BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme | World’s Fastest Electric Car Hits 308 MPH
[Music] A car from China just shocked the world. It’s called the BYD Yong Wong9 Extreme and it’s now the fastest electric car ever made. With nearly 3,000 horsepower and a top speed of 308 mph, this EV isn’t just quick, it’s rewriting history. On September 14th, 2025, test driver Mark Basing pushed the U9 Extreme to 496.22 km per hour. That’s 308 mph at Germany’s ADP Papenber track. It also conquered a Nurburg in just 6 minutes and 59 seconds. A record-breaking run for production electric car. [Music] Power and technology at its heart. The U9 Extreme has four electric motors, one for each wheel. Together, they make nearly 3,000 horsepower. The car system checks and adjusts power delivery more than 100 times every second, giving the driver precise control even at extreme speed. It runs on a 1,200 volt system, higher than most EVs. This means faster energy flow, cooler operation, and more stability. Power comes from BYD’s blade battery built with lithium iron phosphate chemistry, dual cooling layers, and the ability to handle extreme racing demands. [Music] The engineers behind the U9 Extreme. Cars like this don’t disappear. They are born from years of hard work by BYD’s top engineers and designers. The U9 Extreme is the result of aerodynamics experts shaping every curve for speed and stability. Battery specialists creating a system strong enough to survive racing heat. Suspension and control engineers developing BYD’s DUSX system that adapts instantly on the track. And of course, the test drivers and racing team who push the car to its absolute limits. Every detail from a swan neck wing to the advanced cooling system shows the teamwork behind this engineering masterpiece. Body and exterior design. This hypercar looks as wild as it drives. The U9 Extreme wears a low and wide carbon fiber body built for aerodynamics. It has a sharp front splitter that slices through air. A dual channel hood to guide air flow. A massive swan neck rear wing for downforce. A layered diffuser to stabilize a rear. 20-in lightweight wheels with Jitty Sports semi-slick tires designed to hold steady even at 500 kmh. Its futuristic style makes it look more like a spaceship than a car. Interior and style. Step inside and the U9 Extreme feels like a mix of luxury and racing spirit. The cockpit includes digital screens focus on driving data. Premium materials like all Contra and carbon fiber. Lightweight racing seats that lock you in place at high speeds. A minimalist high-tech design that keeps the driver’s attention sharp. This is not a lounge on wheels. It’s a fighter jet road engineering for speed. At such high speed, small mistakes could be deadly. That’s why BYD gave a U9 Extreme its DusX body control system. It uses dual valve suspension that reacts instantly, keeping the car stable with instant torque vectoring. It stays glued to the ground even at 300 plus MPH. During testing at Papenberg, Mark Basing reached 308.4 mph in one direction. While some record bodies require a two-way run, this is still enough to crown the U9 Extreme the fastest production EV in the world. [Music] Limited production. Here’s the catch. BYD will only make 30 cars. Each one is a collector’s item, a symbol of how far EV engineering has come. Most people will never own it, but everyone can admire it. Final thoughts. The BYD Yong Wong U9 Extreme isn’t just about numbers. It shows that electric cars can beat legendary hypercars. With 30,000 horsepower, 1,200 volt technology, and a record-breaking top speed, it’s proof that the future performance is electric. This car is more than fast. It’s history in the making. So, here’s the question. Backhand index pointing right. Would you dare to drive at 308 mph? Let us know in the comments. And don’t forget to like and subscribe for more epic supercar stories.
A new king of speed is here — and it’s electric.
Meet the BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme, the world’s fastest electric car with nearly 3,000 horsepower and a record-breaking 308 mph top speed. On September 14, 2025, test driver Marc Basseng pushed this EV to 496.22 km/h at Germany’s ATP Papenburg track — rewriting history.
With four electric motors, BYD’s Blade Battery, and the advanced DiSus-X body control system, the U9 Xtreme proves that the future of hypercars is electric. From a Nürburgring lap time of 6:59 to its carbon-fiber aero design and fighter-jet interior, this limited-production beast (only 30 units!) is the ultimate showcase of Chinese engineering.
