"The Yangwang U9 Extreme is the fastest car in the world. After hitting 308.4mph (496.22kph) in September 2025, it bloodied the noses of Koenigsegg, Rimac, Bugatti, and plenty of others, while making EV cynics raise an eyebrow. The Extreme comes with 2,978 horsepower, while the base U9 makes do with just' 1288. As I found out on a custom-built test track in China, that's still plenty. Driving it was impressive, but it may have a tough job convincing traditional sports/supercar"
"Not because of the design: It's a fearsome-looking thing. Long, low, and wide, it's got the profile of a more traditional mid-engined supercar. For people who like that sort of thing, it's certainly going to turn heads. You can spec a big ol wing to go on its rear deck, too, which will appeal to people who like big, pointy things, or who want to have their bag lunch on a different kind of table."
The Yangwang U9 Extreme achieved 308.4 mph (496.22 kph) in September 2025, making it the fastest car recorded. The Extreme produces 2,978 horsepower while the base U9 offers 1,288 horsepower. The U9 delivers supercar styling with long, low, and wide proportions, upward-opening doors, a swoopy interior, and supportive seats for high-speed cornering. Performance figures include 0–60 mph in 2.36 seconds, a quoted top speed of 186 mph for the base model, an 80 kWh BYD Blade battery with an optimistic 280-mile range, and up to 500 kW charging capability. The brand targets wealthy buyers but may face recognition challenges outside China.
