Engineering & Technology
The U9 Xtreme showcases BYD’s most advanced EV engineering to date. Its four electric motors, each capable of spinning at 30,000 rpm, work together with the high-voltage platform to achieve unprecedented power delivery. The vehicle uses a specially reinforced Blade Battery system designed for extreme thermal and discharge demands.
Handling and stability at high speed are enhanced by BYD’s DiSus-X intelligent body control system, a full carbon-fiber aerodynamic package, and a track-grade semi-slick tire compound co-developed with Giti. The braking system features titanium components and carbon-ceramic rotors for high-temperature endurance.
Track Achievements
Beyond its top-speed record, the U9 Xtreme also recently completed a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:59.157, placing it among the fastest hypercars on the iconic circuit
