293.54 MPH Electric Hypercar: BYD Yangwang U9 Track Edition
The Yangwang U9 Track Edition just clocked 293.54 miles per hour with Marc Basseng at Papenburg—making it the fastest electric production car right now. We break down the 1,200-volt platform, the 2,958 brake horsepower powertrain, torque vectoring, and the aero changes that made it possible.
In this video, we cover how the Yangwang U9 Track Edition achieves record speed: a mass-produced 1,200-volt ultra high voltage architecture for lower losses and stronger sustained power, independent torque vectoring that recalculates more than 100 times per second, and DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control to keep the chassis flat under load. We also look at the aero shift—deleting the giant rear wing, adding a larger carbon fiber front splitter—and the role of Giti semi-slick tires on Papenburg’s high-speed test track. We compare this run to the standard U9’s previous 233 miles per hour pass and explain why this new number eclipses electric rivals like the Rimac Nevera R and Aspark Owl. If you love electric hypercars, battery technology, and real-world top-speed testing, this is your deep dive.
