BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme 02 has once again proven that electric supercars are rewriting history. This time, it was not about top speed but about track performance, and the result was nothing short of remarkable. The U9 Xtreme 02 just completed a lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes 59.157 seconds.

Crossing the legendary track in under 7 minutes puts the U9 Xtreme 02 in the company of the fastest cars ever tested there. This is not just a time on a stopwatch—it is a statement. With more than 3,000 horsepower from four electric motors, advanced aerodynamics, and precision engineering, BYD has taken its electric performance machine into territory once dominated by combustion hypercars.

What makes this moment even more significant is how quickly BYD is building momentum. Not long ago, the U9 stunned the world with a top speed run of 496.22 km/h. Now, it shows that it is just as capable in the corners as it is on the straights. For enthusiasts and skeptics alike, this lap time proves that electric innovation has arrived at the Nürburgring in force.
