All eyes are now on automotive giant BYD as it unveils its latest achievement, the Yangwang U9 Track Edition. This extreme performance version has officially earned the title of the most powerful registered car in China to date, thanks to a quad motor electric powertrain capable of producing an astonishing 3,019 horsepower. This figure not only crowns it as the leader among electric cars in China but also places it in direct competition with the world’s elite hypercars.

The launch of this edition reflects the brand’s vision to push the absolute limits of performance, proving that electric vehicles are not only for drivers seeking sustainability but also for speed enthusiasts and professional racing fans.

Aggressive Racing Inspired Design


The Yangwang U9 Racing Edition retains its bold design language from the standard model but has undergone targeted modifications to maximize its track performance.

  • A glossy red exterior finish that gives the car a commanding presence on the circuit while enhancing its visual appeal.

  • A massive rear wing made from carbon fiber, valued at approximately 43,000 yuan (21,996 AED), designed to improve aerodynamic stability at high speeds.

  • 20 inch wheels replacing the 21 inch setup of the standard model, reducing weight and improving dynamic responsiveness.

  • Front and rear tires with a 325 mm width, offering superior grip in corners compared to the narrower 275 mm front tires of the regular version.


These modifications are not merely aesthetic; they are engineering driven enhancements aimed at optimizing power delivery and ensuring exceptional stability when driving at speeds exceeding 300 km/h.

Electric Power That Makes History


The Yangwang U9 Racing Edition relies on a quad motor electric powertrain, featuring TZ240XYA units, with one motor dedicated to each wheel for maximum control and traction.

  • Power per motor: 555 kW (approximately 755 hp)

  • Total output: 2220 kW, equivalent to 3019 hp


With this immense power, the car outperforms notable rivals:

It also comes close to the staggering figures claimed by the Devel Sixteen at 5007 hp, although the latter remains controversial regarding its status as a true production vehicle.

Aiming to Break Track Records


The Yangwang U9 Racing Edition was not built for show alone. It has a clear mission in sight: to dominate world class race tracks and set record breaking lap times. The combination of fully electric all wheel drive, immense instant torque, and the grip of wide racing tires makes it a complete tool for track supremacy, whether in straight line acceleration or in cornering with unmatched precision and speed.

This car also sends a strong message from BYD to the supercar market, the future is not limited to internal combustion engines, and electric power can deliver performance that surpasses any conventional technology.

Key Technical Specifications


To provide a clearer picture, here are the standout figures that highlight the capabilities of the Yangwang U9 Racing Edition:

  • Total Power: 3019 hp

  • Number of Motors: Four independent electric motors

  • Torque: Instant high torque enabling breathtaking acceleration from a standstill

  • Tires: 325 mm width front and rear with a racing tread pattern for enhanced grip

  • Rear Wing: High strength carbon fiber for improved aerodynamic stability

  • Approximate Wing Price: 43,000 yuan (21,996 AED)


With these specifications and its extraordinary performance, the Yangwang U9 Racing Edition enters the electric hypercar arena at full force, aiming to surpass some of the most renowned names in the industry and cementing BYD’s position as one of the leading players in the global race for technology and performance.
