BYD unveiled the Denza Z, its new electric convertible supercar, during the Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle is part of Denza, the Chinese automaker’s premium line.
The car’s design, led by Wolfgang Egger and his global team, follows BYD’s new “Pure Emotion” philosophy. As a result, the Z marks what the brand describes as a new phase in its luxury electric vehicle division.
The carbon fiber body is paired with a hood featuring aerodynamic ducts designed to channel airflow at high speeds. The package is completed by a retractable roof, maintaining the convertible look without compromising structural rigidity.
The chassis adopts the DiSus-M system, an electromagnetic body control system focused on high performance, delivering over 1,000 horsepower and enabling the Z to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds.
In terms of range, the Z does not disappoint. The model is equipped with the second-generation Blade battery, combined with Flash Charging technology, allowing ultra-fast recharging. BYD’s goal is to combine high performance with the ability to cover long distances—an essential combination for electric supercars.
The Denza Z will make its global debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in July, with international markets taking priority before its domestic launch in China, according to Car News China.
Pricing has not yet been announced, but in its home market, local estimates place it between ¥400,000 and ¥500,000 (US$58,600 to US$73,200), well below established Western rivals such as the Maserati GranCabrio, which starts at ¥2,438,000 (US$356,700) in China.
