BYD U9 Xtreme 02 EV Supercar Reaches 496 KM/H – 3000 HP Record Run

The world of high-performance electric cars just witnessed a jaw-dropping milestone. The BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme, already famous for pushing boundaries, has now reached an incredible 496.22 km/h. This achievement marks a new chapter in electric vehicle performance, proving that the limits are still being rewritten.

The U9 02 test car, powered by four electric motors delivering more than 3,000 horsepower, showed that electric power is not only about instant acceleration but also about sustaining immense speed. Engineers focused on stability, advanced aerodynamics, and thermal management to handle the enormous stress that comes with nearly 500 km/h.

What makes this even more impressive is how quickly BYD continues to raise the bar. Earlier, the Track Edition of the U9 had already stunned the world with a verified 472.41 km/h run. To then push further and hit 496.22 km/h shows how aggressively the company is developing its flagship supercar.

This result does not just belong in the record books; it sends a clear message that electric performance is evolving at an astonishing pace. We are looking at a future where traditional hypercars may need to rethink what “fastest” really means.
