The secret lies in the intelligent suspension system DiSus, which rapidly compresses and expands the car’s body, generating enough force to lift the vehicle off the ground. Additionally, the U9 reaches a top speed of 392 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.36 seconds.
In a video released by the company, the car is shown tackling a racetrack with potholes, tetrapods, and a colorful square, overcoming all obstacles with precise jumps while reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h.
The vehicle, designed to protect against damage on uneven terrain, impresses not only with its technological innovation but also with its steep price of $137,500.
BYD, a leader in intelligent body control advancements, sells most of its models in China but is already expanding into Europe, including the UK.
The Yangwang U9 marks a milestone in the automotive industry, combining impressive performance, autonomy, and innovation in intelligent suspension, making it an option for those who can afford this level of technology.
