Byd already has a new notch in its revolver. A little over a month ago that the Chinese company presumed to have the faster electric car in the world. Its Yangwang U9, an electrical hyperdeportivo of 3,000 hp of power already looked through the rearview by any previous brand with its more than 470 km/h of peak speed.
Today, Byd can already boast another milestone: he has the fastest car in the world. Yangwang U9 Xtreme, previously known as Track Day The “electric” surname of its record has been removed by raising up to 496.22 km/h peak speed. Yes, they have managed to beat Bugatti.
Byd has the fastest car on the planet.
I had to arrive
It was almost a matter of time for an electric car to be done with the tip speed record. Electric cars have become vehicles with the fastest acceleration in the world but, in addition, with the right battery they had in their hand to take the fastest car title in the world.
Keep in mind that Yangwang U9 is a Electric hypercocheor 1,288 hp. It has the latest byd technologies, such as the intelligent control of your body that allows you three -wheel either hop To avoid obstacles.
But in its Xtreme version, this hypercoche raises the power of its four engines up to a total of 2,978 hp. That makes it an authentic missile to which only he can stop his battery. However, with the appropriate accumulator the “fastest car in the world” title was going to fall yes or yes in an electric car sooner or later.
In this case, we talked about the first car with a structure of 1,200 volts (the most advanced right now on the street have 800 volts) and an energy accumulator more dense than the rest of the cars that Byd has on the street. That is why it is able to accumulate more electricity in the same space.
That battery, however, is huge and despite lightening weight in other elements, we talk about a 2,480 kg car. Solution, with its 3,000 hp of power they have managed to get into a ratio of 0.82 kg/cv.
He has defeated pure gross power to Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, which in 2019 reached 490.48 km/h. The almost 500 km/h of the byd model have swept the European model but have been made in a unidirectional pass in the oval of the oval of ATP Papenburg Circuit in Germany. At the moment, the SSC Tuatara remains the fastest vehicle in a bidirectional past, with 455.3 km/h on average.
However, the milestone is important. Bugatti has been ensuring that he had reached its limits. The Chiron Super Sport 300+ has a brutal W16 capable of reaching 1,600 hp and had put on Michelin’s roof Its ability to break a new record.
Marc Basseng, the pilot on which the record of the record fell, said that it has only been possible because “the U9 Xtreme has incredible performance. Technically, something like that It is not possible with a combustion engine. Thanks to the electric motor, the car is silent, there are no weight changes and that allows me to concentrate even more on the track. ”
New horizon? Obviously: be the first car that exceeds 500 km/h of peak speed. There is a new race to get it and Byd has been about to throw the door down.
