This 1300 HP Chinese Electric Super Car Is Coming For Ferrari
As someone who covers cars from Chinese Brands there’s certain types of vehicles that I simply don’t get to talk about because they don’t make them I’m thinking especially of supercars but that is about to change thanks in part to this the yangong Wang un9 all electric Supercar welcome to Wheels boy where we
Cover the newest coolest and wildest vehicles from the Chinese car market be sure to like subscribe and hit the Bell Yangang Wang is the Halo brand for byd China’s largest manufacturer of electric vehicles and while we don’t know exactly how much it’s going to cost when it hits the Chinese market later this year we do know it will be over 1 million RMB or $140,000 that’s a lot of money I unless
You’re talking about an electric Supercar with 1300 horsepower Yes you heard me right 1,300 horsepower or 960 KW from four electric motors in fact this is the same electric powertrain that’s underneath the yangong Wang u8 super SUV that’s already on sale here in the Chinese market that’s right unlike
The u8 this is a pure EV not an extended range electric vehicle underneath that big wheelbase is a 100 KW lfp blade battery from a byd subsidiary called fin dreams it’s going to provide they claim a 700 km range on the cltc cycle that big battery also means a big curb weight of
2,475 kg or over 5,000 lb this isn’t our first time seeing the exterior of this car but we do know a little more information than we did when we first saw it at the Shanghai Auto Show last year we now know that its nearest makes
No difference 5 m in length or about 20 cm longer than a Ferrari La Ferrari for example we also know that it’s riding on 21in wheels that are 275 width in the front 325 in the rear it also has a wider front track than a rear track specifically 1,719 mm up front
1,676 in the rear we know that the body of the Yang Wang un is a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum we don’t know exactly what’s aluminum and what’s carbon fiber we can at least see from the outside that has a ton of gorgeous carbon fiber components including this
Beautiful front lip spoiler as well as a carbon fiber roof which I got to tell you in person really really beautiful and then carbon fiber rocker panel but the piece that resistance is certainly this huge carbon fiber rear wing there will be two versions of this car
Available there is this one which is the racetrack version it’s going to have this massive gorgeous full carbon fiber fixed rear wing there is also going to be a street version version which will not have a fixed rear ring but rather an electronically Deployable one in the
Trunk lid regardless of which one you choose there will be some active Arrow involved we don’t know exactly what active Arrow will be with what package but just to give you an example on this racetrack version down here in this rear uh rear diffuser sorry there are these
Active shutters right here this is an active Arrow feature so when the car changes speeds these are going to respond accordingly I know what you’ve all been thinking while watching this video but what about rear cargo space let’s have a look underneath that gigantic fixed wing on this racetrack
Version is a pretty decent rear cargo area for a Supercar at least I say you could probably fit anywhere from two to three soft bags in here which is enough for two people to go on a nice three-day trip and what more could you ask for the UN should be more than
Comfortable on a racetrack and not just because of that huge Wing In addition to its quad motor E4 powertrain it also features dys X intelligent body control control the Brand’s allnew hydraulic suspension system like the hydraulic suspension on a classic citrin DS dys X allows the unine to drive on three
Wheels it also allows for Less practical Maneuvers like dancing and even jumping into the air only time and test drive will tell if it’s got performance to back up all those theatrics we may have seen the exterior of this car already but we haven’t been able to sit inside but I am obviously
Doing that right now first of all these butterfly doors are electronically operated now if I hit the brake right now it will close both the doors and smash my camera so I won’t do that instead I’ll go to the menu here click on the car hit this and then close my
Driver’s side door on its own what else can I see from this position well I see four different screens this car is the key is not in the car anyways four different screens starting with the instrument cluster here in front of me framed by this very nice steering wheel really happy to see
That they do not have a Yol or anything like that this is a very nicely sized nice thickness steering wheel we also have a screen here in the center where you can control your air conditioning as well as as I just showed you things like the doors opening and closing and the
Navigation above that is a digital rear view mirror because let me tell you there ain’t a rear window in this thing next to that you have this a passenger screen which seems to have really everything You’ expect from the passenger screen in a Chinese electric vehicle meaning infotainment like movies
And videos and navigation kind of surprising most of the time in these super cars they only have a screen where you can see the speed of the car at the time for the passenger to look at this one’s actually got a useful infotainment screen then again if you are riding in
This car and you are looking at that screen watching a movie instead of experiencing the drive probably something’s wrong with you let’s focus a little bit more on this Center screen this vertical screen here the there’s a bunch of options available to you you know your phone and your navigation and
Your media but the one I care about is one at the very top E4 this uses the E4 electric architecture uh powertrain that’s the quad motor powertrain the same one that’s in the u8 SUV if I hit the E4 button we can see various options open up you can see the tank turn
Feature yes this electric Supercar has tank turn I’m not kidding you also see what is the competition mode obviously that’s going to be the mode where you can get your fastest 0 to 100 km per hour time what is that 0 to 100 km per hour time well we don’t know they say
It’s in the 2 second range it I don’t know I would guess really really low twos or maybe even sub two seconds but we won’t know until they release that info later this year you also have other driving modes um which you can access either through the screen or down here
With this little knob this knob inside is a small LED display and you use it to switch between your different mode modes interesting thing that I’m noticing there is an eco mode which seems a little bit strange on a 1300 horsepower superar electric superar um you’ve also
Got Comfort mode Sport and snow so underneath of that is another combination this is a classic byd thing it’s a combination of a touch panel and a a physical panel so what happens is when I press my finger like this the whole panel moves but it’s only going to
Select a certain thing you’ve also got the automatic parking that’s probably going to help when uh trying to put this 5 m long 2 m wide vehicle into a parking spot I wouldn’t want to try to do it myself and then some simple commands for your um air
Conditioning here between the seats is a final little you know thing here for the center console that I want to talk about this is a wireless charging pad now when you look at it you think this is a disaster W to happen because if I were to put my phone here it would
Immediately slide right off when I took took a turn but if I put my phone notice that it is lowering into the center console at this point it’s relatively safe I still wouldn’t want to put my phone here when I was on a racetrack but at least you know when you’re going
Around a turn it’s not going to immediately fly out of the car while the interior of this un9 is not the final production spec it should give us a glimpse at what it will be like when it reaches customer hands later this year the short answer is you
Can’t have your cake and eat it too when you make a super card that undercuts the competition by tens of thousands of dollars something has to give and it seems clear that the un9 isn’t going to provide the same level of material quality you’d find it a much more
Expensive Ferrari the question that remains is will the un9 be able to pull a Corvette and offer a driving experience that makes up for the plasticky interior that’s going to do it for our first look at the Yang Wang un9 electric Supercar obviously be sure to like
Subscribe and hit the Bell because we are very likely going to be among the first englishspeaking media to get a chance to actually drive this baby later this year
The Yangwang U9 is a quad motor electric monster with hydraulic suspension and something to prove.
